Kakamega. Residents of Eshisari village in East Mumias were left in disbelief this past weekend after a 99-year-old man, who disappeared from his home 60 years ago, returned unexpectedly—walking stick in hand and carrying nothing more than a small suitcase.
Boniface Muhandia, who left the village in 1965 at the age of 39 in search of work in Uganda, has been missing for so long that many of his relatives assumed he had died. His return, more than half a century later, has reopened old wounds and stirred emotions in a community that had long given up hope of ever seeing him again.
