Transition: Phillip Ochieng

[Mwalimu-G]

The veteran journalist. Par NTV after a bout of pneumonia while at his Migori home.

 

[Anglututu]

A thread exists, exactly one before this.

 

[Okiya]

RIP

 

[Field Marshal]

Oh, crap! Fair thee well Philip. You will be greatly missed.

 

[Field Marshal]

When he was the editor-in-chief of the defunct Kenya Times, Philip had a reputation for having a taste for fine scotch. He could knock off a few tots in his office and still see the daily out.

Damn fine guy. I don't think they make them like that any more.

 

[Ubongo]

Good articles he wrote..

 

[mzeiya]

Legend that one. RIP

 

[upepo]

Kanu = Kenya Times = Sycophants = Rejects =Scum

 

[Kasaman]

Oh, crap! Fair thee well Philip. You will be greatly missed.

Farewell Mwalimu

 

[is.mundu]

He had his way with the Queen's lingo!!

 

[Field Marshal]

One of the few Njaruos who did not think much of Babuon. Of course it matters that he was an alumni of AHS, class of '58. Just slightly ahead of me........

 

[The.Black.Templar]

what does it say when the legacy you leave behind is just your work and epic drinking? just asking btw.

I have read somewhere that inorder for him to do his work, he had to be closed somewhere in a room with crates full of beer until he delivered on his tasks.

Anyway, he seemed like a great man

Rubbish. Do not disparage a great man if you don't know him. There's a difference between loving fine scotch and being a drunkard.
