After retiring from active political career that spanned more than three decades, former Cabinet Minister and Tinderet MP Henry Kiprono Kosgey turned to his passion, books.
Had he chosen to retire to Lelwak village in Nandi County, perhaps the veteran politician could not have attained the feat of joining the club of Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD) holders.
Kosgey chose to pursue leadership management in a theological university after he quit active politics following unsuccessful senatorial and governorship bids in Nandi in 2013 and 2017 elections respectively.
“Now that I found time away from the busy schedule I had in politics, I focused on what I like – reading books. I am grateful to God for the good lifestyle that allowed me to concentrate on studies,” he said.
Kosgey was determined to complete his academic journey, 48 years after obtaining a Bsc (Chemistry) from the University of Nairobi in 1972, then University College of East Africa.
