Professor Charles Odidi Okidi, the author of In pursuit of Excellence. [Wilberforce Okwiri, Standard}
Walking with donkeys for whatever distance is not an easy task. It is less complicated than a rural boy learning to ride a bicycle in a village where such a device is a novelty, only seen when dignitaries came calling.
Peers agree that Prof Charles Odidi Okidi was not an ordinary boy and were not shocked that he mastered the two feats at quite an early age. And obstinate he was!
How else would one describe a boy who could persuade a heard of donkeys to neigh and bray their way from Karachuonyo, Homa Bay County to Kisii only to exchange them for basket full of cereals.
