Saturday, November 9, 2024 - The family of former President Uhuru Kenyatta and the Kenyatta family at large have been thrown into mourning following the death of the former president’s brother-in-law, William Maina Gakuo.
An obituary published in a
leading local newspaper noted that funeral arrangements are underway with
family, friends, and relatives gathering at the deceased’s home in Karen.
"It is with deep sorrow and humble acceptance of God’s will
that we announce the passing of William Gakuo. Gakuo was the husband of Sheila
Wanjiku Mwangi, and brother to Gabriela, Maina, Anna, Christine, Margaret, and
Uhuru,” read part of the obituary.
Gakuo is the brother of Uhuru's wife, former First Lady Margaret Kenyatta.
Gakuo, who was
the only brother to Margaret Kenyatta, shared a close bond with his sister, with
an uncanny resemblance.
Gakuo and Uhuru
were classmates at St Mary’s High School in Nairobi.
It is through
Gakuo that Uhuru is reported to have first met Margaret who would become his
wife
His final send-off is planned for Tuesday, November 12 when his body will be cremated at the Hindu crematorium after a service.
