Why Oburu and Raila Odinga have no Christian names

Mzee Jaramogi Odinga was crazy about his firstborn.

He's a steely man, an old stager in politics and quite an accomplished man in his own right.

When he was born in October 1943, Oburu Odinga became "a new possession" to Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. In his book "Not Yet Uhuru", Jaramogi writes how he welcomed Oburu to the world but also mistreated his mother in the process: "I gave her a timetable by which she was to suckle, wash and care for the child."
