Deputy President (DP) Rigathi Gachagua’s longest serving Principal and friend Kano Ndumbi has died at 75 from a heart attack.
Ndumbi, who was a well-known educationist in Kirinyaga, Murang’a and the Eastern parts of Kenya, had been battling diabetes for a long time. It is suspected that the attack was caused by this disease.
He was Gachagua’s Principal at Kianyaga High School between 1978-1983 from Form 1 to Form 6.
With very close ties to the DP, Gachagua some time back wooed him to join the government, though he had been a staunch supporter of Narc-Kenya’s Martha Karua.
However, Gachagua gave him a job as the chairman of the group that was to renovate their former school.
During that event, Gachagua had jestingly introduced Ndumbi as a strict disciplinarian who could cane a student, including himself, for mistakes that were presumed will be done in future.
He died while receiving treatment.
