Upcoming title: My Journey with Jaramogi by Odinge Odera

Informed sources tell me that Odinge Odera, the first secretary of the Kenya Press Club that was formed in July 1965 is to release an autobiography of sorts but capitalising on his time with the late Jaramogi Oginga Odinga.

Odinge Odera was among the top 19 KPU men to be detained in November 1969. In a November 11, 1969 Kenya Gazette signed by the Permanent Secretary to the Ministry of Home Affairs. Mr. A. J. Omanga, Odinge was detained alongside Ochola Mak'Anyengo,Ondiek Chilo, Ochola Achola, Jeremiah Opiyo, Onyango, Okello Odongo, Solomon Obeid Oiro and others.
The book, 'My journey with Jaramogi' or words to that effect should be coming out in two weeks time or so.
The book will be published by African Research and Resources Forum, the publishers of A leap into the future - 2007 (By Prof Anyang Nyong'o), Discourses on Civil Society in Kenya and the quartely New Path.
