William Otunga was born in July 2002, two months after his mother, Isoyi buried her husband, Morris Otunga, at the entrance to her homestead in Ibusilwa, Ikolomani Sub-county.

Isoyi's pregnancy had not been easy. Her husband had collapsed one afternoon on the road, only half a kilometre from their home. To passersby, it was yet another sad case of alcoholism – Morris was known to like his glass of chang’aa after a day selling meat in Musoli market.
