[kictanet] Tribute to Eng. Ochola

[Matunda Nyanchama]

Friends

This is a great loss to many, many of us that interacted with the late Tieni over a long period of time. And a great loss to the ICT sector in Kenya.

I have known this dynamic lady for many years since our days at the U of Nairobi. She was one of the few women that studied engineering when it was not fashionable for women to do so. Indeed, it was common to find one woman in a class of 30 which usually elicited various (I must add not so friendly) reactions. To survive in such environment for a women meant being tough, fending of stereotypes from both men and women, students, faculty and staff. 


I hope she kept good diaries (if not an autobiography) from which her story could  be gleaned as an inspiration to younger generations.

RIP.
