In his life, Dr Karangu was a distinguished professor of economics, a beacon of hope, a father, a counselor, and a pillar in the community. Dr. Karangu immensely contributed to the welfare of the Kenyan community and other minority groups by reaching out materially, as a counselor, and as a mentor.
He championed personal responsibility of the youth and encouraged Kenyans in the Diaspora to take pride in their Kenyan heritage and challenged parents to teach children their mother tongue.
