First Lady Margaret Kenyatta wins hearts serving needy children and mothers

First Lady Margaret Kenyatta.

A honorary doctorate, a global award, a horde of grateful mothers and admirers across the country are among accolades that made the year for the First Lady Margaret Kenyatta.

That, plus the honour of being the only First Lady to tackle the 42-kilometre unforgiving course of the London Marathon, at 50, are what she takes home, to State House, when 2014 disappears and 2015 walks in.
