President Uhuru Kenyatta was on Sunday asked how he met his wife, First Lady Margaret Kenyatta.
In a rare moment on Facebook, Uhuru narrated that he met the Margaret in his teenage years at high school.
"This is an interesting one: How did I meet the First Lady? When I met her, she wasn't the First Lady but just another wonderful and beautiful girl," Uhuru noted during a live chat on Facebook.
He said: "Let me say that I first met her brother. Her brother and I studied together in high school. We became friends. Through him, I managed to meet his younger sister. We started off a relationship that started from secondary school until now. And I thank God for that."
In an engagement that was also broadcast live by the national broadcaster KBC and K24 TV, the President had some advice to the youth.
“For all of you, who you meet today, as a friend and partner, may be your First Lady tomorrow. I still see her as the girl I meet in high school, not the First Lady,” he added.
Uhuru and Margaret Kenyatta have three children; Jomo, Njamba and Ngina.
