The photo is from "ODINGA FAMILY" so the truth in the caption on it is still debatable.

A document's proof cannot be the same document.

Ati "this document is true because it says right here that it is true." Nope.

Ata watchman hupiigwa picha wakiwa na mwenye property doesn't mean he also owns the property

Uganda Railway_1909_

Built by the British government, and named for its ultimate destination, the Uganda Railway didn’t actually reach Uganda. Construction began in 1896 in the port city of Mombasa and continued its course northwest through today’s Kenya to its terminus on the eastern shore of Lake Victoria. Progress came at a high cost, however, not just financially but in the thousands of workers who lost their lives. Complicated by political resistance, difficult terrain, disease, warring tribes, and man-eating lions, the line finally reached Port Florence(Kisumu) in 1901. Travelers wanting to continue on to Uganda would then take a steamship across the lake to Entebbe, Uganda’s former capital.

Cheesos, hii mashine ilikua muoto ndugu. Reminds me we used to have one na house parties weekend usiku, and those were days I was learning how to fondle young taut breasts and...oh shit man!

It was also the time the likes of Charles Chepkwony had great hits like Magtalena and Chebusirinik
