Former Maseno University Vice Chancellor Prof.Fredrick Onyango recently wept during elections at Nyanza Club when a group he was backing for the club’s leadership were trounced by agroup which had a backing of Asian businessmen within the town.
Onyango could not believe his ears and eyes when his blue eyed boy Tobias See was trounced by the popular Ochieng Ajulu in elections the Asians had vowed to teach the former VC a lesson after he had allegedly threatened them with evictions if they could not elect persons associated with them.
After the elections the former VC headed to the club’s washrooms which is near the swimming pool where he cried with mucus oozing from his nose lamenting what he will do as his men had lost the elections.
“Pesa ga te mag pension odhi e yieroni ma oyombe joga kara ne gin mana conmen” (all my pension money has gone to elections supporting this men so they were just conmen?”) He wept .
Attempts by the man who was defeated by Ajulu to cool him failed miserably as Onyango told him that he should prepare a rope for both of them to hang themselves on as the Kenya Revenue Authority would be shortly after them.
“This former VC was a very arrogant man, we just wanted to teach him a lesson he will never forget, he should respect people and cease having such a contemptuous attitude” the businessmen celebrated.
After the elections and his weeping stopped, Onyango is said to have driven at a top speed in is jalopy pick he grabbed from Maseno University heading to his Milimani home.
I find Leo Odera Omollo to have been extremely malicious to Prof. Onyango Ngao. It is worth noting that, most of Luo scholars, of Prof Onyango’s era, set themselves into a cademic class of their own. They respected knowledge but not wealth, They cherished the reputation of the academical schools, they went through.Many were never corrupt. I major fundraising; many of them would donate 1000 maximum, at use their time on their academic achievements. Converting their vast knowledge to wealth is what the late Oyugi Ogango kept advising these lot.
