In a bid to make the Luo Council of Elders a vibrant and more visible institution, Ker Nyandiko Ong'adi has outlined various activities and programmes that his office will be engaged in throughout 2024 and beyond. Ker Nyandiko, however, pointed out that only cultural practices and traditions that are still deemed beneficial will be promoted even as the community discards nolonger sustainable practices. Ker said he would also use the planned meetings to preach unity amongst the Luo nation and vouch for peaceful coexistence even with its neighbours. The Luo Council of Elders is an existing social structure in the Luo community that was traditionally used to solve problems, share information and educate the younger generation. Ker Nyandiko noted that the leadership of the Luo Council of Elders is also looking at various proposals that they hope to roll out to give the cultural outfit financial autonomy moving forward.
