Earning the title professor requires focus and hard work.
It is not common to find more than three professors who come from the same family. However, a family in Tharaka Nithi has beaten all odds to have five siblings achieve this prestigious status.The family of Tharaka Nithi Senator Prof Kithure Kindiki has produced five professors. The Jubilee Senator has four brothers who are all professors. Kindiki, who is the fifth born in the family of nine, holds a PhD in Law from the University of Pretoria in South Africa (SA).His elder brother, Prof Jonah Nyaga Kindiki is a Dean of the Faculty of Education at Moi University. He studied International Education and Policy. Prof Isaiah Iguna Kindiki who studied Soil Physics, is a Research Professor at the University of Venda and an Extraordinaire Professor at the University of South Africa. He is also the NASA Tharaka Nithi campaign coordinator.Prof Stephen Kithinji Kindiki is a Professor of Linguistics at Daystar University while his brother Moses Mpuria Kindiki is a professor at Maasai Mara University where he teaches Political Economy. It is worth noting that the Senator’s other four siblings are all Master’s degree holders and are working towards acquiring their PhDs.The family’s success can be attributed to their father, Rev (RTD) Daniel Kindiki who rose from abject poverty to ensure his children receive quality education.
