Born in January 1923 in Chebukwa village of Western Kenya, His Eminence Michael Otunga, the son of African chief, was the first Bukusu priest to be ordained on 3rd October 1950. Cardinal Otunga wanted to be what he terms “ an ordinary Priest” but he found himself being made the first bishop, archbishop and Cardinal in Kenya in rapid succession.
In 1962, Otunga was among the few African Bishops who had the privilege and opportunity to attend the Vatican II council in Rome. Twice he was at the conclave in Vatican’s Sistine chapel in Rome, at the election of Pope John Paul I and Pope John Paul II.
