President Uhuru Kenyatta has an early gift before his inauguration on Tuesday, after he welcomed his first grandchild.
Jomo Kenyatta and wife Fiona Achola on Sunday welcomed ‘Baby Wanjiru’; their first child, who is also the first grandchild of the first family at the Agha Khan Hospital.
An elated President Kenyatta is said to have visited the newest member of the family later on in the evening.
The couple held a traditional wedding last year in what was an only-invited event.
Achola Kenyatta is the granddaughter of the late Dr William Odongo Omamo and niece to Defense Cabinet Secretary, Raychelle Omamo.
Their expectancy was unknown to many, owing to the nature of the first family, who are public shy. It was first noted during an event that was attended by the first lady at Marula Manor last week.
This will be a gift for the president-elect, who is set to be sworn in on Tuesday for another five years.
