The Honourable Paul Joseph Ngei (18 October 1923 – 15 August 2004) was a Kenyan politician who was imprisoned for his role in the anti-colonial movement, but who went on to hold several government ministerial positions after Kenya became independent.
The family moved from Kiima Kimwe to a new settlement at Kangundo Division in a small village called Mbilini in 1929.
Ngei's history generates much interest when examined within the context of these post-World War II protest politics that eventually ushered in independence for Kenya.
He came from the Akamba people of Kenya, who were the driving force behind a political protest against the British in 1937 led by Samuel Muindi Mbingu.
