Prof Ken Waliaura Walibora was among the finest Swahili fiction writers Kenya has ever had. He was also a renowned linguistic, poet, author and media personality.
He was born on 6th January, 1964 in Baraki, Bungoma County. This was a significant time in history since Kenya had just gained independence from the colonialists. Walibora's influence in the Swahili literary heritage still stands out and remains remarkable in many ways.
