The members including the two Muhohos (one is brother to the President while another is uncle to the president) and Mama Ngina Kenyatta (mother to the President) were at the hospital mourning unidentified member of the family who is said to have died this evening.
Sources close to the family have indicated that a very influential member of the first family passed on in Nairobi this evening. It is not clear what led to the death but the dead member of the family is a tall figure.
We are still digging on for more information about this.
UPDATE:
We have established that the person who died is Noma Kanja, mother-in-law to Muhoho Kenyatta. Noma is the mother to Erika Kanja, wife to Muhoho Kenyatta. She is also the wife to Jimmy Kanja (the late). The other child of Noma and Jimmy Kanja is Trevor Kanja who owns the Galleria Mall.
We are also following to ascertain if there is any relationship between Waruru Kanja, father to Wachira Waruru (CEO Royal Media) and the Jimmy Kanja’s family.
