dc.description.abstractMajority of Abagusii hold that they came from a country they identify as MISIRI which gives an impression that it is somewhere beyond the northern part of Kenya. This popular theory, which is held by many Abagusii, contradicts the academically known migration history of the Bantu people which suggest that they originated from the Niger- Congo ( from the Western part of Uganda all through to L. Chad).' This migration history, from the Niger-Congo region, is hardly known to many Abagusii except those with some western education. Even so, it remains the most scholarly plausible history according to migration patterns of the Bantu including Abagusii. It is believed that the Abagusii might have reached their present settlement around the eighteenth century. Though they are a Bantu group who speak one of the Bantu languages-Ekegusii, they are surrounded by non-Bantu speakers- the Luo in the south and south-west, the Kipsigis and the Maasai in the east and south-east respectively. The Kuria who are linguistically related to Abagusii are separated by a corridor of Luo in the south. There is a close linguistic similarity with the Luhyia group of Western Kenya, the central and Eastern Kenya Bantu speakers and the Ganda of Uganda?en_US
