The Ranalo Foods restaurant popularly known as K’Osewe has been known over the years for being one of the go-to- restaurants and even a favorite place for politicians to have their meals at. The former Prime Minister is even a fan of the place.
The restaurant is owned by William Osewe who hails from Uyoma.

With the current situation of the pandemic, COVID-19, the restaurant hasn’t been getting customers the way they used to.
There’s hasn’t been an official statement released by the K’Osewe higher-ups so far.
K’Osewe is the first popular Restaurant in Nairobi to be a victim of COVID-19’s side effects of the economy.
Ever since they opened up shop a couple of years ago, K’Osewe has never closed their doors because the business has always been booming.
Other than the effects of COVID-19. Kosewe has been a downward spiral since Mr William Osewe was shot in Nairobi’s Kasarani estate in 2016.
Mr Osewe was shot in the stomach near Roasters along Thika Road following an argument with one of his friends.
According to reports, Mr Osewe and the attacker and his attacker Oywa Mboya had been spotted together taking lunch before they reportedly got into an argument over a woman.
It is at this point that Mboya, a licensed gun holder, shot the businessman thrice with one bullet exiting and injuring a security guard in the area.
The assailant later surrendered to police officers claiming that he was acting in self-defence since Mr Osewe had attacked him first.
