520 _aAutobiography of Francis Okomo Okello, Kenyan lawyer and corporate leader. The memoir chronicles his journey from a rural upbringing on the shores of Lake Victoria to becoming a key figure in major East and Central African corporations. Born in 1949 in Nyangera Daho village, Siaya County, Okello was the 30th child of Chief Jairo Okello Anam. He explores his Luo ancestry, tracing it back 15 generations to the patriarch Ramogi III Ajwang'. The narrative details a "transfiguration" after he lost his mother and his father he vow to live a life of focus and purpose rather than one of sympathy. He highlights his academic path through schools like Maranda Secondary and Kisii School, eventually earning a law degree from the University of Dar es Salaam and becoming an Albert Parvin Fellow at Princeton University. : The "concert" metaphor reflects his belief that a leader is like a conductor—guiding various "instruments" to play in harmony without playing one themselves. He advocates for being a "polymath" with an interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving
