The article appears to be an autobiography. It reads more like a CV than an encyclopedia article. The tone is promotional. It was previously BLPProdded. It was removed after adding some sources. The sources all seem to be to generic pages that do not mention him. I have not been able to find any significant coverage of him in reliable sources in the searches I have done. There is some coverage, but I do not believe it rises to the level of our notability standards. -- GB fan 14:43, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

keep - a reasonably visible figure in Kenya. Unfortunately, online information about African things is limited. I will delete all unreferenced autobio and add a ref or two. Staszek Lem (talk) 18:43, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
