The Kenyatta family lineage
Uhuru was a privileged child whose early life was spent at State House.
Kenya s first President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta married four wives, Grace Wahu, Edna Clarke, Grace Wanjiku and Mama Ngina. His children included President Uhuru Kenyatta, by his fourth and youngest wife, Ngina. Little is known about Kenyatta s other wives and children. His eldest son Peter Muigai Kenyatta by first wife Grace Wahu was born in 1920 and died in October 1979, barely a year after his father s demise on August 22, 1978.
Peter Muigai Kenyatta was a prominent businessman in his own right and followed his father s footsteps into politics, getting elected the MP for Juja, a constituency neighbouring that of his father s Gatundu constituency. His father subsequently appointed him Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs.

The day-long postmortem examination procedure at Kenyatta Memorial Funeral Home in Kiambu County, overseen by Chief Government Pathologist Johansen Oduor yesterday, shed more light into the painful and despairing last moments of the four family members and one worker murdered in Kiambu last week.
The illuminating details could be crucial in helping investigators unravel the puzzling case, in which the murdered family’s eldest son, Lawrence Waruinge, has been arrested and arraigned in court as a suspect.
In a shocking twist of events, Lawrence Njoroge linked to the gruesome killing of his family members in Kiambu County, revealed that he was inspired by a TV show.
