Uhuru said that true beliefs and judgments must correspond to the actual state of affairs. A race that portrayed them as archrivals in the 2022 presidential contest.

Outgoing President Uhuru Kenyatta has issued a brief speech following the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the election results, but failed to mention ...

Earlier today, Dr Ruto said in his speech shortly after the court's verdict that he would be reaching out to President Kenyatta to discuss transition to his administration. We are not petty," Dr Ruto said at his Karen residence in Nairobi. He wondered, while inviting Kenyans to keep vigil and hold all institutions to account.

During the Jomo era, Cabinet ministers and government officials knew that her word was law. · Forget the Commander-in-Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces, Mama ...

She was 18 and he was in mid-fifties and already acknowledged leader of the freedom struggle. And key to unlocking the campaign coffers was Mama Ngina, who even in advancing years retains a firm grip on the family business empire even if not in charge of day-to-day management. She was not to re-unite with her husband until 1960 when he completed a seven-year term, but remained under detention in a desolate part of northern Kenya. The exposure embarrassed Uhuru, who was trying to position himself as the president committed to fighting corruption. It is to her credit that the holdings she inherited were consolidated into the modern and giant business conglomerate with a wide variety of interests in hotels, banking, insurance, agriculture, food processing, real estate, education and media. That was in the run-up to the 2013 elections at a well-attended gathering, also in Gatundu, when she came out of relative seclusion to publicly give her blessing to Uhuru and Ruto, who at the time were gearing up to run for presidency on a joint ticket while under the cloud of International Criminal Court indictment over the 2007 post-election violence. Mama Ngina was addressing mourners at the funeral of her cousin in Gatundu, when she veered into politics, telling the gathering that their leader, her son, meant well for his people by dumping Ruto and instead choosing to work with opposition boss Raila Odinga. On her husband’s death in 1978 she gave up the duties of First Lady to retreat to private life overseeing phenomenal growth of a vast family fortune. The only time she generated controversy was in March this year after wading into the open rift between Uhuru and his Deputy President William Ruto, describing the latter as a person who had been badly brought up. As First Lady, Mama Ngina was the quiet presence with a demure half-smile always walking one step behind the commanding figure of the liberation struggle hero. The imposing Kenyatta may have cut the figure of the typical African strongman who brooked no dissent on the political arena, and on the domestic front firmly believed women and children should know their place. Since she was thrust into a public eye as a shy teenager bride to a much older Independence War hero, she hardly ever uttered a word in public.

She has pioneered many projects at the school and helped to create a better environment for the pupils, having come from a humble background herself,” said Olasya. As First Lady I know that she will be able to impact many people’s lives,” said Wamalwa. She was always among the top performing pupils in school and often led our worship services at school,” stated Simiyu. She is still the same devoted Christian we knew, and we believe that she will not change even when she becomes Kenya’s First lady,” said Naftali Olasya, her primary school headmaster. Like Olasya, Simiyu believed that Rachelstill exemplified the virtues she bore when she was a young girl. Olasya recounts that Rachel has always loved her alma mater, often visiting the school to work on various projects and mentoring pupils. She did not disappoint us because she performed well in her Ordinary and Advanced level examinations,” said the teacher. She still is the same young Rachel she was decades ago when she was in primary school. Wycliffe Wamalwa, a resident, said that community had benefited from Rachel’s generosity. This is because she has never changed despite her rise from humble beginnings to her current position as wife to Kenya’s second most powerful man, now poised to rise a notch higher. Olasya, 82, who was Ms Rachel’s teacher of English, recounted how hardworking and God-fearing his pupil was. She is unlikely to be as laid-back as Lena Moi or Mama Ngina Kenyatta.
