Speeches by PLO Lumumba are both informative and thought-provoking. The Kenyan orator and lawyer is also known for addressing the issues most people are afraid to speak out about in public with ease and a lack of fear.
Lumumba is never intimidated by politicians or corporations when he speaks about the rot in Kenya and Africa in general.

While a huge percentage listen to his speeches, not many hear what the professor tries to communicate considering his statements are both lengthy and detailed.
