Your father’s influence on your academic achievements, including your remarkable journey from Biochemistry at UoN to a PhD in Vienna, is a true testament to his unwavering support and belief in your potential.

A great trade unionist representing Railways Workers Union as Kisumu Branch Secretary and Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) Nyanza Area Chaiman, was Chairman of West Kano Cooperative Society of Rice Farmers for many years. Instrumental in the Inauguration and implementation of Rabuor Water Supply System. Surely a man of the people.
