LIFE HISTORY OF MY FATHER NABOTH ONYANGO PAULO

Because of the situation that continued to harass his every day’s life, he had lost the ability to work any more and instead, in November 1989 a panelists of medical practitioners of Mara region passed a resolution for his fate. They all unanimously decided to terminate his services for his mutual benefits. Because of this, so his services were terminated according to the law as it applies to anybody who is unable to work due to illness, therefore he deserved all the terminal benefits as required for his age moreover had arrived. My father was officially retired at the age of 54 years. This was not the official retirement age for a civil servant, but it could never be avoided as his situation had suggested, he still had other six years to work in civil service, but he aught to accept with the decision by the panelists owing to the situation he had fallen.

I took a microphone and surged forward giving a brief statement about my father’s life history

The cameraman took this photo from behind facing the congregation.

When I finished my turn, the microphone was handed over to Pastor Marwa who spoke on behalf of others who are seated clad in their religious robes.

This is my mother who can be seen paying her last respects.
