Orma people by Kenyans247(1): Thu 14, May, 2020 06:30am

The Orma people are a community found in eastern Kenya belonging to the Oromo ethnic group, mostly along the lower Tana River.[1] They are semi-nomadic shepherds, and they live in the southeastern deserts of Kenya except during the rainy season, when they move their herds inland.

The Orma people number 158,993 in 2019.[2] They are related to the Borana Oromo people to the north[1] and speak the Orma language, a variety of Oromo. They trace their roots from Ethiopia.

Orma people are mainly Muslims. One can easily confuse them with Somalis. Like other pastoral communities, the Orma people have no personal land ownership. Their land is community owned.
