President Uhuru Kenyatta’s nuclear family was not well known until the 2013 general elections that took him to State House.
History of the first family began in the 1980s when Uhuru met Margaret Wanjiru, daughter of former Kenya Railways Managing Director Njuguna Gakuo, apparently in Mombasa. They later tied the knot on Saturday, December 2, 1989.
The wedding ceremony at the Holy Family Basilica in Nairobi was officiated by arguably the most respected cleric of the time – Maurice Cardinal Otunga presided over the ceremony.

Uhuru’s brother, Muhoho Kenyatta, was the best man in an event that was attended by the then President Daniel Moi and a number of high level government officials.

Nothing much was publicly documented after the wedding as Uhuru and Margaret chose to live their lives away from the limelight, raising their children Jomo Kenyatta, Jaba Kenyatta and Ngina Kenyatta as private citizens, until Uhuru joined active politics.
