Mr Riggy G as nicknamed affirms that Obokano remains a great instrument for performance by Kisii Polytechnic during the Kenya Music festival, Kisumu County.
The Deputy President was accompanied by several leaders across the country among them South Mugirango legislator Hon Silvanus Osoro, Bomet County MP Hon Linet Toto among others joining Education CS George Magoha in Kisumu for the Schools’ National Music Festival finals.
