Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Not soon after, Obuya joined the players' strike and left England to play club cricket for South Africa. However, he struggled with his form with the ball. He also travelled to Australia to train with spin-blowing coach Terry Jenner in 2005 but did not improve. Hence, he decided to concentrate full-time on developing his batting skills becoming a specialist batsman since then.
After a dismal performance in the 2011 World Cup, the then Kenyan captain Jimmy Kamande was replaced by Collins Obuya. Since then, he has led Kenya to several impressive victories.
In November 2013, Obuya was suspended for 2 matches following an altercation with team-mate Irfan Karim and Rakep Patel captained the team in his absence. Obuya later resigned from the post in December 2013 prompting Cricket Kenya to give the permanent job to Rakep Patel.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Collins Obuya hit the headlines as a legspinning allrounder in the 2003 World Cup during Kenya's astonishing march to the semi-finals, where he picked up 13 wickets at 28.76, including 5 for 24 in the victory over Sri Lanka at Nairobi. That won him a one-year contract with Warwickshire, but he failed to make any impression. He missed his next chance on the big stage when appendicitis ruled him out of the 2004 Champions Trophy, and he then joined the players' strike which followed before heading to South Africa to play club cricket. His continued to struggle with his bowling, and in November 2005 he went to Australia for five weeks to spend time with Terry Jenner in a bid to recapture it. That failed, and Obuya had to develop his batting and he now plays as a specialist batsman and a very good fielder.
