On the balcony of his fairly modest mansion on the outskirts of Lodwar town, Turkana Deputy Governor Dr Erus Lopeyok wakes up every morning to stare at the horizon in fervent honour of the wonders of nature.
Sometimes when the moon is full, and the night heat unbearable, he pulls a mattress and sleeps on the balcony counting his fortunes in the firmament. Providence has been on his side from the day he was born in Kalokol, 60 kilometres away from Lodwar.
