A niece of the late Robert Ouko, she was interested in politics in 1992. She recalls how she realized where her fate was in 1990s, when she followed her family discussions on political developments in the country.

our stand. However, when the two leaders saw that the issues between them were much smaller than Kenya, they put all their differences aside.
