The @UKenyatta Family windfall came from Jomo Kenyatta. Much has been written about how the initial wealth was “ACQUIRED”, but of greater importance is how the wealth has been MAINTAINED, DISTRIBUTED and EXPANDED. We explain from tomorrow!

The first step to forming an empire is having strong allies. Jomo Kenyatta married from two powerful families, Grace Wanjiku, daughter to Snr Chief Koinange wa Mbiyu (grandfather to Jeff Koinange) and Mama Ngina, daughter to Senior Chief Muhoho wa Gathecha.
In the early colonial period, Snr Chiefs controlled a lot of resources & were equal to the later provincial administrators. Jane ‘Jeni’ Wambui, daughter to Mama Ngina married to former Director of Lonhro Udi Gecaga, a renowned entrepreneur.

Since independence, a member of the three pillars has always held an elective position at any given time.

The result of this is that family members have managed to ACQUIRE and AMASS vast amounts of wealth through various holding companies as well as REAL ESTATE and property all over the country

Senior Chief Gathecha Muhoho was the father to Mama Ngina Kenyatta, but more importantly also the father to George Muhoho (former Director of KAA) and Paul Gathecha, an entrepreneur mentioned in the NYS Season 1 and by Lillan Mbogo-Omollo!
