The children of the elite political class in Kenya haven't all had an easy time -hahahahahahaha! I had to start us off with a joke. And so it is, that we take a look at what the children of the elite Kenyan political class do with their lives.

What could they possibly be upto? Partying all the time? Philanthropy? Could lounging about be more up their alley? Or did some use their parent's influence to start businesses that are currently running successfully?
