Long before Maurice Ochieng became associated with political rallies and public service, Kenyans knew him for his humorous impersonations of prominent political leaders.
Popularly known as Mdomo Baggy, he rose to prominence as a member of Redykyulass, the comedy group that made political satire a familiar feature of Kenyan television in the early 2000s.
