Product Description

The pioneer Canon is described in the book as “a great leader among the early Anglican priests in Western Kenya and Eastern Uganda” who became the first Luhya to be ordained as a priest in Western Kenya, which he used to play a leading role in reaching out and converting thousands of residents in that region. Family has made big impression.
Politics and the Awori family have been synonymous for close to a century, thanks to the patriarch Canon Yeremiah Awori of the Anglican Church.
Canon Awori married Mariamu in 1919 at the age of 26 years and, by the standards then, could afford a bride wealth of 20 head of cattle. They were blessed with 16 children, three of who plunged into politics and left an indelible mark.
The Awori patriarch was the first member of the North Kavirondo Local Native Council in 1925. Other than his three children who went into politics and became household names, the other 14 followed their hearts and were great achievers in their chosen paths in surgery, banking, sports, law, academia, writing, diplomatic service, the corporate world and business.
