There is a day Jaramogi came to Maseno School for the Maseno Old Boys Association (MOBA) meeting. The excitement we had as students. Gerald Otieno Kanjwang, Ndolo Ayah, Ochieng Oneko, Njeru Githae were there too, but we were focused on Jaramogi. Later my classmate, Wachira Kiboi and I, visited him at this Bondo home on our weekend outing. At UoN, Wachira and I saw him every week at AGIP House. We were also leaders in SONU and youth leaders in Ford Kenya. Jaramogi was a statesman and a Kenyan patriot.

As a guest of US Civil rights Organizer , Charles Cobb Jr. Kenya's Independence VP Oginga Odinga was once arrested in Atlanta while in Atlanta protesting against Black discrimination together with 17 other SNCC students . This was an embarrassment for the relations between US and Kenya after the state realized that they had locked up Kenya VP . He refused to leave jail until all the black students were released . His wishes were granted .

Uganda’s first president Milton Obote was founding member of Kenya's Independence party and worked together with VP Oginga Odinga to transfer Mwai Kibaki from Makerere as a lecturer to Kenya as the first independence party executive officer in 1960 . There is road in Kisumu named Obote road .
@papd3532Күн бұрын
Milton Obote was a frequent visitor to Kisumu and was denied asylum in Kenya by Daniel Moi in 1985 due to his close friendship with VP Oginga Odinga . Odungi Randa was personal assistant to Oginga Odinga and in his youth travelled to Uganda to start marriage negotiations with a Luo-Acholi fiancée but the marriage never materialized as Idi Amin wiped out the entire family of the girl .

VP Oginga Odinga of Kenya and President Milton Obote(Luo-Langi) of Uganda started efforts to unite the Luo of East ,Central, North/North East Africa . The first headquarters of Luo Union was in Kisumu at the OFAFA MEMORIAL HALL . Ambrose Ofafa was the first treasurer of Luo Union and was killed during the British Colonial state of emergency under dubious circumstances . The funeral was conducted in Alego Kargada in Nyanza Kenya .

VP Oginga Odinga started a unity tour and funds drive tour of East,Central and NorthEast Africa to support Luo Union . He would later resign as Luo Ker after he became Kenya VP relinquishing the post to Joel Omer . Other notable Luo Ker included Paul Mboya from South Nyanza Karachuonyo whose son together with Argwings Kodhek,first MP Gem Nyanza,were both the first black lawyers in pre-independence Kenya .

The largest funds drive of LUO UNION was chaired by President Milton Obote(Luo-Langi) in LIRA NORTHERN UGANDA in 1958 with VP OGINGA ODINGA of Kenya present . There is a OBOTE road in Kisumu Kenya . The Luo Ker Odungi Randa met Milton Obote multiple times when he was hosted by VP Oginga Odinga in Kisumu Kenya and named his late son Stephen Milton Obote . The Luo Ker of Kenya was set to Marry in Luo-Acholiland in Uganda but his fiancé’s family was wiped out by Idi Amin after the fall of Milton Obote in 1971.

Kenya's independence constitution was partly written by first US Black Chief Justice Thurgood Marshall who was friends with Kenya Nationalists Jomo Kenyatta, Oginga Odinga and Tom Mboya . Tom Mboya was a Keynote speaker at the March in Washington in 1963 and close friends of Dr. Martin Luther King, Harry Belafonte ,Andrew Young, Sidney Poitier, Ralph Abernathy and other black civil rights leaders . The Kenyan Nationalists and US Black Civil rights leaders set up resources to help educate Black Kenyans denied higher education opportunities by white before Independence in 1963 . Hence Obama father to Harvard .

"Kang'o" = an ancestral name given to this land/Village - specifically, this area. "Ka" = a home belonging to / a domain under a stewardship of ... "Ja-Ramogi" = a demonym/pseudonym - the Ramogi people - any man who identifies as a Luo, like Oginga Odinga, is a Ja-Ramogi' . Consequently, "Kang'o Ka JaRamogi" = The home of Oginga Odinga at Kango village.
