Fraternity eulogizes the fallen Gallant chief Principal
The Kisumu Boys High School has today greatly eulogized its
fallen Chief Principal in a requiem mass well attended by people from all walks
of life.
At the school’s play ground near the refurbished swimming
pool, a number of dignitaries thronged the place to bid farewell to Kisumu Boys
High School Chief Principal Peter Ouma Obuogo who passed on nearly three weeks
ago on February 12 this year at Aga Khan Hospital.
Led by the Acting Principal Eric Duya, President of Kisumu
Boys High School Alumni Foundation Lawyer James Mwamu and the Board of
Management Chairman Prof Charles Nyakiti among other dignitaries, the mourners eulogized
the fallen Chief Principal as a true icon who has passed on at the time he is
needed the most.

Lawyer James Mwamu said death has robbed the school a very good administrator, a
true hard worker and a performer to the core.
Mwamu says for the last three years he has worked with
Obuogo since his posting to the school in January 2019, he has greatly helped
in developing the school within a very short time.
Mwamu who has declared his interest to vie for the Kisumu East Parliamentary seat on ODM Party ticket says the school will surely miss the Chief Principal
whom he has described as a darling to many students, teachers, parents and the
subordinate staff.
“Truly, Kisumu Boys High School has lost a great man as the
Chief Principal Mr Peter Ouma Obuogo. It will take time to get one to fit into
its shoes since the gap he has left is very wide indeed,” Mwamu says.
Acting Principal Eric Duya who has been deputizing the late
Chief Principal has described his immediate former boss as a good listener who
always consulted on many issues with various cadres of people.
He has described as a very dedicated teacher who was always
an early riser and arriving to his office as early as 5:00 am and working late
up to midnight before he could retire to bed.
He says Obuogo was always for the school to get the best
even in terms of academic performance.
“Our Captain Mr Obuogo always wanted the school to be on top
of things including in academics hence this is a challenge to our this year’s
KCSE Candidates to work extra hard and achieve good academic performance in the
forthcoming exams. This will be in his honor,” he says.
He says they have worked the shortest time but he has
received the best experience from his former boss.
“I have never seen a man so consultative as Peter. Because
of this, we have moved this school in terms of correcting our Children on
matters of discipline. He has been a great man and a strict disciplinarian,”
Duya says.
Peter Obuogo, the Chief Principal of Kisumu Boys High school
{Now Kisumu School} died three weeks ago at Aga Khan after being admitted there
on February 8 this year.
He will be buried at his home in Matayos constituency in
Busia County on Saturday March 5 this year.
He was to retire from the teaching service last month and
was expected to declare his interest for the Matayos Parliamentary seat where
he would have participated in the General Election slated for August this year.
