Timeline
The song was adopted by KBC then called Voice of Kenya as an intro song to their news bulletin. According to Enock, However, this was contrived without his knowledge or concurrence and he therefore has not in any way benefited from the use of his song by KBC. Enock filed a lawsuit against KBC in 2010 seeking to be remunerated, It was decided that he be paid the sum of KSh.50 million/= but has allegedly not been reimbursed.
Ondego discovered his interest in music whilst teaching at the school, and started composing songs. After Kenyan independence, he became the first Kenyan teacher to sing for the then president Mzee Jomo Kenyatta. So impressed was Jomo by Ondego's music that he elected him head of the presidential music association in 1969. It was at exactly the same period that Ondego recorded the song Kenya ni Nchi ya Ajabu. This song was inspired by his personal experience of the suppression of the Mau Mau rebellion.
When Mzee Jomo Kenyatta died in 1978, Enock composed yet another song, praising the late president. The song, Wimbo huu ni wimbo wa Historia is a delineation of the tribulations of Kenyatta and the other Kapenguria Six detainees when they were apprehended in 1952 and detained without trial. It also tells of the Kisumu riots that met Jomo when he visited Kisumu on 29 October 1969. The song was passed down as a theme song for the iniquitous Kenyatta Day celebrations up to when the holiday was renamed Mashujaa Day
