My guest today is 84 year-old Mr Arrow Solomon Oburu who describes himself as a proud grandpa, father and husband to Peres Atieno Oburu. He shares about his university education in Liberia and then working as a civil servant. He has just published his first book, Passing on the Baton. In this first part we are talking about life in the colonial days and what it meant growing up then and he reflects on where we can do better as a society; the first being not aping the Western culture and developing an appreciation of our culture. We talk about the Luo culture and the significance of some practises that were demonised by the missionaries. We also talk about love…. Mr Oburu’s definition will get you thinking deeply. Love and responsibility are intertwined….
