Monday was May 17, the so-called anniversary of Stella’s return from Japan to Kenya. Social media was abuzz with mentions of #Stella and how she ‘ate’ Freshley Mwamburi’s airfare.

In Machakos, Mwamburi was all dressed up for the occasion. He was in a celebratory mood, a far cry from 29 years ago when he was distraught, wanting to "cry in languages he didn't know".
