Michael Wamalwa Chronicles: The life story of the eloquent, stylish and flamboyant Kijana Wamalwa

[@kensimiyu5926]

Him and kibaki were genius brought together by politics they all scored 6 distinctions at form 4 to join A levels,Wamalwa very eloquent and adeculate while kibaki very calculative and a brilliant 👏 economist we miss these great leaders

The best documentary I have ever watched on Michael Kijana Wamalwa

[@CassiusDio-ce2pq]

One cant help but notice the pain in president kibaki's gaze of his friend Wamalwa Kijana's lifeless body in the casket

[@KingJames-wl4kl]

When I met Wamalwa Kijana in Eldoret town in 2001 he had to see the late Ken Wafula at Muya house. I shook his hand with a bukusu greeting. As he answered he said translated,, kumbe tuko huku wengi... He asked to be shown Ken's office. I walked him to Ken's office and as I passed our office I made everyone aware of that. I was shaking as we walked the stare case. A great man.
