The late President Mwai Kibaki met his wife, the late Lucy Muthoni, shortly before he left for studies at the London School of Economics.

When he returned to Kenya, Kibaki who died on Friday last week would shuttle between Nairobi where he lived, and Kambui Teachers College in the tiny village of Kwa Maiko in Githunguri, Kiambu County, where Lucy was a student.
