Dear Osienyo,

Thanks so much for your effort

The genealogy of Bwai is not the way you have documented , this post does not portray Bwai , i am a grandchild of Bwai family and i have kept the genealogy of bwai the way it was passed by our forefathers and the way its still being held by our grandparents through the ages. you may consider review of the post please.

You don't have to give the Bwayi strange names and a genealogy that is not ours.

You don't seem to know many significant members of this warrior clan that…

Thank you very much for your candid comments. I will remove it and replace it with a more referenced write up. Indeed I will also cross check with celebrated Ayots's writings
