The oldest member of the Kenyan Senate finally graduated with a doctorate degree at the 54th graduation of Nairobi University.
On Friday morning, Laikipia Senator G. G. Kariuki was conferred with a Doctorate of Philosophy in International Studies, at an event that was full of pomp and colour.
76-year-old Kariuki could not hide his joy in the new achievement, posing for photos with fellow graduates.
University of Nairobi Vice-Cancellor Prof Peter Mbithi congratulated G.G Kariuki, citing that age should not be a limit to scaling higher heights in education.
