Ngugi Wa Thiong'o To Receive First Honourary Degree At Home

For many years the author has been tipped to win the Nobel Prize for literature Getty Images
Renowned African literary giant Ngugi Wa Thiong'o will receive his first honorary doctorate degree from a Kenyan University today.
 BBC Africa Live report continues:
The US-based Kenyan writer has already received 10 honorary degrees from top universities across the world.
But he said that this was extra special "because it's an honour from home".
Even Nairobi University, where he was once a lecturer, hasn't given him an honourary degree yet. 

Instead the first Kenyan university to give him the honour is the business college KCA University.
