Kenyan Fort Lewis College grad to speak about African politics

 

Article Last Updated: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 11:13pm

If you graduated from Fort Lewis College in 2001, you likely remember a tall Kenyan in your class. Ledama Olekina, a Maasai who is running for governor in his native country, is back in Durango.

Olekina is scheduled to give a talk at 7 tonight at the Strater Hotel.

He is looking for support for his candidacy, but he plans to address a number of subjects as well as his campaign.

He will talk about African politics and the electoral process, which changed in 2010 when Kenyans voted in a new constitution. He also will talk about business and tourism opportunities for Durangoans in his state of Narok.

For more information, email Olekina at olekina@enkanasa.com, or call him at (617) 610-9848.
