The Standard e-Paper
Informed Minds Prefer The Standard
The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
In his abridged version of the book, Descent from Cherang’any Hills: Memoirs of a Reluctant Academic, Ambassador Benjamin Kipkorir details the origins and intrigues of local government in Kenya. Calling it Sirikwa County, the chapter details the centralisation of power, and the consequences of such policies.
I took up appointment as Deputy County Clerk with Sirikwa County Council at its HQ in Eldoret on 25th March 1965, a few days after my final undergraduate exams at Makerere. A year and half later I left the position to pursue postgraduate studies at Cambridge and venture into new pastures.
