Under a Hickory tree somewhere near the equator, Rev. James Jamieson Willis of the Church Missionary Society (CMS) gathered his first learners and pointed upward.
"Which tree is this?" he asked.
They answered, "Ma Oseno."
This is Oseno. Luo word for the Hickory tree.
"Ma'seno?" he repeated. Reshaping it as it crossed his tongue.
And in that small moment of translation; half question, half mistake, Maseno was born.
That was 120 years ago.
Joined H.E. President @WilliamsRuto during the 120th anniversary celebrations of Maseno School held at the institution's grounds.
The colourful event brought together students, staff and key stakeholders to honour the school's enduring legacy and its long-standing contribution to our education sector.
