Kenyan politicians’ kids and where they went to school.
Despite their crude behaviours in public, Kenyan politicians know the value of a good education behind closed doors. As such, they offer their children the best education that money can buy, and since money isn't a problem for some politicians in the country, they take their children to the best schools around the world. Here are some schools where politicians' kids attended.
Ngina Kenyatta
The first daughter has kept a low profile since her father became the president of the country. However, being a member of the first family has its perks. After finishing high school, she joined her brother, Jomo Kenyatta, at the prestigious Hilton College in South Africa, where she was an active student. She was part of a group of students who sang "Lift Your Hearts Up" and graduated with a degree in international relations and politics. She currently serves as a director at The Kenyatta Trust, offering mentorship and education to disadvantaged youth.
