Little is known of the famous Kamukunji Grounds in Kibra Constituency, which is synonymous with political declarations by ODM leader Raila Odinga.
Over the years, the neglected grounds associated with small meetings for those who wanted a haircut and hearsay, has metamorphosed into a reputed political arena where serious pronouncements are made by Raila and his allies.
Back in the late 1980s, a barber planted two trees on the left side of the Kibra grounds, simultaneously planting the seed of a place that would be used for social discourse and where he could do his business.
