I spent my childhood in Kericho and was educated at Kericho Highlands Primary School. I then went to Kisumu High School for a year before moving to Nairobi at Eastleigh Secondary School.

I left ESS in 1959 and came to the UK. I attended Brixton School of Building and Willesden College of Technology. I am a Civil Engineer by profession. I am married to Gudi and we have a daughter Roopinder and son Navtej, both married.
