Kimathi Agyeman-Rawlings, the only son and youngest child of the late former President Jerry John Rawlings and former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, is a figure who has maintained a quiet and private life despite his family’s prominent political legacy.
Born in 1980 in Accra, Ghana, Kimathi grew up under the watchful eyes of Ghana’s most iconic political couple. His name, “Kimathi,” was chosen by his father in honor of Dedan Kimathi, the famed Kenyan freedom fighter, reflecting the Rawlings family’s deep ties to Pan-African ideals and revolutionary history.
Unlike his eldest sister, Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, who is actively involved in Ghanaian politics, Kimathi has deliberately kept a low public profile. He pursued his early education at North Ridge Lyceum and Morning Star School in Accra before traveling abroad for further studies. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in International Business from Aston University in Birmingham, United Kingdom.
Today, Kimathi works as a Commercial and Portfolio Advisor at Eni, a multinational oil and gas company, and is based in London. Though he stays out of the political spotlight, his professional success reflects the values of discipline and service instilled in him by his parents.
Despite the curiosity that surrounds the Rawlings family, Kimathi has remained grounded, focusing on his career and personal life away from media attention. His story represents a unique blend of heritage and humility—one that contrasts with the high-profile lives of some of his siblings, yet speaks volumes about quiet leadership and legacy.
