Kenya's first President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta married four wives, Grace Wahu, Edna Clarke, Grace Wanjiku and Mama Ngina. His children included President Uhuru Kenyatta, by his fourth and youngest wife, Ngina.

Little is known about Kenyatta's other wives and children. His eldest son Peter Muigai Kenyatta by first wife Grace Wahu was born in 1920 and died in October 1979, barely a year after his father's demise on August 22, 1978.
