Abakabrasi or Abalasi?
People from Kabras are concentrated around the Malava area, just outside Kakamega. They are referred to variously as Abakabarasi, Abalasi or Abakabras. Most of the recorded information about them is courtesy of Prof Gideon Were. During his research in the late 1960's, he spoke to Madayo Shirenje, their chief spokesman at the time who said that Munyala was the ancestor of the Abakabrasi (Abalasi).

He had two sons, Muhongo and Mukhulu (Shikhulu). Mukhulu lived at Mulubembe near Mbale in Uganda. He died at Tororo where he and his brother Muhongo separated, the latter moving farther to the west. Mukhulu was the father of Nangwira. Nangwira was the father of Masha; father of Chenye; father of Chisakati; father of Kabuko; father of Mucheluli; father of Chibwire; father of Kole; father of Muchanja; father of Ndoone.
