Regular visitors to President Mwai Kibaki’s State House have many memories to share. There were numerous hilarious moments like when Vice President Moody Awori and another junior State House official separately earned the wrath of First Lady Lucy Kibaki for getting her official title wrong.

Mr Awori had inadvertently made reference to “the Second Lady”. Not too long after these incidents, President Kibaki broke with his tradition to address the nation on who was (and who was not!) a member of his family.
