Prof. Miriam Khamadi Were- a medical doctor, public health specialist and teacher. [Wilberforce Okwiri, Standard]
Prof Miriam Were made believers out of many doubting Thomases in her day. And the naysayers were many.
Despite having so many notches on her belt, Prof Miriam Were is a lot humbler than I imagined. The 80-year-old is a professor, medical doctor and former Moi University chancellor. These are only a few of the numerous roles she has held.
When she meets me at her gate, she is all smiles. Dressed in her signature African print dress with a matching head wrap, she is incredibly warm, which I realise is a family trait when I meet her daughter, Evelyn, in the sitting room.
