He recently graduated as a second lieutenant from Kenya Military Academy.

Nyarangi is an engineer and his expertise will add value to the Kenya Air Force.

Jabez Kongo, Nyarangi’s uncle celebrated the achievement while highlighting the challenges his nephew went through.

“Dear Son Eng. Edwin Tom Nyarangi (Omollo). Today, I choose to celebrate you, the last-born son of our late brother Naftal Joma Nyarangi. Your journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Despite being left a total orphan at a very young age, your resilience and determination have brought you to where you are today. You have truly defied all odds, and for that, we are immensely proud of you,”

Indeed, God’s time is always the best, and your story is a testament to that. As you join the Kenya Air Force family officially today, we know you will serve our nation with humility, honesty, and dedication, just as you always have.” Kondo said.

Kongo added that they are behind Nyarangi and are proud and inspired by his achievements.
