Visit to Kit Mikayi (Crying stone) in Kisumu county

Visit to Kit Mikayi
In Luo dialect the phrase translates to 'the stone of the first Wife'.
It was or is said that, long time ago, there was an old man by the name 'Ngeso' who was in great love with the stone. Every day when he woke up in the morning, he could walk into the cave inside the stone and stay there the whole day, and this could force his wife to take to him breakfast and lunch every day.
The old man became passionately in love with this stone to the extent that when people asked his wife his whereabouts, she would answer that he has gone to his first wife 'Mikayi', hence the stone of the first wife 'Kit Mikayi'.
An explanation of the shape of this unique stone is that the structure represents the Luo cultural polygamous family which had the first wife's house 'Mikayi' built further in between on the right hand side was the second wife's house 'Nyachira' while the third wife's house 'Reru' was built on the left hand side of the homestead.
This rock is also seen to have a nuclear family whereby the father 'Ngeso' being the middle stone followed by the bulky 'Mikayi' first wife, then 'Nyachira', second wife followed by 'Reru', third wife and further in front they have the child which is representing 'Simba' which is the house for the first born boy in the homestead.
From a long time, this stone has been a sacred place for the villagers to worship in times of trouble.
