The late Ndingi Mwanaa Nzeki may have been diminutive in stature…but his gift of fighting for the downtrodden is legendary.
During the fight for Multi-Partyism in Kenya, the fiery priest took on then-President Daniel Arap Moi. And won.
He single-handedly fought masters of impunity in the form of Tribal and land clashes between 1991 and 1998…as the Catholic Bishop of Nakuru.
Ndingi flushed out alleged militia from a forest in Nakuru and caused the transfer of a PC who dared call Mwanaa Nzeki a liar.
The Cleric fight against injustice defied his humble background as a poor boy born in Mwala Location, in the current day Machakos County.
His death came at a time when the World is experiencing a lockdown…meaning that the retired Archbishop will be buried quietly by a small clique of his peers.
Ndingi was a mentor to many priests, including Father Wamugunda, Ndikaru Wa Teresia, among others. He is also said to have been very close to Nyeri Archbishop Anthony Muheria and Archbishop Martin Kivuva of Mombasa.
