It now emerges that Kisumu Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o falls in the league of people who grew up with trouble of accepting that death is inevitable, and will at some point catch up with each of us.
The fear, he says in one of his articles published on the Standard in 2013, is something he has lived with throughout his life, though he has since learned to live with the fact that it is there.
Nyong’o reveals that he feared demise ‘as hell’ during his young days, a situation that was worsened by his parents who tried as much as they could to conceal the facts that come with the same.
‘’When I was a child I feared death like hell. I still fear death but I have come to confront and live with it more often, hence my level of fear has gone down by some recognizable percentage,’’ reads the article.
Though he is now slowly coming to terms that death remains inevitable, the good Professor is against inflicted death, either by police or any other person.
In the article, he advocates for the need for the same to only emerge from natural causes, terming it wrong for any person to take the other’s life on whichever grounds.
''Now I’m no longer a child, and I have systematically been shocked as I grow older how cheap human life has become. The police shoot suspected criminals with absolutely no sense of guilt,'' he says.
