EALA Member of Parliament Oburu Odinga on Thursday launched his autobiography titled ?In the Shadow of my Father? that details the family life, career, and political pursuits of the Oginga family and Kenya’s history through his eyes.

The launch ceremony, held in Nairobi, was graced by a number of political bigwigs and high profile industry shapers, key among them were ODM Leader Raila Odinga, Royal Media Services Chairman SK Macharia, and lawyer James Orengo.

While making his remarks, Oburu said he was surprised by how many people were looking forward to the launch of his autobiography, based on the turnout at the event.

?I also want to express my gratitude particularly because of the enthusiasm I saw everyone who came here had about this book I did not know when I was writing that this book would draw a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of interest the way it has done,? Oburu said.

On his part Raila congratulated his brother for his accomplishment, insisting that the book will resonate well with readers just like other works penned by great African authors.

?Not yet Uhuru (Jaramogi Odinga), The tales of Freedom (John Okri) and Now Oburu?s Biography.?
Orengo also underscored that the book will have a huge cultural and social impact on the history, culture, and the people of Kenya.
