Man keeps promise and shaves dreadlocks he kept for 10 years after Raila is sworn in as president

Raila Odinga was sworn in as the people’s president on Tuesday January 30th. Celebrations rocked his strongholds as supporters took to the streets to express their joy.

A businessman in Siaya town decided to celebrate Raila’s swearing-in in a special way. David Oguyo had vowed to shave his dreadlocks in the event that Raila Odinga becomes president.

Oguyo decided to have the dreadlocks after the disputed 2017 election which saw Kenya descend into violence. He was infuriated by how Raila was rigged out and vowed not to shave his dreadlocks until Raila becomes president.

10 year wait

David Oguyo’s dream finally became a reality after the events of Tuesday January 30th. The Siaya businessman finally shaved his dreadlocks following the swearing-in.

Oguyo said the swearing-in was an indication that things will be better. He said that Raila is the only person who can liberate Kenya from the yoke of dictatorship and bad leadership.
