His resolve to open the facility began when he was 25 years old, working as an intern at a public hospital in central Kenya.

It was during that time that he encountered firsthand the challenges plaguing Kenya’s healthcare system, such as frequent power outages and shortages of key medical supplies.

Okoth’s eureka moment happened one day as he was doing his rounds in the hospital’s theatre.

“While working as an intern, I saw a gap in the area of access and provision of affordable health care, and that’s when this dream started. There was a huge health need in the country that needed to be fixed, especially in maternal and child health care,” he said.

After graduating with a degree in medicine fom the University of Nairobi in 2010, Okoth decided to venture into the healthcare business, settling on Ruai as his area of operation.

Ruai was a prime location because it had a shortage of professionally run healthcare facilities, meaning the competition was minimal.

Despite his young age, Okoth was already a seasoned entrepreneur, having been involved in developing Kenya’s first e-commerce platform known as mkopa.co.ke during his university days.

He opened the doors of Ruai Hospital on September 11, 2011, using a KSh 300,000 loan he had taken from his mother’s retirement funds.

The first people he hired were a lab technician and a clinical officer.

He used his salary as a doctor at the district hospital to pay their salaries and meet his hospital’s day-to-day costs before the business became profitable.

“I was paying the employees, including rent and buying clinic supplies from my pocket, and as an intern, I was just being paid 48,000 shillings,” said Okoth, who hails from Homa Bay County.

In 2012, his business was severely affected after he was transferred to the Nyeri Provincial Hospital, which is located 150 km away from Nairobi.

In December that year, he was travelling from Nyeri to visit his facility when he was involved in a gruesome road accident that left his car damaged beyond repair.

Insurance paid him KSh 600,000 as compensation, which Okoth decided to invest in his business. He used the money to make a down payment for an X-ray machine, an ultrasound machine, and other theatre equipment.

The equipment was worth about ksh 4 million, and the terms of purchase were that he would fork out Ksh 232,000 in monthly loan repayments.

“I had no idea where I was going to get the money. I only had faith that things would work out in my favour,” he explained.

He hoped that with the new equipment he could attract patients who were visiting the nearby under-equipped public hospital.

Unfortunately, things did not work out as he expected, and he was forced to take a bank loan to find the money for his first repayment.

However, when he found time to visit his clinic and conduct a proper audit of his books, he was surprised to learn that his staff had been sabotaging his business.

They had been reporting an average of six patients daily, but Okoth served 20 patients on the first day that he spent at the clinic.

“So I fired all of them,” he said. ” This was like a rebirth of Ruai Family Hospital. It’s always dark before dawn,” he said.

In June 2014, he received a loan of ksh 8 million from the government-run Youth Development Enterprise Fund (YDEF), which he used to boost his business.

He relocated the clinic to an imposing modern three-story building in Ruai town and quickly became the largest private healthcare facility in the area.

By then, the hospital had 40 beds and had employed 12 permanent employees, with Okoth even affording to hire top doctors when needed.

The hospital served about 60 patients daily and was even listed with all major insurance facilities in the country, including the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF).

In 2017, Okoth bought land in Ruai and began building a landmark hospital in 2019.

On completion, he named the 100-bed facility the RSF Family Hospital, preserving the ‘DNA’ of his first business.

Today, Ruai Family Hospital operates 11 branches across Nairobi and other towns such as Ruiru, Imara Daima, and Kiambu Road.

The school, which was founded in 2009, provides free tuition, reading materials, uniforms, and food to economically disadvantaged girls who hail from the slums of Kibera and Mathare.

It was the first institution of its kind to offer free educational opportunities in the area, where many households live in abject poverty.

This is their journey as told by WoK:

The idea to start the school came in the mid-2000s, when Jessica, who was living in the US state of Denver, decided to relocate to Kenya for her studies at the School for International Training.

“I wanted to go abroad and do something different, so I found a programme at the School for International Training… I applied and then found myself in Kenya,” said Jessica in a past interview with Nation.

At first, her parents thought that she must have lost her marbles when she told them that she would pursue her studies in Kenya.

Her grandparents also thought that she was making the wrong choice and begged her parents not to let her go.

However, Jessica’s headstrong nature prevailed, and she relocated to Nairobi. Rather than living in posh estates like Runda and Kilimani, like so many Americans who live in Kenya, she decided to settle in the slums of Kibera.

She met Kennedy in Nairobi, and the two quickly became friends and later fell in love.

Kennedy, who grew up in the slums, tried to convince her that she would not survive Kibera’s volatile nature for more than a few nights and begged her to settle somewhere else, but she refused.

She stated that she felt attracted to Kibera’s vibrancy and sense of community.

In 2009, Jessica convinced Kennedy of her idea to help Kibera girls get access to quality education. Seeing the validity of her vision, he supported her in co-founding the Kibera School of Girls.

The institution quickly took shape and went on to become one of the best schools in the area.

In 2022, the school facilitated a class of 21 pupils to sit for their KCPE exams, under the now-phased-out 8-4-4 curriculum. 18 of the students scored between 300 and 399 marks out of the possible 500.

Jessica stated that her mission is to free as many girls as she can from the shackles of poverty by providing them with free educational opportunities.

“Tomorrow, our girls will become the next generation of leaders, disrupting the systems that hold poverty in place,” she said.

Together with Kennedy, she also co-founded a non-governmental organization (NGO) called Shining Hope for Communities (Shofco), which runs various community programs in sectors such as healthcare, education, and sanitation.

The organization is also involved in the provision of economic empowerment schemes, community newspapers, and women’s and youth empowerment projects.

In 2010, Jessica was awarded the prestigious VH1 Do Something Grand Prize for Top World Changer.

The award was in recognition of her efforts to promote free education opportunities for girls in Kibera as well as serving the slum community through Shofco.

Her hope is that the girls she supports will have better futures and opportunities to transform their communities.

He is a veteran publisher and author of over 100 textbooks and revision guides, a business he has been doing for the past 50 years.

His books span various subjects, including English, Mathematics and Social Studies.

Many of those who sat for KCPE exams have encountered his revision guides at one point or another, especially the bulky KCPE Encyclopaedia.

This is his journey as told by WoK:

Singh was born in Punjab, India, in 1938. He relocated to Kenya in the 1950s, and a year later he started his teaching career at Nairobi Technical High School, known today as the Nairobi National Polytechnic.

There, he taught Maths, Literature, History, and English. This experience may have been the major driving force behind his ability to write books on almost all examinable subjects under the 8-4-4 curriculum.

Singh started writing while he was still teaching. During the early years of his career, he wrote and published three books.

It was at this point that he decided to join the University of Nairobi to advance his education with a master’s degree and later a PhD.

However, a chance meeting with veteran Author Ngugi wa Thiong’o convinced him that he could make more money as a writer than he could ever make as a teacher of literature.

And Singh took the advice seriously.

By the late 1960s, he was gradually shifting from his classroom duties, focusing instead on creating revision guides and other structured learning materials.  At the time, he was teaching English at Eastleigh High School.

In 1975, as the Kenyan government introduced new reforms to incorporate more learners into the country’s education system, Singh quit teaching to focus full-time on writing.

When the 8-4-4 education system became established in Kenya, Singh found a strong market for his books. His revision guides soon filled the shelves of libraries, schools and bookshops across the country.

The idea of writing the KCPE encyclopedia was born out of a personal pain point. “As an African parent, I used to find it frustrating that I had to buy six or seven revision books. I decided that it should be better to combine all these books under one cover and call it the KCPE national exam encyclopedia,” he said.

The book became an instant hit, with orders flying in thick and fast. That became one of the most glorious moments of his career, with his book circulating to every corner of the country.

In 2016, Longhorn Publishers bought 43 of his titles, with a combined market value of sh 83 million, fulfilling Ngugi’s prophecy that he could make more money as a writer than as a teacher.

Reports suggest that Singh, who is a regular patron of Parklands Sports Club, buys a new car every two years, with all their number plates ending with -844.

Rumour also has it that most of his cars are shipped from Korea by Sang Yong.

Throughout his 50-year career as an author, Singh has penned his books on the same table and chair that he used when he wrote his first book.

He was recently inducted into the Kenya Publishers Association Hall of Fame, in an event that was held during the official grand opening of the Nairobi International Book Fair.

You may remember him from his stint at Nation FM (formerly QFM/Easy FM), where he co-hosted the popular drive-time program “Homerun” alongside Oga Obinna and Dr. Cupid.

He has also worked with other stations, including Urban Radio and Radio Generation.

In a recent interview on the Kisingani podcast, Oduor shared his past struggle with drug addiction and how it almost ended his radio career.

Living a fast life

Oduor said his life began going downhill when he started using drugs such as cocaine.

Although these drugs were expensive, he was earning enough money to support the habit.

“At that time, my radio career enabled me to charge as much as KSh 250,000 for a 30-minute advertisement. I could do about three such advertisements in one week,” he said.

He was in his twenties at that time, living on the proper fast lane.

Oduor, who hails from Buruburu, narrated how his circle of friends was made up of wealthy peers who would buy new cars and board flights to London at the drop of a hat.

He particularly recalled that one of his friends was a pilot who sometimes flew their group to Diani for weekend parties.

These trips exposed him to an environment filled with parties, alcohol, and drugs.

Little did he know that the party lifestyle would gradually develop into a serious addiction.

Addiction Begins Affecting His Work

At the height of his career, Oduor was working at Easy FM and earning more than KSh 500,000 per month.

“I was 25 or 26 at the time. I was not married, so I had fun. I owned about five Subarus, which I used to change almost every day,” he said.

Despite his success, his drug use was becoming more difficult to control. Oduor said he reached a point where he was taking pills so frequently that he operated on “autopilot.”

“I don’t even know how I used to function at work,” he recalled.

As the addiction became worse, Oduor began experiencing frightening withdrawal symptoms and hallucinations.

He also developed suicidal thoughts. At one point, he heard voices telling him to climb a building and jump.

Luckily, he had a supportive family and mentors who urged him to seek rehabilitation.

The Makini school alumnus explained that one of the most difficult parts of recovery is avoiding relapse.

According to him, rehabilitation may help someone stop using drugs, but returning to the same friends, places and habits that supported the addiction can lead them back to substance use.

Today, Oduor says he is more disciplined. Although he enjoys a glass of beer as much as the next man,   he closely controls his alcohol consumption so as not to trigger a relapse.

Remembering His Mentor Edward Kwach

Oduor, who is now a father of four, also spoke about the late radio presenter Edward Kwach, whom he described as one of Kenya’s greatest broadcasters.

“Even if people are still listening to radio in the next 200 years, there will never be another Edward Kwach. His personality, talent and way of looking at life were unique,” he said.

Kwach was more than a colleague to Oduor. He was a close friend and mentor who supported him for over a decade. Oduor’s children were so close to him that they called him “Uncle Big Voice.”

“My children used to call him Uncle Big Voice. That is how close we were. We travelled to Kisumu together and went through the COVID-19 period together,” Oduor recalled.

Away from broadcasting, Oduor runs an advertising business that he co-founded with his brother.

The company offers services such as media buying and billboard advertising.

In a recent interview on Young Millionaire Talks, Mutie revealed that he made his first million at ages 24-25 and that he has been practising law for the past 10 years.

Practising law is a passion that he has had since he was young.

“I came from scratch, so I consider myself a self-made man. It took a lot of effort on my part to be where I am today,” he said.

Growing up in poverty

Mutie, who is the fourth-born in a family of five children, was raised by a single mother and spent his formative years in the lawless and volatile slums of Kibra.

Hardship and poverty forced his mother to relocate the family to their rural home in Makueni County, where Mutie and his siblings trekked 16 kilometers a day in pursuit of education at Mung’eli Primary School, which is located in Kaiti Constituency.

From a young age, he knew that his only path out of poverty was that of education.

Today, he advises young people who are looking to make it without godfathers, connections, or impressive family backgrounds that education is the only tool that is the equalizer.

“Education for someone who comes from a poor background can make you sit at the same table with a king and discuss any topic. You gain a lot of respect, knowledge, experience, and network from academics,” he said, adding that discipline and commitment are also important.

Education and professional career

After sitting for his KCSE in 1997, Mutie hustled for 12 years before he could raise enough money to enroll in university.

During that period, he worked as a DJ at Mbaitu FM, a job that enabled him to join Daystar University in 2008 to do a Bachelor of Arts degree in Peace and Conflict Transformation.

Several years later, he enrolled for a Bachelor of Law degree at the University of Nairobi and later joined Kenya Schools of Law for his postgraduate diploma.

Since then, he has acquired a Master’s in Project Planning and Management, a Master’s in International Law, and a PhD in Governance and Leadership from JKUAT.

Mutie also holds two more master’s degrees from Africa Nazarene University and is in the process of completing his PhD in law from the University of Nairobi.

These achievemnts have seen him work as a consultant for various companies and parastatals such as Olive Leaf Foundation, Kenya and South Africa, World Bank, EU, UNDP, GiZ and the Government of Kenya.

He maintains that young people need to do whatever they can to free themselves from the shackles of poverty.

“If you come from a humble background, you need to work twice as hard as your peers whose paths have already been set for them. This will help you compete with the elites of this country in making a better life,” he said.

He added that financial discipline is also crucial, saying that he has invested in various ventures such as poultry farming, money markets, and real estate.

The lawyer also encouraged young people to venture into entrepreneurship, saying that it is very hard to become rich when working for someone else.

“When you look at the names of people in magazines such as Forbes who have made it to the top, you’ll find that they are in industries such as manufacturing, research, AI, and business,” he said.

He added that a belief in God is also important, and that he believes in divine intervention.

In a recent interview on Young Millionaire talks, Mwirigi revealed that he did not receive the high school grade he had hoped for. He scored a C-, which did not qualify him to study for a university degree.

He therefore decided to pursue a diploma in journalism and mass communication. Many people doubted his decision, but his mother continued to support him.

“I knew that even if the world failed to accept me, my mother would accept me, and her acceptance was enough,” he said.

Moving to Nairobi

On September 6, 2026, Mwirigi, who hails from Mpeketoni in Lamu, posted a reflection post in his Instagram page, celebrating nine years since he moved to Nairobi.

In the post, he stated that the nine years have brought him more experiences and blessings than he could have ever imagined when he relocated to the city.

He also stated that consistency and humility are some of the personal traits that have helped him along the way. “Sometimes, choosing silence and focusing on your purpose is the greatest strength,” he said.

Buying his first car

In 2025, Tony Mwirigi made headlines when he announced that he had bought his first car, a Mazda Atenza, at the age of 27.

In a video shared on his TikTok page, Mwirigi stated that he bought the car fully in cash, without any sponsorships or paid partnerships tied to the purchase.

The 2017 silver Atenza, which has a 2000 cc engine capacity, allegedly cost him over ksh 1 million.

“NB: I PAID OVER 1M IN CASH ON this SILVER ATENZA, 2017, 2000 cc. The logbook is under my name, and it is NTSA verified,” said Mwirigi.

He added that although the Atenza was his ride at the moment, his ultimate goal and ambition was to drive a Mercedes-Benz C-200, which he plans to buy in 2-3 years.

However, the Atenza has currently garnered him so much attention that he has become known as Tony Wa Atenza, with the media personality revealing future plans to partner with Mazda as their local brand ambassador.

Saving KSh 126,600 in a Piggy Bank

Mwirigi, whose one of his major accomplishments is being a TV host at K24, has also left social media abuzz after sharing a video of himself opening a piggy bank.

He revealed savings of about Sh126,600, a feat he achieved after saving every spare coin he had from July to December 2025.

“This was my first time trying home banking. I honestly didn’t expect it to reach this amount,” he stated, noting that this was his first time saving in a piggy bank.

According to Mwirigi, who has also worked as a presenter at Cape Media’s Radio 47, his savings culture was inspired by comedian and fellow radio personality Mulamwah, who has in the past spoken about the importance of financial responsibility.

Mwirigi, who also doubles as an events Mcee, bought the Mazda a few days after the piggy bank achievement.

You may recognize him as the younger brother of Kenya’s fourth president, Uhuru Kenyatta.

He is also the current CEO of Brookside Dairy and one of the largest shareholders in NCBA Group, owning 227.3 million shares which are worth approximately ksh 20 billion.

In a recent impromptu interview on Young Millionaire Talks, Muhoho shared nuggets of wisdom on how young people can start and scale their businesses.

According to him, a good business starts with a good idea, although one must also dedicate themselves and focus on their goals.

“You need to have an idea, then focus. Keep your head down and know that nothing comes overnight. Success comes through hard work and grinding for long periods,” he said.

His advice to young people is for them to look for positive energy and stay away from circles of people who have negative energy or who are trying to distract them.

Even when networking, Muhoho stated that it is important for one to network in the right circles; otherwise, you will be wasting your time.

However, he cautioned that not everyone can become an entrepreneur.

“Business is only one aspect of life. There are people who are good at business while others are not. I don’t think everybody should be an entrepreneur. Look for your true North and focus on where you want to go,” he said.

He added that sometimes people who would have excelled in corporate spaces often give up their potential to open small businesses that make no headway.

According to him, there are plenty of other careers that people should focus on, instead of thinking that starting a business is the beginning and end of life.

For those who have chosen the path of business, Muhoho said that growth is a matter of reinvesting and compounding.

“Don’t think that the day you make your first profit is the day you should start celebrating, or buy your first big car. No. You have to keep reinvesting your business proceeds, following the principle of compounding,” he said.

Muhoho, who has mastered the art of keeping a low public profile, co-founded Brookside Dairy in 1993. His leadership has seen the company grow to become East Africa’s largest dairy processor.

In December 2025, NCBA Group appointed Muhoho as a non-executive director, citing his extensive experience in leading and developing businesses across East Africa for more than three decades

Aside from business, Muhoho is rumoured to have played a key part in several major political affiliations in Kenya.

For instance, he is said to have catalyzed the merger of former president Uhuru Kenyatta’s The National Alliance (TNA) party and the United Republican Party (URP), which was led by current president William Ruto ahead of the 2013 elections.

He also orchestrated the earth-shaking political handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and former prime minister Raila Odinga.

Muhoho’s educational accolades include a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) degree in Economics and Political Science, which he acquired from Williams College, Massachusetts, USA.

He also holds a Pan-African Advanced Management Programme Certification.

The fund, which is a product of Standard Investment Bank (SIB), is currently worth about KES 153 billion, according to Business Daily.

This is Nahashon’s journey as told by WoK:

Growing up in Limuru

Nahashon, who hails from a family of four, was born in the verdant suburbs of Ndeiya, Limuru. This is in Kiambu County.

He is the great-grandson of Chief Waiyaki Wa Hinga, a famous freedom fighter.

Although they were not affluent, Nahashon’s parents made enough to raise their children in a comfortable family.

His mother worked for the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, a job that allowed her to travel frequently and meet all sorts of people. His father, on the other hand, was a civil engineer.

Growing up, Nahashon liked reading books and watching documentaries about successful people.

“A lot of the things I see in my life now are very similar to the things I saw and read about,” he revealed in a recent interview with Business Daily.

Starting his career

When Nahashion landed his first job as a cashier, his ambition was to save and earn enough to buy a car, which he could use to transport his family.

He says that one of the most impactful chapters of his life was between ages 25-35. It was during this time that he learned how to be a father and a husband, while still striving to achieve his dreams.

At the age of 32, he quit his banking career and founded Mansa X, although many people considered his decision crazy at the time.

The fund was launched in 2019 and has since managed assets worth tens of billions of Kenyan shillings.

Family and painful loss

Nahashon’s wife is a psychologist, and the couple has been blessed with two daughters aged 8 and 16. One of their daughters is an artist and has even sold one of her artworks for Ksh 100,000.

The couple also had a son, who sadly passed away during infancy.

“No sooner had the baby been born than we lost him,” he said, adding that the loss sparked his interest in improving the country’s healthcare sector.

Nash, as his friends call him, maintains that his daughters must learn the Gikuyu language, even hiring tutors to teach them Gikuyu lessons.

Life away from investments

Away from the chaotic world of numbers, cheques, and bank accounts, Nahashon finds comfort in spending time in his mancave and watching movies.

“In all my houses, I always have a mancave. I like watching movies alone. It is where my creativity comes from,” he said.

Sme of his hobbies include playing golf at Muthaiga Country Club and riding horses with his friends. He also spends time at his Limuru fruit farm and enjoys music from bands such as The Beatles and The Dire Straits.

He maintains that money accumulates towards people who respect it, which is why he encourages people to spend less than they can afford.

“In life, unlike markets, bad things tend to get better. Remember to be playful. Don’t let life dictate who you are,” he said.

As a manager within the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) mental health services, she is carving out a path in a leadership arena where young, Black voices are still far too rare. In a recent conversation with Whownskenya.com, Dr. Elizabeth shared the story of her remarkable rise from Nairobi, her insights into the British healthcare system, and the delicate art of balancing a high-stakes career with family life.

Foundations in Nairobi and the JKUAT Launchpad

Dr. Elizabeth’s journey began in the heart of Kenya.

“I grew up and studied in Nairobi my whole life, I attended Moi Girls’ School Nairobi, which laid the initial groundwork,” she says.

With her sights set high, she enrolled at the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) Main Campus. She has a Bsc Human Nutrition and Dietitics and an MSc and PhD in Public Health and Epidemiology. Looking back, she credits the university’s rigorous, hands-on philosophy for preparing her for the global stage.

“JKUAT really fueled my ambitions by providing practical learning, the focus on labs, workshops, and project-based coursework allowed me to take complex theories and apply them directly to real-world problems.”

“The university’s network also proved invaluable. Their industry ties and partnerships with local hospitals and research centers gave me crucial exposure through internships and fieldwork,” she notes.

“Access to such dedicated faculty, alumni, and peers offered the mentorship and collaboration I needed to move forward.”

Her academic performance soon opened doors in Europe.

“I was actually offered a chance to go to Germany with DAAD during my thesis period,” she tells WoK.

She adds: “However, I couldn’t take it because I was already working in the UK and had become well-established in my area of expertise there.”

Breaking Barriers in the UK NHS

Upon moving to the UK, Dr. Elizabeth quickly navigated the ranks of the NHS. While many immigrants encounter systemic hurdles, she describes her transition into management as a positive experience, thanks to a supportive professional culture.

“To be honest, I didn’t face significant challenges because the NHS is a very supportive institution,” she says.

“Choosing to lead in the mental health sector was a deliberate move, intended to challenge the status quo for minority professionals in the UK. It feels wonderful to occupy this space and support those coming up behind me,” Dr. Elizabeth shares.

She adds: “Many Black professionals in the UK are hesitant to step into leadership, often staying at entry-level roles for years despite their potential. I want to change that narrative.”

For her, management is about more than just administration; it’s about impact.

“Beyond the protocols, what truly drives me is the opportunity to empower patients, families, and clinicians with compassionate guidance and a clear path toward a healthier future.”

Healthcare Dynamics: Kenya vs. The UK

Her perspective from the UK has given her a unique vantage point on how Kenya’s medical sector might evolve, particularly regarding mental health and integrated care.

“It’s an exciting field, especially since there is currently less emphasis in Kenya on mental health and the multidisciplinary teamwork that involves all healthcare cadres,” she observes.

She notes that the British system thrives because every role is valued equally.

“In the UK, every healthcare professional is actively involved and respected. This collaboration ensures patients get the best possible care and recover faster. Specialization is also highly encouraged and appreciated.”

The Power of a Support System

Behind every successful leader is a solid foundation, and Dr. Elizabeth credits her drive to those closest to her. She notes that her greatest motivation comes from her husband, child, parents, and siblings, who have always pushed her to aim for the stars. Managing the demands of a healthcare career alongside motherhood is no easy feat, and she points to her husband as her primary pillar of support.

“Honestly, my husband is incredibly supportive, and that makes all the difference when balancing work and family, we work as a team so that neither of us has to shoulder it all alone.”

A Word to Aspiring Professionals

Dr. Elizabeth’s journey from Nairobi to the upper echelons of the NHS is a testament to the power of stepping outside one’s comfort zone. As our interview drew to a close, she shared an encouraging message for any young Kenyan eyeing international success:

“To everyone aspiring to enter these spaces: stay motivated. Go out there and achieve those goals. It is entirely possible.”

-Dr Austin Omondi has been vocal on mental health advocacy and was pivotal in mobilising young medics to provide free medical services to injured protesters during the 2024 finance bill riots.

Dr Austin Omondi popularly known as Japrado is a young doctor who is building a strong legacy. He is the founder for Medics for Kenya and was feted among the top 100 Kenyans in 2024. He was also honoured as the Star person of the year 2024.

Here is his brief biography as told by WoK:

Education

Omondi sat for his KCPE at High Gate Academy, Mombasa in 2008 and scored an impressive 422 marks. This remarkable achievement earned him a slot at Alliance High School.

According to him, being at Alliance was an inspiration especially figuring out the successful people who had already gone through this iconic institution. He scored an A in KCSE and pursued an undergraduate degree in Medicine and Surgery.

Humanitarian role and abduction 

After 6 years in medical school, Omondi proceeded for a one year internship. During this period, he made headlines when he mobilised young medics to provide free medical services to injured demonstrators during the deadly 2024 Gen Z riots. As the founder for Medics for Kenya, Omondi has seen the group conduct medical camps and blood donation drives among other volunteering services.

During the riots, he brought together at least 100 medics who made a makeshift clinic at Jamia Mosque where they did triaging, first aid and referrals to protesters who had been injured.

However, Omondi’s role is alleged to have been the reason behind his abduction in June 2024. He was abducted by unknown persons at Sikh Union. At the time, Omondi was conducting a blood donation drive.

“I was this afternoon abducted by the Police incommunicado while conducting a blood donation drive at the Sikh Union,” he posted on X.

The matter led to uproar on social media with officials from KMPDU, LSK and KMA pushing for his release. The doctors’ union even threatened a strike. He was eventually released.
