The year is 1962 hata Kenya bado haijapita independence…This super couple Tom and Pamela pulled a first that sidhani even in the 20th century any other Kenyan has been able to appear in the Ebony Magazine let alone their wedding been featured huko…

Eish Kenya we have a rich history that is never taught anywhere in the school system…Thanks to Owaah sikuwa najua hii mambo

Come to think of it he was only 32 years old…32 and he was not even born with a silver spoon? And this was during the colonial Era where Africans were third class citizens…mpaka Governer anskuja kwa Wedding yake and Freddie Mutesa 2 of Uganda…

Anyone who has an autobiography of Tom Mboya share hapa

He remains the only guy whose assassination I find extremely difficult to believe it was sanctioned by State House…i.e…Mzee…

He had to go. He was outshining everyone. The wedding is evidence that the artificial ethnic divide wasnt as big as it is now.
