I suspect he is.

But why hasn't his publisher released sales data of the book so far?


Did you mean best selling or most available? Because most people have free copies.

BBI will solve it :)

I salute him for one thing: He has helped me identify, with reasons, who I will NOT vote for. Who I will vote for, I still don't know.

Most Kenyans, myself included, are not readers. It is not an issue of money. Even if this book was sold for 500, most would still not read it. I am in possession of the FORA-distributed free PDF copy and am yet to go past the preface. I know Githongos bk is available but I havent read it too. Apart from set books, the best sell could be Kiriamiti. My last local read was 3 days on the cross by Wahome Mutahi
