The passing of Prof Bethwel Allan Ogot on January 30, 2025, caught many by surprise, although at 96 he was in a ripe age.
He had defied age and had remained the longest-serving emeritus professor in Kenya.
He outlived his wife Grace Ogot, who died on March 18, 2015.
Ogot still supervised many graduate students at Maseno University and spoke at a couple of events per year, and continued writing.
