let me dig up more history on him.@Meria . You have impressive historical photo collections.
But, I never heard about this fellow, Sir George Owino.
Growing up, I only knew of Sir Charles Njonjo, Duke of Kabeteshire.
.
The Big G ( Big George) - Kenya and their indigenous entrepreneurs.
The late Sir George Owino, was the man behind chewing gum that came to be a household name in Kenya and East African market. Competing with others like Juicy fruit, spearmint and PK, which became to be known as Orbit.
The manifestation of Sir George's industry and commitment to his projects was the setting up of the Wrigley factory in Nairobi, to cater for the East African market.
Through the success of the Big G, which was the first gum to be manufactured in such a size in the world, the mother company got convinced that setting up a factory to cater for East African would a wise thing.
As the market share of the gum, which was his innovation, grew so did his stature, and he rose to become the chair of Wrigley EA, a post he held till his retirement in 1998 to concentrate his energies on Orbit Distributors, the firm he set up in 1977 to solely distribute Wrigley products in East African Market.
The only child to Patrict Owidh and Maria Obiero ( born 1941), Sir George attended Sega primary school in Siaya County and Shimo La Tewa intermediate school.
Big G passed on in July 2004. His story is closely similar to to that of Sir Henry's.

Whatever move the Bishop takes, it will not land in the path of the Queen.
The joke is on the joker.
The Curious Case of the Chronovisor:
The alleged device, which according to many is nothing more than science fiction, was purportedly built in the 1950s by a team of scientists led by Father Pellegrino Maria Ernetti (1925-1994), an Italian physicist who eventually became a priest. It is worth mentioning as well that he enlisted the help of twelve of the world’s most prominent scientists, who wished to remain anonymous. Of those twelve, two were named years after they died, one Nobel laureate Enrico Fermi, and one Werner Von Braun of NASA and NAZI fame.
Father Pellegrino Maria Ernetti (1925-1994) was a Benedictine priest, scientist, and world-class authority on "archaic" music (pre-Christian to 10th century A.D.). He claimed to have yoked quantum physics to the occult arts to construct a time-machine: the chronovisor. Is the Vatican suppressing the full truth of Father Ernetti’s life and achievements? In 1988, the Vatican issued a decree in which it warned that anyone using, an instrument of such characteristics would be excommunicated. To many, this was an unnecessary warning since, according to the Church, the Chronovisor never existed. So why issue a warning for just another hoax?
Reports by Father Ernetti suggest that whoever uses the device is able to capture and record specific locations, important events, and track noteworthy individuals. He revealed that it worked by ‘…processing residual electromagnetic radiation left over by numerous processes…’ though giving few details, Father Ernetti remained secretive and stated he was not at liberty to reveal further details about the Chronovisor.
“‘…processing residual electromagnetic radiation left over by numerous processes…’”
In addition to the crucifixion and a speech given by Napoleon Bonaparte, Father Ernetti also claimed to have witnessed a 169 BC production of the tragedy, “Thyestes”, which has been considered a lost work in modern times as only a few fragments of the text remains intact. Father Ernetti claimed to have reconstructed the entire text, which was later translated to English by Princeton University professor, Dr. Katherine Owen Eldred. Eldred noted in her analysis that she believed Ernetti had written the play himself rather than transcribing an original performance.
According to French priest and paranormal author, François Brune, he met Father Ernetti in the 1960s when the two were traveling across the Grand Canal of Venice. As the two were experts in ancient languages, they began to talk about the Bible and its interpretation through the years. The Chronovisor has been described as a large cabinet with antennae made from alloys of unknown metals, a connected cathode ray tube, and a control panel of buttons and levers.
In a 2003 interview, François Brune relayed that a few months prior to Father Ernetti’s death in 1994, Ernetti told him that he had just partaken in a meeting at the Vatican with the last remaining scientists who worked on the Chronovisor. According to Father Ernetti via Brune, the Chronovisor had been dismantled by that time. On his death bed, Father Ernetti reportedly recanted his claims of the Chronovisor; however, Brune theorized that Ernetti was coerced into recounting everything.

A Bishop doesn't move one step forward in this context.
When Levi Strauss designed the denim (jeans), it was meant for farmers working in the field and cow boys(wachunga ng'ombe kina Musubcounty and co.) ,he used the fabric because of its durability, the small pocket was meant for the pocket watch..How the jeans became a fashion statement bado nashangaa

C. 1930_ A portrait of a Luo elder (identified as Maena*) with personal adornments, probably befitting a funeral ceremony, clad in a silk gown (joho). His impressive headdress includes two bunches of animal tail hair or feathers tied together, four hippo teeth (leke rawo) curving upwards on each side of the head, and a beautiful cowry shell hat (ogut gagi) on which all the items are attached. He is also holding a racking stick (ragwar).
