Description
A group of young boys, girls and adults in the background encountered on the road, described as a group of Kisii people. One woman is carrying a large basket on her head. The clothing of overthrown-wrap as seen here with two of the men was not much practiced among the Luo, as it was in the highlands among the Kipsigis, Nandi and Kisii. [Gilbert Oteyo 9/9/2004]
