In Mitty, we had a friend

KUPPET Secretary-General, Akelo Misori. [File, Standard]

It is with deep sorrow that I received the news of Shadrack Mitty's death on Wednesday afternoon.

Mitty was such a fine man and journalist. While I was mainly a news source to him, our relationship was one of partnership and friendship. Listening to him always filled me with hope. Mitty not only knew that a better Kenya was possible, but he yearned and worked for it. He had reported on education matters for so long that he had become a walking encyclopedia of the people and issues in the sector.
