Don't come home Ngugi: The letter I didn't write to Prof wa Thiong'o

A few months ago, Late Comrade Karemi Nduthu’s brother, also called Nduthu, based in the US where Ngugi has lived since he left Kenya, requested me to pen a few words in appreciation of Prof Ngugi wa Thiong’o and his contribution to society.

Nduthu was a member of the team of Kenyans abroad who may have known that the senior citizen may not recover from the ailment that troubled him.
