Ongoya explained that his decision to pursue a career in law was not an accident, and that his father attempted to persuade him otherwise.
“That I am a lawyer is no accident of history. My father, never wanted me to be a lawyer. My father took me to the joint admission board (JAB), the predecessor to KUCCPS, to change my plans, and fate intervened. I didn’t change it. I still went back to study law. So the choice of law as a career was mine was deliberate,” Ongoya stated.
The lawyer sent a strong message against shortcuts in the profession, arguing for a methodical approach to career advancement.

Just take the staircase up the ladder, very deliberate, very measured and often times stooping low to jump, very high,” he told the law students.
