Renowned freedom fighter Paul Joseph Ngei was not one to be described as a coward of Machakos County for he believed in picking his battles wisely and fighting them to the bitter end.

And his battles were many. At times he was a soldier of love, but he also spent considerable time and energy fighting for wealth and health.
