I was born on 23rd June 1937. I studied at Kisumu High School, in Kisumu and AllidinaVisram School in Mombasa before coming to Racecourse Secondary School for my Form 4 course. Hence, I was at RSS only for one year but still have good memories of the school.

I went for my higher studies to India and completed my initial preparatory course at Wadia College in Pune. I was able to gain admission for a degree course in Pharmacy at Nagpur University. I later attended Aberdeen University for a further qualification in Pharmacy.

I worked for Sterling Drug Inc and managed their factory in Nairobi for several years. I came to the UK in 1967 and ran my own pharmacy in Gravesend until 1969. Since then, I have settled in Basildon.
