Missing 2 if there are 42, and more than that if the number is bigger than 42. If I was to count all the Luhya sub tribes, the list goes to over 50. What if I omit the unheard of tribes eg Orma, Njemps, Gabbra, El Molo, but even so, the list is still more than 42.

How could you leave the main inhabitants of an ENTIRE province off that list?
@Mo. I'm lost.
Central,
Eastern
North Eastern,
Rift Valley,
Nyanza,
Western,
Coast,
Nairobi.
Which one???
North-Eastern.
North Eastern we mainly have Boran, Rendilee, Galla, Gabbra, who have I left out? No offence coz I'm sensing I've left you out.
Pls don't say Somali coz I associate them with Somalia.
There are 481,000 Somalis in Kenya and, believe it or not, historians claim that the area of Kenya that we now call North-Eastern province has been populated by Somalis for over two thousand years.
May I ask why you don't associate Somalis with being Kenyan?
Mo
Hongera! I don't think I could have come up with a quarter of the list.
I have a link for my research
Maua...for your information Borana, Rendilee, Galla, Gabbra reside in Eastern province and not in Northern Eastern province.
@Mo, I'm sorry. But the arrogance in me just assumes, now I know. Pole again.
@Phassie, I just wanted to be a good mum. I still need one more tribe to make 42, any idea.
@Anon, I guess I'll start another piece of work, establishing exactly where the tribes live.
Na Bado. KTN were saying last evening that we're 75!
@Hlumiti. Ati 75, I need a word with KTN, how they got 75. Right now, I'm after the one remaining to make my 42.
Your list of 40 has now left out the Teso. They are not part of the luhya group.
And we may even be 106! Here's a related article;
