Family and background

[edit]

Wanyonyi, the seventh-born in his family, was brought up in Mukhweya village, Nalondo, Bungoma County. His father, Mzee Dominic Wetang'ula, is a retired teacher and a polygamist. They were brought up in abject poverty, a matter that forced Wanyonyi to repeat classes severally as he sacrificed for his other siblings to also achieve education.

His elder brother, Moses Wetangula, is the current speaker of the National Assembly of Kenya, and party leader of the Forum for the Restoration of Democracy – Kenya. His other siblings include Fred Wetangula who is a Nairobi-based businessman, the Late Tony Wetangula, and a younger sister, Emmeryncian Waswa.

Timothy Wetangula is married to Electina Naswa and they are blessed with three children, a son and twin girls Paulyne and Sophia.
