“Mama Victoria Nyaithiru was a God-fearing woman who believed that ultimately all good things are the result of a life of honesty, faith, and hard work,” said Uhuru.

Kenyatta added that the deceased’s reputation can be seen in her children’s contribution to Kenya’s socio-economic transformation.

“She loved her family and was fiercely protective of her children, raising them on a value-based upbringing which is reflected in their successful lives.”

“Certainly we can see the fruits of her keen parenting through her children some of whom are prominent leaders of our times,” he added.

    Ezactly. What is special about her? Because Njoki votes for Uhuru's one sided Myopic views...like she went against nullification of the election.

    Was she living in New York or did she go there for treatment that was not available in kenya and India? Hospital care in US I hear is very expensive.
