President Kenyatta has condoled with the family of celebrated Kenyan Kiswahili scholar, author & journalist Prof Ken Walibora.

He was known for several literary works including the popular ‘Siku njema’ novel published in 1996.
Some of his other novels include Kidagaa kimemwozea and Innocence long lost.
