I never bothered to study the
history of Kenya’s second First Lady until I sat down to do this story. An
interesting fact I soon found out is that we share the same birth month and
day. This iron lady was born Lucy Muthoni Kagai on January 13 in 1936 in Mukurwe-ini,
Nyeri County.
She was born of Rose Nyachomba and
father John Kagai who was a pastor of the Presbyterian Church of East Africa in
Nyeri’s Muhito Parish. Ostensibly a bright student, Mama Lucy studied at
Alliance Girls High School from where she would embark to a teaching career.
