President Uhuru Becomes a Grandfather

This will probably be one of President Uhuru Kenyatta's happiest weeks after graduating to a grandfather, only a day before his swearing in ceremony for his second term in office.

President Uhuru's first son, Jomo Kenyatta and his wife Fiona Achola welcomed a baby girl on Sunday. Achola, who tied the knot to the younger Kenyatta last year, delivered “Baby Wanjiru”, the couple’s first born child and President Kenyatta's first grandchild at the Aga Khan hospital in Nairobi.

This comes only a day before the President is installed for his second term at a ceremony to be held at Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani on Tuesday. President Uhuru arrived at the hospital moments after the baby was born at the the VIP wing.

The two got married in a traditional wedding ceremony held at Uhuru’s rural home in Ichaweri, Gatundu in 2016.
