Interesting people: Faruz Hassan Njohole, and George Mwambeta



The man on the right of the picture is a son of the former chiefu Hassani Njohole, who had supported the medical work of the mission back in colonial times. Faruz Njohole had been posted as a sub-chief in Lupiro and was elected, after independence, to serve as a local administrator by the people in Lupiro.

The man to the left of Njohole is George Mwambeta, who moderated my meeting with Njohole. He has been working with the entomology unit at STIFL in former years and has done field researcher for many researchers here in the area, amongst them Jamie Monson. A thank you goes to Jamie, who has been linking me up with George.
