keko Early Life
My mother is from Tororo, and my father is from Kisumu [in Kenya], but I never met him. I pretty much used to commute between Tororo and Kampala, because my mother was working as a clearing agent for a freight company in Kampala in the 1990s. She passed away in 1994. From then, I had to move back to live with my aunties in Tororo. It was just really weird because my mom was the only parent I had.
