A Historic

Homecoming

A Powerful Luo Reconnection

ROCCO PACO is honoured and deeply proud to announce a moment of great historical importance for our people.

This December, Professor Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o, the distinguished Governor of Kisumu County in Kenya, will make a historic ancestral homecoming to Acoliland.

For us, the Acoli, this is far more than a visit.
It is the return of a brother.
It is a reaffirmation of identity.
It is a celebration of unity across borders.

This moment fills our hearts with pride and excitement.

A Milestone in Luo Unity

The Governor, together with the First Lady Dorothy Nyong’o and an official delegation from Kisumu, will join us too as one Luo community united by ancestry, culture and history.

Their homecoming stands as a powerful symbol of our shared roots and the unbreakable bond between the Acoli of Uganda and the Luo of Kenya.

ROCCO PACO is humbled and honoured to help bring this historic reunion to life.
