The 1957 colonial bungalow is dwarfed by two 10-storied apartment blocks on the left side of the bushy fence. And just outside the closed metal garage doors, a stiff backed wooden armchair, patiently sits, waiting for its master to reclaim it when he has time. The armchair’s back is carved like a map of Kenya and has bold inscriptions: Kenya Independents. This too has its own story for Kihoro is the chair of independent candidates. Behind the closed doors, there is a sense of independence on the shelves. It is a theatre of political ideologies whose proponents are long gone but their ideas are still persuasive to those willing to flip through the tomes in search of knowledge.
