The Making Of The Duke of Emali

This is the story of a boy-dreamer, born in the quaint sleepy village of Kwakakulu near Emali tading centre along the Nairobi-Mombasa highway in Makueni county of the lovely country called Kenya. Richard Kioko Kiundi grew up not concioulsy aware of his special abilities, yet having total confidence in tackling sometimes vicious challenges in his way. Being always top in class in Nduundune primary school is not something he sacrificed for, but it came naturally. Determined to join Alliance high school even though he did not know much about it, let alone where it was, except that it was agood school, was just another challenge. This is about a boy-leader who transitioned into a man leader wherever he ended up. It's about a man who had, at some point, to learn that sometimes, the people closest are the worst enemies, and the world is spiked with horrible characters. This is about a man who has reached the top, then hit the bottom, battled cancer, and, just like other thorny pathways, has emerged to live another day, to fight and win another battle as a stronger and, perhaps, a wiser man.
