A Kenyan man who was believed to be the world's oldest pupil has died at the age of 89, five years after he entered primary school so that he could learn to read the Bible, his family said Monday.
Joseph Stephen Kimani Nganga (un-GAH-un-GAH) Maruge (ma-ROO-gay) died Friday at the Kariobangi Cheshire Home for the aged in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. He died of stomach cancer, said his granddaughter, Anne Maruge.
Maruge accomplished his biggest goal — being able to read the Bible — but he remained shy of completing primary school.
"In the morning he used to wake up early to read the Bible before going to school," Anne Maruge, 18, told The Associated Press. "Even when he fell ill and you found him basking in the sun, often he would be reading the Bible."
Maruge enrolled in primary school in the western Kenya town of Eldoret in January 2004 after the government decided to make primary school free. He wore a school boy's uniform — shorts, sweater and long socks — and walked to class hunched over with the aid of a cane and holding a book bag.
The Guinness Book of World Records listed Maruge as the world's oldest primary school pupil.
Survived by four children, 19 grandchildren and one great-grandchild, Maruge overcame great odds to attend school. All his belongings were stolen from his home in the Rift Valley during Kenya's bloody postelection violence in early 2008, forcing him to flee and live in a displacement camp with thousands of others who lost their homes in the bloodshed.
He continued his studies despite the living conditions, and the Red Cross moved him into the old-age home in May 2008, Anne Maruge said. He stopped attending classes in January because of his illness.
"When he became ill, he started to cry because he was not going to go to school," Anne Maruge said.
Maruge went to New York in 2005 to promote a global campaign to get more children into schools.
"Liberty means going to school and learning," he said in an interview at that time. "You are never too old to learn."

Ex-Zambian leader acquitted of corruption charges

A magistrate acquitted former Zambian President Frederick Chiluba of corruption charges Monday after a six-year trial in a ruling that overjoyed his supporters but frustrated clean-government campaigners in Africa.
Chiluba, 63, was accused of diverting nearly $500,000 of state money into accounts to pay for an extravagant lifestyle when he served as Zambia's first democratically elected leader from 1991 to 2001. The judge ruled that the funds could not be traced to government coffers.
About 150 supporters in the courtroom broke into applause even before Magistrate Jones Chinyama finished reading the handwritten, 3,400-word verdict.
"After studying the evidence presented to this court, I'm left with no doubt that the prosecution failed to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt," Chinyama said.
Chiluba smiled and hugged his wife and other family members, then walked from the courthouse to his black Mercedes-Benz as his supporters ran after him, singing and dancing.
"I want to thank the people of Zambia for their friendship, for they have never called me a thief," Chiluba said in an interview at his home with Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation.
Two co-defendants, former executives of a financial services company, were found guilty of receiving stolen money from the Zambian intelligence services. They both were sentenced to five years in jail.
The United States had supported the trial and wider efforts across Africa to combat corruption. U.S. Ambassador to Zambia Donald E. Booth said Monday the trial itself was important.
"The fact that former President Chiluba was brought to trial in Zambia for corruption shows that no one is above scrutiny," Booth said Monday.
But Auwal Musa Rafsanjani, a pro-democracy and anti-corruption campaigner in Nigeria, said he had anticipated a guilty verdict for the former president because several people close to Chiluba — including his wife — were convicted earlier on related charges.
Rafsanjani said the verdict was "quite frustrating," and underscores how investigators and prosecutors in impoverished African countries often can't compete with the legal firepower marshaled by wealthy leaders accused of corruption.
"It's a big concern for us in Africa, and that's one of the reasons why corrupt leaders are hardly (ever) punished," Rafsanjani said. "That's the way it goes in many places in Africa. You just buy justice. That's why many people have lost faith in courts in Africa."
Goodwell Lungu, head of the Zambia office of the corruption watchdog Transparency International, also called the verdict a surprise and expressed hope that the state would appeal.
The prosecution "should not lose hope in the fight against corruption. Such setbacks in the fight against corruption are to be expected," he said.
Chiluba had faced up 15 years in jail. He had claimed to be the victim of a political witch hunt backed by Britain, Zambia's former colonial rulers.
In March Chiluba's wife, Regina, was convicted of receiving $300,000 in cash and goods that prosecutors said the former president stole from his official residence. She was sentenced to 3 1/2 years' hard labor and is free pending an appeal.
Britain's Foreign Office said Monday that the British government did not directly fund the investigation into Chiluba's finances, but has funded wider corruption-fighting projects.
In a statement the British government said it had followed Chiluba's prosecution "with great interest" and would study the judgment.
"More broadly the U.K. government looks forward to the continuing commitment by the government of Zambia and the president to fighting corruption," the statement said.
A leading Kenyan anti-graft campaigner, John Githongo, praised the authorities in Zambia "for making this effort while knowing its challenges."
"A small country undertaking a multi-jurisdictional case like this is important in and of itself," Githongo said.
But Zambia needed help. When proceedings began in 2003, its courts were not equipped to handle the large volume of documents and evidence. Court transcription was still done by longhand. The U.S. Treasury Department provided technical assistance and other donor nations also helped.
Chiluba's prosecution was part of an anti-corruption campaign pushed by the late President Levy Mwanawasa, once Chiluba's protege. Mwanawasa, 59, died last year after a stroke.
Under Mwanawasa, a stream of Chiluba's close political, military and business aides either have been sent to jail or are awaiting sentencing for abuse of office and theft.
Zambian prosecutors had contended that Chiluba diverted nearly $500,000 in public money, intended for debt servicing, into a fund from which he paid his children's school fees and legal costs incurred during his re-election in 1996.
A former trade unionist, Chiluba helped force an end to 27 years of one-party rule under Zambia's first president, Kenneth Kaunda, in 1991 and became the country's first democratically elected president.
Chiluba named Mwanawasa his vice president after his 1991 victory. Mwanawasa soon quit the post, complaining of corruption.
Zambian prosecutors won a major victory in 2007 in a London High Court civil case, when Judge Peter Smith ruled that Chiluba — who refused to attend the proceedings — was guilty of stealing $46 million from Zambian state coffers during his 10 years in office.
Zambian prosecutors had pursued the case in British courts because some of the money was allegedly laundered through British banks.
Smith ordered Chiluba to pay back 85 percent of the money, and in his ruling painted a picture of a decadent ruler who spent taxpayer funds on expensive suits and shoes while most Zambians lived in poverty. Chiluba has appealed and has not made any repayments.
The British government noted that the High Court decision against Chiluba was in the process of being registered in Zambia for enforcement.
