‘Prodigal son’ returns after three decades

In our December 17, 2014 issue, we highlighted the story of Ernest Wawire from Navakholo constituency, Kakamega County, whose family had not seen since 1986 when he left to seek greener pastures in Meru.

On July 29, 2015 the “prodigal son” returned home to a warm welcome as villagers of Namakoye thronged Wawire’s homestead to see and confirm for themselves that the 62-year-old had indeed come back home.
