Kou Voravong
The political crisis caused by his assassination, barely two months after the Geneva Agreements which prepared to restore peace in Indochina, contributed to bring down the current neutralist government (pro-French) which was replaced by a progressive one (pro-American) in extremely tense atmosphere of the Cold War between Russia and the United States. From 1955 indeed, the political history of this small landlocked country fell trapped inexorably in the ideological confrontation between the capitalist United States and the communist Soviet Union, annihilating any hope of national unification.
Phares Oluoch Kanindo
After the death of [[Tom Mboya]], the Luo community was left with no option since Jaramogi was in the opposition. Kanindo however manoeuvred his way into the community, by joining hands with Ngengi Muigai to bring the community back to its feet. Kanindo and Ngengi Muigai led delegation to Nakuru State House to visit the then president of Kenya, Mzee [[Jomo Kenyatta]]. The delegation was led by the then Luo Elder Ker. Mbuya Akoko and other elders. This did not succeed as planned as Kenyatta died two weeks after their first attempt.
