North and South Korean leaders met in a handshake today, hagged and clasped hands. This is after six decades of wars and tensions.

One hot and dusty afternoon, business in the dusty Ugunja market came to a standstill. The doyen of Luo politics and liberation hero Jaramogi Oginga Odinga was in town. As hundreds milled around his car, he slowly got up from the backseat and popped half of his body through the vehicle’s sunroof.

Orengo out of their idle talks! Senator Hon James Aggrey Bob Orengo is not just any other politician that you can be hired by one Denis Onyango to write nonsense about.Read More »
