Bethwell Allan Ogot (born 3 August 1929) is a Kenyan historian and eminent African scholar who specialises in African history, research methods and theory. One of his works starts by saying that "to tell the story of a past so as to portray an inevitable destiny is, for humankind, a need as universal as tool-making. To that extent, we may say that a human being is, by nature, historicus.[2]
Ogot was the Chancellor of Moi University up to early 2013.[3]
