    "content": "late Professor Ngugi wa Thiong'o. That happened the following day, which was extremely good because Kenyans were able to recollect the lives and times of the late Professor Ngugi wa Thiong'o. When Ngugi wa Thiong’o left The Alliance High School, he went to Makerere University, where he met the late former President Mwai Kibaki, who was supposed to be his lecturer. The late former President Kibaki advised him to pursue literature or Bachelor of Arts in English, as it was called then, because he was not very good in Mathematics and Economics but he was extremely good in the written word. He had the gift of the gab. We encourage our learners today, especially those in school, to not only read the works of the late Ngugi wa Thiong'o but to also take cue from him. Take time to acquire writing skills so that we produce many more Ngugi wa Thiong'o who will tower in Africa like Chinua Achebe and the rest in terms of writing. Today we eulogise a great man of the Republic of Kenya, the late Ngugi wa Thiong'o. May his soul rest in eternal peace."
