Samuel Otieno, the sculptor who molded caricatures of key African heads of state, and who shot to prominence earlier in the year, is hoping President Uhuru s visit to Kisumu ends with him collecting his caricature.
The Madaraka Day celebrations are just about to commence, and Samuel is seated strategically at the front in a section overlooking the newly-launched Jomo Kenyatta International stadium grounds. The artist proudly displays his art, springing up to pose with the sculptures for any interested passersby.
One bears the likeness of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. The other features former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta during the iconic handshake moment.
