Kenyan Lawyer Who Walked 16km to School After Growing Up in Kibra Now Holds 8 Degrees

Dr Brian Mutie grew up in Kibra slums before his family relocated to their rural home in Makueni County because of financial difficulties. Despite the hardships, he remained determined to pursue education as his way out of poverty.

Mutie was raised by a single mother and was the fourth-born in a family of five children. While attending Mung’eli Primary School in Kaiti Constituency, he and his siblings walked 16 kilometres daily to get an education.

After completing his KCSE in 1997, he spent 12 years struggling to raise money for university education. During this period, he worked as a DJ at Mbaitu FM.

In 2008, he finally joined Daystar University, where he pursued a Bachelor of Arts degree in Peace and Conflict Transformation. He later enrolled at the University of Nairobi for a Bachelor of Laws degree.

His academic journey has since seen him acquire eight degrees, including master’s qualifications and a PhD in Governance and Leadership from JKUAT. He is also pursuing another PhD in Law at the University of Nairobi.

In an interview on Young Millionaire Talks, Mutie revealed that he made his first million between the ages of 24 and 25.
