Description: Unbeknownst to most people, the Luyia tribe is a congeries of Luo, Maasai, Kalenjin and Bantu tribes. Established more than 70 years ago, the Luyia tribe is relatively new by historical standards. It has 18 sub tribes of closely related linguistic and cultural septs but the political unity among these sub tribes has eluded the Luyia tribesmen since the founding of the super ethnic polity.
