Where ‘Generali’ Ababu Namwamba, Retired General Ali marched

The Salvation Army came to Kenya courtesy of three salvationists during the building of the Uganda Railway in 1896.

Kenya was not even a country at the time, but a geographical entity known as British East Africa Protectorate.

The Salvation Army later established Kolanya Boys High school in 1934 on a 33-acre piece of land along Malakisi-Lwakhakha road in Teso, Busia County.

It was here that the currently embattled PAC chairman and Budalang’i MP, Ababu Namwamba, studied.

The school, whose performance was less than impressive in the earlier years, got a turn around when Daniel Ouma or ‘Buju’ as he was known by students, came in as principal in 2008. In fact, three years after his arrival, the school’s performance remarkably improved, and even produced its first A student, the top student in Busia.

Notable alumni include former Gem MP, Joe Donde and Anglican Archbishop, Eliud Wabukala.

Others who were guided by the motto ‘Knowledge is Power’ are Jared Peter Oloo Odhiambo of Kababii University, Prof William Wanjala of Masinde Muliro University, and former Police Commissioner, Major-General (rtd) Hussein Ali, who dropped out after the death of his father to take care of his four siblings.

Kolanya Boys has a sister school, Kolanya Girls, which was recently in the press after the Kenya National Examination Council admitted Ambrose Ikedi, a male student to the girls’ school!
