Alexander Muge

Alexander Kipsang Muge (1948–1990) was an Anglican bishop in Kenya: he was Bishop of Eldoret from 1983 until his death in 1990. Muge was born in 1948 and educated at St. Philip's, Maseno. He was ordained deacon in 1975 and priest in 1976. He served at St. Stephen, Nairobi and then at All Saints' Cathedral, Nairobi. Muge became a critic of Daniel arap Moi and advocated for civil rights in Kenya. His death in a car accident is widely regarded as suspicious. Early life Alexander Kipsang Muge was born in March of 1948 to Anna Chepkoskei who went by the moniker “the woman of the dusty roads.” (A moniker born from her efforts of fetching firewood for her children) Born into the Kamelilo Clan, Kipsang was known to refuse the common traditions of his clan and would often abstain from ceremonies as a child, much to the astonishment of the clan elders. This refusal remains a mystery in light of his lack of Christian faith at the time.
