Kenyan Catholic priest on death row speaks

Catholic priest Waqo Guyo, who was sentenced to death for the murder of Isiolo Catholic Bishop Luigi Locati.

A Catholic priest on death row is what they call you out there. Father, kindly tell us about your journey to priesthood
I am 57 years old today, but back in the day, when I was a young boy growing up in Isiolo, I was so influenced by the life of a foreign missionary priest called Father Pio Bono who was the first missionary in my village. One day, I asked Father Bono whether I could also be a priest. He said yes and gradually guided me as a young boy, took me to the seminary and that is how I ended up being a priest.

I went to Gregorian University for my Masters in Philosophy and the London University in 1999 for my PhD in Philosophy. I have worked in parishes in Italy and London where I was attached for pastoral work during my studies.
