Boniface Kinoti Gatobu is a Kenyan politician who was elected as a member of the Kenyan Parliament in the 2013 parliamentary elections.[2][3]
At 26, he is the youngest member of Kenya's 11th Parliament.[4] 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. His grandfather was a squatter. His father, Moses Gatobu, a secondary school teacher, went to a simple high school (Miathene) 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.
