[Tripple Seven]

I know for sure that when the Kenya-Uganda railway workers arrived at a place with cool waters, they asked the local people who told them something enkare naerobi. They they made that point a resting point and later called it nairobi. Kisumu's origin am not sure but for those who lived further inland. Kisumu was a place of plenty so people went to look for food 'kisuma' or be given in luo so then it developed to now Ksm. Homa Bay was a bay, and extension of a large expanse of water inland. Then there was this huge hill that was known all over in luoland 'god rahuma' which was simply called 'god huma' translating into the hill that is known far and yonder. So the white man then saw this bay next to a large hill, so then they called the bay HOMA BAY twenging on the huma since their noses and dialects could let them pick on the 'u' well.Today god huma is known as homa hills and overlaps most of the skyline in former south nyanza. Homa bay, is a town that is slowly fading, am not not sure if that might be coz of reasons of insanity!
