Kiambu is not an ordinary county. It produced the founding President of the Republic of Kenya whose son Uhuru Kenyatta is the current President. From the same county hails Charles Njonjo, the first post-colonial Attorney General.
Other powerful names from the county, who dominated national politics from the 1960s include Mbiyu Koinange who served as minister for 16 years, James Gichuru, one of the founders of Kanu in 1960 and Njenga Karume, a proponent of the Change the Constitution Movement in 1976 meant to block then Vice President Daniel Moi from ascending to power in the event of President Kenyatta’s death.
