Dk Muterea afariki dunia



DK Absalom Mutere amezikwa leo mchana katika makaburi ya huko Musanda, Mumias, Kakamega Kenya. Alifariki ghafla akiwa safarini nchini Zambia ambako alikwenda kwaajili ya masuala yake ya kitaaluma. Dk ay Profesa Mutere ninamkumbuka sana kwa staili yake ya ufundishaji na kwa nondo zake alizotupatia katika Chuo Kikuu cha Mtakatifu Augustino hasa darasa la Masters 2009.
Hakika fani ya mawasiliano ya Umma imepoteza gwiji lake ambaye alikuwa ni mtu asiyekuwa na mikwara na wala kinyongo hata kidogo, kufundisha kwake ilikuwa kama ni maji asipokunywa anakuwa na kiu.
