Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta normally known by his two names, Uhuru Kenyatta is the son of the founding father of Kenya, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta.
He was born in the year 1961, October 26, two years before Kenya gained independence from her colonialist, Britain.
‘Uhuru’ is a Kiswahili word which means ‘freedom.’ Jomo Kenyatta, one of the freedom fighters for the realization of independence in Kenya from the oppressive hands of the British rule called his son by that name to signify that expectation.
Despite the fact his father was the president of the Republic of Kenya, Uhuru spent less time in the State House. In fact, during the reign of his father as the president, Uhuru spent his growing years in his father’s hometown, Gatundu.
The only birthday Uhuru ever to celebrate in State House was when he was seven years-old in the year 1968.
Mr.
Kenyatta attended the Roman Catholic school, St. Mary’s in Nairobi. As a
student in this school, Uhuru played his favorite sport rugby as a
winger for Saint Mary’s Nairobi Rugby team.
Sadly, his father died when he was seventeen years-old while still studying at St. Mary’s on August 22, 1978.
After completing his studies at St. Mary’s, Uhuru attended Amherst College, Massachusetts, United States, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Economics in the year 1985.
