Kinoti Gatobu

Who is Kinoti Gatobu?

Boniface Kinoti Gatobu is a Kenyan politician who was elected as a member of the Kenyan Parliament in the 2013 parliamentary elections.

At 26, he is the youngest member of Kenya's 11th Parliament.

When he was just 23 and fresh out of the university, Boniface rejected three job offers, and the six-figure salaries that went with them to work in his Kibirichia Village as a primary school teacher on voluntary basis. This young man has achieved more than any Kenyan politician has done at this tender age despite his very humble background. His grandfather was a squatter. His father, Moses Gatobu, a secondary school teacher, went to a simple high school in Meru; and his mother, Agnes Kinya Gatobu, joined a diploma teacher training college after giving birth to Kinoti, leaving him in the care of his Aunt, Gladys Njiiru.
