Pandashuka By Timothy O. Sumba
“Nikumbukapo mashaka tipitipi yaliyoizonga familia yetu naamini kuwa ulimwengu umefurika malimwengu ya kila nui ambayo hukingama mbele ya walimwengu maishani na kusababisha pandashuka. Kama barabara ndefu ilivyo safari ya Maisha haikosi mabonde, vilima, milima, tambarare na kona. Je. Ni gurufu gani isiyokuwa na gurufu? Kwa bahati njema mawimbi ya safari ngumu hayadumu maishani, huisha namna Maisha yenyewe yanavyoisha.
Baadhi ya Pandashuka ni furaha na huzuni, raha karaha, vicheko na vilio, utajiri na umaskini, shibe na njaa, amani na vita, afya njema na maradhi, upendo na chuki n ahata shwari na shari namna wasemavyo wengine. Kimsingi, pandashuka hutusambazia ama utulivu au uchungu nzima unaozaa jakomoyo sufufu. Je, ni nani asiyejua kuwa painamapo ndipo painukapo?”
"Ni riwaya ya kitawasifu inayomfahamisha msomaji kutalii katika usimulizi aula uliosukwa kwamba ni mlo wa kisanaa kwa kukolezwa mbinu kemkem za sanaa. Mwandishi aliyetopia na kugharika ukwasi wa lugha ameyatumia maneno ya kawaida namna isiyo ya kawaida ili kuukamilisha ubunifu usio na kifani. Mwandishi huyu mahiri amesimulia visa tele vinavyoingiliana na kuunda taswira halisi za pandashuka katika jamii..." Tahakiki ya Fatma Ali Mohamed(Zanzibar)
Adhabu Ya Maisha By Elishaphan Wachira
Mwaisambe alipata taarifa kwamba katika jimbo lao la Matusitusi kulikuwako na mganga mashuhuri. Mganga huyo aliwatibu watu kwa dawa za kienyeji alizokuwa nazo daima. Basi baada ya kusikia habari kumhusu mganga huyo, Mwaisambe aliamua kwenda kumtembelea.
Ndugu Mwaisambe anaonekana kuishi maisha ya kubahatisha. Ni mfano wa vijana wanaoonekana kukosa ruwaza, wanabebwa hobelahobela na upepo wa nakama na kuwaangamiza. Mwaisambe yu safarini kumtafuta mganga mashuhuri asiyemjua asili wala fasili yake. Anapanda milima na kuivuka miamba hadi katika eneo la Kivunja Kimya. Atafaulu kumpata mganga wake? Jisomee upate kujua…

Luo Proverbs and Their Meanings by Ok...
Given the scarcity of dedicated researchers and competent authors on local languages, this work by Okumba Miruka (a renowned author and literary critic) and Jens Aagaard-Hansen (clinician and social anthropologist) is quite powerful and valuable.
They illustrate the fact that there is rich content out there within the indigenous languages that ought to be mined and turned into better use for the current generation and posterity.
At a time of cultural renewal like now and when technology brings challenges and opportunities, promoting local literature is a desirable undertaking that ought to be encouraged and supported.
It is not enough for the government, for example, to enact policies on use of local languages in schooling without corresponding support and promotion of the literature on the same.
This publication makes a major contribution towards the preservation and promotion of local literature and particularly what Prof Austin Bukenya called Orature.
