The life of Senate Speaker Amason Kingi has all along been about the audacity of hope. When he was born in 1970 at Kamale village in Kilifi County, his father Kingi Mwaruwa Mukweha says all the odds were stacked against him.
Mukweha, 82, says the family was steeped in penury and buffeted by insecurity in the remote and bushy village in what was then Kilifi District.
Mr Kingi at some point promised to change the situation in the event he got into a position of power.
