KDRTV looks at four prominent figures who were once teachers before moving to other sectors.

The first lady is a teacher by profession but has never taught at any school. After graduation, she opted to remain home and raise her children while her husband President William Ruto was hustling. 

She studied at Likuyani Primary School, Kakamega County. She then proceeded to Butare Girls High School for her O and A levels before joining Kenyatta University for a Bachelor of Education Degree. The humble prayer warrior went on to earn her Master of Arts in 2011 at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa.

Mama Ida Odinga 

The wife of Azimio la Umoja One Kenya leader Raila Odinga was once a teacher and taught at Kenya High School, an all-girls public school located in Nairobi. Ida taught a number of successful women in Kenya including the late Governor of Bonnet County, Joyce Laboso.
