On Saturday, January 17 at about 2.30pm, Dr Ezekiel Alembi passed away at the Mater Hospital where he had been hospitalised three days before.
At the time of his death, Dr Alembi was a senior lecturer in the Department of Literature and the Director, Kenyatta University Radio Services. He was also the National Chairman, Kenya Schools and Colleges Drama Festival.
But what is important to this blog is that Dr Alembi was a great though humble writer and an inspiration to many in the publishing industry. He wrote over 40 children books, some of which I will review this year.
Go well Dr Alembi. We've lost a great story teller.
