IKHONGA MRWI (CRYING STONE)
This is a potential tourist attraction in Kakamega county a few metres on kakamega- kisumu highway. The stone is held dear and is of great cultural and spiritual importance to the Luhya community and the Isukha sub-tribe in particular. The Isukha live around the rock's formation. To visitors, it is just another attraction but to the locals, it affects their lives in many ways just as it affected the lives of their forefathers.

Villagers say when the stone cries, it is a good omen, signalling a bumper harvest, for instance. When there is drought, the community carries out rituals here to persuade the gods to bring rain. Other rituals are performed to allay disasters. There is a symbolic meaning when the stone ‘cries' when it has not rained, villagers say.
