Kamba People
The Kamba (Akamba in the plural) are a Bantu ethnic group who live in the semi-arid Eastern Province of Kenya stretching east from Nairobi to Tsavo and north up to Embu, Kenya. This land is called Ukambani. Sources vary on whether they are the third, fourth or the fifth largest ethnic group in Kenya. They speak the Bantu Kikamba language as a mother tongue.

Famous quotes containing the word people:
“Once you are involved in politics, the most difficult thing is to go for hang [be sentenced to death]....We can’t cry over what has happened to us because other people suffer lots more than we suffer.... until you are killed, you can’t say that you have really suffered.”
—Ela Ramgobin (b. 1941)
