Elizabeth Mumbi Madoka- Miss Uhuru (Miss Independence)

Very few people can boast of close ties with the first family like Elizabeth Mumbi can. You see Elizabeth Mumbi was President Jomo Kenyatta's first and only social secretary since the founding father took over the reins of power in 1963 and she held that prestigious position until the demise of the president in 1978. Her autobiography "Miss Uhuru 1963" captures a rich history of her interaction with the first family and includes snippets of her interaction with the current president Uhuru Kenyatta growing up and how she met her husband as they both worked for the first president of Kenya.
