Chief Owour Kembo has only one wife Akoko,and they have three children,Obura, Nyabera and Owang Sino. This family although very small,".......the standards of time ,it is a close knit family,with the father standing resolutely between the world and his little band that everyone so longed to enlarge.''
The parents are very proud of their son Obura and have to restrain from talking about his amazing character.Their hearts smell with pride .They however spare no effort in ensuring that he grows up well disciplined .In fact they reprimand him more than any other child.
Owour Kembo and his wife Akoko relate very well and chief makes a habit of seeking advise from his wife. Owour " treated his wife like a queen and she did not fail him." Otieno Kembo on the other hand has a large but unhappy family.He marries four wives and begets eighteen children.The wives are described as 'shiftless'.
Otieno becomes dependent on his brother.And even though he has four wives,he desires his brothers's wife who seems to get younger every year instead of older. Otieno is said to treat his wives like sluts and they do not fail him.
Otieno is hated by his people and they are happy to inform the colonial administration of his many misdeeds.Of his many shortcomings,his worst is greed that causes him to steal not only his late brother's property but also his sister- in -laws personal wealth.
