Summary: This is the story of the life and times of Bishop of Eldoret, Alexander Kipsang Muge, an Anglican bishop who preached against the practice of tribalism as found in the church hierarchy as well as the government. Born into the Kamelilo clan of Kalenjin tribe, reknown internationally for its athletic prowess as the running tribe, he refused to succumb to the expected initiation patterns of the clan. After his becoming a Christian, he directed some of his most vitriolic attacks on tribalism in the government of fellow Kalenjin president Daniel Arap Moi and the president’s powerful Kalenjin inner circle. On March 5, 2012, the former Special Branch Inspector James Lando Khwatenge testified that the August 14, 1990, a road accident in Busia that killed this outspoken bishop, was no accident but had been arranged by Special Branch to silence Alexander Muge in order to provide an example to political dissidents--www.dacb.org site, viewed May 15, 2013.
