Columnist Philip Ochieng' is an insincere language critic

I was reading Marjorie Oludhe Macgoye’s Coming to Birth when I first saw Philip Ochieng’s name. Since then, I have followed Ochieng’s work. What I didn’t realise was that he would degenerate into an insincere, biased language critic.

Although sometimes Mr Ochieng’ is right, I no longer respect his work for two major reasons. First, he presents himself as a serious language critic yet when you read his column, you wonder if a serious critic can only read one paper. Secondly, I encounter numerous errors in the paper he earns his living writing for.
