Peter Njenga: The bold, bruised bishop
Anglican Bishop Emeritus Peter Njenga who holds the record of the longest serving provost at the All Saints Cathedral has been described as ‘The Iron Bishop’ with nine lives in his book set to be launched on Thursday evening at the cathedral. The retired bishop is best remembered for housing the 18 women who championed the release of political prisoners movement as they camped at the all saints cathedral for 11 straight months until government released their sons and husbands from detention.

As a result, there are informal curfews in various areas, which even residents are putting in place themselves. Our Western Region Bureau Chief Ouko Okusah tells of the terror through the voices and experiences of the bereaved, survivors, residents, a police informer and the administration.
November 17, 2024Soon after the advent of devolution in 2013, Baringo county embarked on construction of health facilities in far flung areas, to address medical needs of residents in remote areas. But due to failure to recruit and deploy staff to run the facilities, more than 50 health centres built between 2013 and 2022, have been lying idle for years, some even being used as maize stores, leaving locals suffering even further.
