The late Bishop Alexander Kipsang’ Muge of the Anglican Church of Kenya, Diocese of Eldoret, made a remarkable contribution to the struggle for social justice in Kenya in the 1980s. However, his early life has not been adequately studied and documented, hence the need for the present study. The Objective of thisarticle was to analyze the Rt. Rev. Alexander Kipsang’ Muge’s early life. Knowledge on Muge’s contribution to the making of Kenya’s history as well as being one of the architects of the struggle for democracy in Kenya, underlie the significance and justification of the study. Data was collected from both primary and secondary sources. Archival and oral sources were significant in generating data. Purposive sampling, especially the snowball technique was used to identify interviewees. Analysis and interpretation of data employed the historical method. The findings of the study fill a knowledge gap about the history of the Rt. Rev. Bishop Alexander Kipsang’ Muge’s early life.
