Fred Odeo Sirari or simply known as Odeo Sirari (born December 19, 1978) is a Kenyan journalist, currently working as the Kiswahili Editor with radio Umoja. Odeo has oftenly been confused to be from the Luo ethnic group. However he is not the only one from the Teso Ethnic group who has fallen victim of the confusion. The most famous politician from the Teso community Fredrick Oduya Oprong who participated in Kenya’s independence struggle has also been confused to be a Luo. The Main reason for this could be because the Teso people who are simply a minority in Kenya compared the Teso in Uganda, have closely worked with the Luo in many social aspects, most notably in Politics. Oduya Oprong while joining politics in colonial Kenya worked with Kenya’s first vice president Jaramogi Oginga Odinga to push for Jomo Kenyatta’s release. And up to date, the Iteso have step where the Luos walk. The current Amagoro member of Parliament Sospeter Odeke Ojaamong is a close ally of Prime minister Raila Odinga.
