Mzee Jomo Kenyatta with his family.

Ethiopia was one of the only two countries good old Jomo visited in his 15-year presidency, the other being Britain during the Commonwealth Prime Minister’s Summit in July 1964. Did you know Kenyatta was ‘mugged’ as he left the London Hilton to meet British Premier Sir Alec Douglas?
