Dhanji Liladhar Parmar’s name may not ring a bell to many but to residents of Nakuru town and those familiar with the life and times of the late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, his is a household name.
Mr Parmar is not a politician nor a former freedom fighter, but his life was entangled with that of Kenyatta. In early 1968, then in his 20s, he was a little-known tailor operating from his father’s shop on Kenyatta Avenue in Nakuru town.
