Archbishop Emeritus John Njenga, who died on Sunday, was destined to be a man of letters, but opted to take the line of the Word.

Njenga was a man of many firsts. He was the first indigenous priest for Nairobi archdiocese, first Catholic priest from Kiambu District and the first African bishop for Eldoret Diocese.
