His groundbreaking work earned him a nomination for Genius Laureate by the American Biographical Institute in 2006.

At 28, Koech co-founded the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) with Prof. Mutuma Mugambi in 1979, becoming its youngest director.

He led KEMRI for nearly 25 years, establishing it as a global leader in research, particularly in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

Safi sana. This war monger and thief thought atakufa na pesa ya pensioners yenye aliiba. I hope alikua India for treatment so it’d be easy to bury him in Pakistan where they’d defile his torso

if only he had directed all those resources in the field of Generic medicine. Kenya would’ve been a giant in pharmaceuticals.
Kemron, the Bullsh!t that Dr. Koech was making , was later debunked to be AZT, a failed cancer drug that was repurposed to manage HIV/AIDS.
AZT was toxic, and lead to premature death of it’s victims , due to liver failure.
Our number one enemy in .ke is EGO.
