Moses Substone Mudamba Mudavadi, Wycliffe Musalia Mudavadi, Tessie Mudavadi.
Life is full of happy coincidences. Take the Mudavadis. Their patriarch, Moses Mudavadi, was the District Education Officer in the Rift Valley, where he gassed his battered Land Rover to collect fees, pay teachers and inspect schools dressed in khaki shorts.
That was how he met Daniel arap Moi, a teetotaler teacher chosen to replace the ever drunk Dr John ole Tameno as the representative of the Rift Valley in the colonial Legislative Council (Legco). But there was a problem. What if Moi left his teaching job, but later found politics a tough call?

Five siblings were engaged in a hearty chat outside the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) campus in Kakamega town yesterday.
They radiated with joy in their black gowns and could not hide their joy as their father, Francis Agoi,68, stared at them in admiration.
Agoi cannot believe that his three sons and two daughters are graduating together with masters degrees.
