LIFE HISTORY OF MY FATHER NABOTH ONYANGO PAULO

The medical check up was carried out on him and it was discovered that, he sustained major injuries on his backbone and two days later, he was taken to Musoma regional hospital for further treatment. The doctors at Musoma hospital carried diagnosis whereby they recommended him for a major operation in one of the referral hospitals in the country. He was later flown to KCMC Hospital in Moshi. He stayed there for a couple of one month receiving treatment after a successful operation which was done by medical experts. But together with the treatment he had received, this couldn’t help and make him regain his strengths as before and instead he remained as a lame person without expectations. He couldn’t move around as all his legs were paralyzed, he looked like someone who suffers from poliomyelitis disease and remained bed-ridden for the rest of his life until his death.


My younger brother, Mr. Richard Onyango who for many years had been staying close to our father in the village explaining a point to the people about my father as I watched standing close to him waiting for my turn.

My mother Mrs Elisia Onyango who felt the pang of horror had been nursing the deceased for the last 25 years, also had time to give out her points and congratulations to the people who were close to my father unlit his death.

The cameraman took her from behind facing the congregation.
