Willis Evans Otieno, a partner at Otieno Ogola & Company Advocates, describes Alego as the promised land. Here, the man he is, goes to meet the boy he was. In Alego, he is not the man filing a legal suit here, chasing a client there, or with political leanings. “When I am in Alego,” he says, “I am in basic mode.”

It reminds him of the old days when everything worked. Garbage collection. Tight security. Communal upbringing. Everything worked, until it didn’t. He moved to Nairobi to have a chance at that thing called success.
