President Uhuru Kenyatta noticeably referred to his late father as Kenya’s founding father, the late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta and not “my dad.”
This was when he visited his dad’s Mausoleum to lay a wreath, showing respect to the man who played a major role in liberating Kenya from the colonial rule. He was accompanied by First Lady Margaret Kenyatta.

Jomo Kenyatta was the founding father of Kenya; he was the first president of the country. This further proves that he is not an individualistic leader and that he is big on promoting national cohesion.
Kenyatta was the leader of Kenya from independence in 1963 to his death in 1978. Prior to that, he was the Prime Minister. Many Kenyan streets in main cities and landmark infrastructure are named after Kenyatta.
