President Uhuru Kenyatta met his former History teacher at St Mary's School, 35 years after completing his secondary education.
President Uhuru enrolled at the prestigious American Amherst College thereafter in 1981, three years after the demise of his father, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta.
After completing his secondary education in 1979 from St Mary's School, Uhuru briefly worked as teller at Kenya Commercial Bank in Nairobi.
TV presenter Jeff Koinange, also a classmate of Uhuru, took to social media on Wednesday to celebrate the reunion of Mrs Zelia Pereira and Uhuru with two others at State House.
"Guess who got to meet his former History Teacher after more than 35 Years? That's right, the President himself! We had a great time and a good laugh!! Thanks, Mrs Pereira for molding us to be WHO we are today! @SaintMarysSchoo @StateHouseKenya @ZeliaPereira @xtiandela @HamoProf," wrote Koinange.
During his time in the US, multiple sources confirmed, Uhuru was a quiet student who interacted with few. He would later join business after graduation in 1985.
Amherst is a premium institution that attracts the sons and daughters of who-is-who from around the world.
In 1981, the year Mr Kenyatta joined, Albert Grimaldi, later to be crowned Prince Albert II of Monaco, was graduating with a degree in political science and economics.
“It was a small college with interesting people,” said Fredrick Shepherd, a classmate of Mr Kenyatta’s.
“I didn’t know that his father was a president until much later. He was quite unassuming and never played up those connections. But that was Amherst: the person who sat next to you was related to world events in ways you did not even imagine,” he said.
At St Mary's School where he was taught history by Ms Pereira, Uhuru also played rugby as part of extracurricular activity. He represented the school in national competitions.
