Lawyer Steve Ogolla and Cebbie Nyasego’s traditional wedding was full of glamour and exhilaration.

Born in Ugenya, Siaya County, Ogolla grew up in a polygamous family, with his mother being the first wife. He had two step mums and 18 siblings.
He has two beautiful daughters from a previous relationship.

Ogolla was a top student in Primary school. He sat his KCPE exam in 1997, passed, and got admitted to St Mary’s School Yala for his secondary education.
He joined Moi University in 2007 as a law student and to be able to survive because the Helb loan was not enough, he would sell kienyeji chicken to students and some of his lecturers to supplement his stipend.
The prominent lawyer had to redo his KCSE 3 times to make it to campus after school fees strains, which led to poor grade performance.
