Dear Mr President, allow me to skip the greetings Your Excellency, this is an urgent letter. I am writing to you about my parents and grandparents and my relatives who live in Ushago, Mashamabani or ‘the countryside’ as some Kenyans call our rural areas.
I am writing because of my people upcountry, who live in places with funny names like Kapsoroget and Kebeneti and Kibingei. Obscure localities that do not enjoy the fame of Sugoi, Gatundu, Sacho and Othaya.
