Girango People
The Girango people (also known as JoSuba or Joka-Kombe) is a group of Luo people who fall in the group known as Acholi people, Joka Jok. They include the Suna people, Suna/Suba people (Kenya), Suba, Wategi/Kamagambo-Kanying'ombe, Wagire, JoKasgunga, JoSidho, JoKabar, JoMur, JoKiseru etc. They migrated to Kenya from northern Uganda, and are believed to be the brothers of the Simbiti.

Some historians tend to use the ''Bunchari'' dialect of the Kuria spoken by the Simbiti, as well as the Kuria culture followed by the Simbiti to discuss the Girango people. References
