His Excellency Honourable Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, the President of the Republic Of Kenya turns 54 years today. Born on 26 October 1961, he is the son of Kenya’s founding father and first president, Jomo Kenyatta, and is the fourth President of Kenya, from April 9, 2013.
When he was growing up, Mr Kenyatta always shied away from politics, wanting to be seen as an ordinary person at ease with ordinary Kenyans.As a child born to a rich and powerful family, he went to one of the best schools in Nairobi before attending Amherst College in the US where he studied Political Science and Economics
He is married to Margaret Gakuo Kenyatta and they have three children, Jomo, Jaba and Ngina Kenyatta.
Did you know that he also played as a Winger for St. Mary’s Nairobi Rugby Team, and despite his privileged background, Uhuru’s sociability has cast him as a man of the people.
We at SDE wish the President a happy birthday.
