The Abairifuma clan traces its origin from our forefather Masirivai of the Purko sub-tribe of Maasai tribe. masirivai is believed to have moved from Narok county.
After assimilation with other Banyala clans, the Abairifuma rose steadily to clinch the leadership mantle. To date, the most dorminant of all the 52 clans of Banyala of Kakamega is the Abairifuma clan.
