This black and white photograph, appearing to be mounted and displayed on a light-colored wall, depicts an indoor meeting of seven African men. The photograph itself is currently located in South Sakwa ward, Kenya, as specified. The event depicted occurred in Nairobi in 1958. Six men are seated around a rectangular wooden table covered with numerous documents and papers. All seated individuals are wearing suits or collared shirts and ties, actively engaged with the papers. From right to left, the seated individuals are identified by the accompanying caption as: Chairman Oginga Odinga (rightmost, wearing a light suit, left hand on documents, looking right), Benard Mati (wearing glasses, light shirt and tie, holding a pen, looking at documents), Nzau Muimi (wearing glasses, dark suit, holding a pen, looking at documents), Masinde Muliro (wearing a dark suit and tie, holding a pen, looking at documents), and Daniel Arap Moi (far left, wearing a light suit, hands on documents, looking down). One closed, possibly leather-bound, folder rests on the table in the foreground. Two other men are standing behind the seated group, observing the proceedings. The caption identifies Ronald Ngala as standing (prominent, wearing a light-colored shirt, looking down at the table), and Tom Mboya is presumed to be the second standing individual (partially obscured, behind Ngala and Muliro, also wearing a light-colored shirt). In the background, behind the standing figures, a stack of files or papers is visible on what appears to be a shelf or desk. The scene suggests a formal deliberation or signing event.
