Last Sunday, a young lady who goes by the name Sheila Kwamboka was voted out of a reality show called Big Brother. I was proud when Kwamboka was chosen to be a Big Brother housemate, she seemed a most urbane young woman on the face of it, and second, let’s face it, she’s from my Gusii ethnicity — just the same way we are all proud of, say, Jelimo, but the people of Kapsabet are even prouder.
