On 7 June 2014, Nyakundi Report revisits the case of Philip Soi, a 75-year-old man who walked out of prison after serving 32 years behind bars. Two weeks after his release, he had already reunited with one of his relatives in Njoro, but the search for his wife and child was still unresolved.
The report, based on a YouTube video, showed Soi speaking after his release and trying to piece together the family ties he lost during his long incarceration. The central development was not just his freedom, but the fact that the reunion he hoped for was only partial.
According to the source, Soi had been released from prison two weeks earlier after spending 32 years there. The video also identified him as a resident of Njoro and confirmed that the family member he met again was one of his relatives, not his wife or child.
At the time, the story underscored the human cost of long imprisonment: release did not immediately restore the family life he had left behind. His wife and child remained unaccounted for in the report, leaving his reunion incomplete.
