President Ruto's heartwarming reunion with his teacher in Kamagut 15th January, 2024When President William Ruto arrived in Kamagut Primary School, Uasin Gishu County where his basic education started, he quickly spotted his former headteacher, Joseph Ndirangu. The 83-year-old, who retired in 1996, describes meeting his pupil who rose through political ranks to become President as ‘thrilling and nostalgic’. He receives numerous calls, which he says are from peers, friends, and alumni of Kamagut Primary School. Ndirangu, who served as Kamagut Primary School headteacher for three years from 1978 to 1980 says he did not expect Ruto to remember him after four decades. In primary school, Ndirangu recalls, Ruto was a charming pupil who actively took part in debates.
