Ken joined Starehe Boys after he scored 617 marks out of the possible 700 in KCPE at Olympic Primary.

In a past interview with Daily Nation, he said it was at the prestigious school, where he first slept on a bed.

It was at Starehe where I used a bed for the first time in my life, graduating from shared mats or mattresses spread on the floor. Oh, what a change it was for me.

He also said he opted to stay in school over the holidays than go home

PRIOR TO SECONDARY SCHOOL, I HAD NOT KNOWN A THREE-MEAL DIET. EATING FROM THE TRASH BINS WAS JUST NORMAL. I SELDOM WENT BACK HOME, CHOOSING INSTEAD TO REMAIN AT SCHOOL STUDYING AND WORKING.

Okoth's former classmates have paid moving tributes to him. Check out some of their messages;

Geoffrey Muchiri  My senior and roommate at Starehe Boys Centre. That's how close cancer is striking. RIP bro. All is well.

Mohammed Wehliye A sad day for the nation and Starehe in particular. We lost Ken Okoth and also Nick Muriuki, former chairman of the management committee of Starehe.

Shaban Mwangi As a society to which Hon. Ken was a brother & a member, we will miss him. He put to practice the words of "The Charge" as given by our Boss, The Late Dr. Geoffrey W. Griffin.

Dan Kirwa Such a painful loss to the society at large... this was an exceptional breed of an MP @OldStarehians have lost a great mind and such a gentle soul.

David Kamau I have prayed and looked forward to a day of Ken's presidency...that is cut short!

Fame and money are fleeting, improving life-long opportunities for those in need are golden; Ken did that with valour.
