Abstract:The Logooli are a Bantu-speaking people who inhabit the densely populated Vihiga and Sabatia Divisions of Vihiga District in the Western Province of Kenya. Indigenous Logooli moral values were upheld, amongst others, by taboos ('migiro'), oaths ('muma'), and curses ('vilaamo'), which governed Logooli daily conduct. Indigenous Logooli moral values are undergoing rapid change and current Logooli elders have very little knowledge of them. It is nonetheless vital to analyse the main virtues associated with the indigenous moral values and ensure that they are instilled in the younger generation. Bibliogr., sum.
