Governor Kidero has ‘neglected his father-in-law’

Tom Mboya is the father to Nairobi First Lady, Susan Kidero, the wife to Governor Kidero.

When it was unveiled in 2011, the Tom Mboya statue that stands metres away from the spot where he was gunned down in downtown Nairobi 47 years ago was an artistic monument in Nairobi and became an instant hit with commercial photographers, and fans of Gor Mahia which Mboya founded in 1968.

The fans still assemble there before and after matches, ostensibly to pray, a practice said to have contributed to the disfigurement of flamingo carvings and other symbols that added to the magnificence of what was a truly popular ‘shrine’ built in memory of the ‘best president Kenya never had.’
