On Tuesday, Kenya received the sad news of the passing on of former first lady Mama Lucy Kibaki.
Mrs Kibaki died in London where she was undergoing treatment.
President Uhuru Kenyatta broke the news through a statement in which he mourned Mama Lucy for her contribution to the country's development. Kenyans continue to mourn the fallen lady and her attributes.
Here are some of the traits every Kenyan woman can learn from the former first lady.
Good leader.
Mama, as she was fondly referred, was a good leader. This saw her being nominated to be the chair of an organisation of over 40 African First Ladies. The organisation was formed to fight HIV/Aids.
Loving and caring
As many will remember, Mama was always protective ofher husband. In 2002, after former president Mwai Kibaki was involved in a car accident, Mama took an initiative to campaign for him until he won the elections. She always supported Kibaki. She took her family matters seriously and always guarded it.
Be humble
Mama Lucy Kibaki was a humble person. This is even evident that she did not want to be in the headlines daily.
