It appears founding father Mzee Jomo Kenyatta was a great man since his earlier days, though his political rivals would see the complete opposite when he took over the nation in 1963.
Apart from his presidency, the other popular things about Kenyatta inclide his imprisonment at the Lokitaung Prison and of course, his love story with his Briton wife Edna Clarke.
It emerges that Kenyatta won the heart of Clarke, a teacher, when he was living in Britain, and was working part time at AG Lingfield and Sons, a tomato company.
He spent the rest of the time giving lectures at the Workers Union Center, where he met Clarke, who had had her parents killed in an air raid during yhe world war at around 1942.
Kenyatta became her confort and the person whose shoulders she could cry on and soon after, he won her heart, sweeping her off her feet.
Shortly after, he married her at the Chanctonbury Registry Office in Sussex, though he was already married to Grace Wahu in a traditional event, before they proceeded to conceive a son, Peter Magana.
Kenyatta would shortly after return to Kenya, only contacting Clarke through letters. She only visited him in Kenya twice, both times being booked in at the Intercontinental Hotel.
An ailing Kenyatta, suffering from both eczema, gout and old age died in 1978, 17 years before Clarke.
