A lot has been written about Ngugi Wa Thiong’o since he departed this world. Prof Ngugi was a social colossus, and many generations have gotten succour through his emotional and social intelligences.
I first met Ngugi, figuratively, as a young lad in Kolanya Boys High School, Busia. As a Form One student, it was my first time to visit a library. All types of books relevant to secondary school students and more, were available. The library was opened throughout the day except on Sunday morning. There was no better place to pass time than in the library.
