Who is Bethwell A Ogot?

Bethwell Allan Ogot is a historian from Kenya. He specialises in African history, research methods and theory. One of his works starts by saying that "to tell the story of a past so as to portray an inevitable destiny is for humankind, a need as universal as tool making. To that extent, we may say that a human being is, by nature, historicus. Kiboyye Okoth-Yogo who writes on subjugationism as theory of legal history also proffers a critical analysis of his authorship that touches on the pacification of the African as colonial and the post colonial reality.

He was the Chancellor of Moi Universityup to early 2013.
