By Nicholas Anyuor and Erick Lungai

Founding President Jomo Kenyatta shielded a woman who had hit him with a shoe in the full glare of his security during the requiem Mass for the slain Tom Mboya, the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission was told.

The Commission heard the woman removed her shoes and hit Kenyatta’s forehead at the Holy Family Basilica, Nairobi, on July 9, 1969.
