The buzz online has centred around a traditional wedding that took place in Ukambani this past weekend, sparking varied responses from Luos who felt the ceremony did not meet the customary standards for a dowry payment ceremony-nyombo.
The concerns were primarily about the attire and the overall substance of the event. In Luo tradition, cows must be walked into the bride's home, and the rope used to lead the cows must be carried back to the groom's home.
