The family of former president Uhuru Kenyatta has been thrown into mourning following the death of William Maina Gakuo. The family of Uhuru Kenyatta is in mourning after the death of William Gakuo, Margaret Kenyatta’s brother. Who is Maina Gakuo? An obituary in a local daily states that Gakuo was Margaret Kenyatta’s brother, making him the brother-in-law of former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Gakuo was the husband of Sheila Wanjiku Mwangi and uncle to the late Noni, Jomo and Achola, Lena and Bulisa, Ngina and Alex, and Muhoho and Chizi. Family and friends will gather at the late Maina Gakuo’s home in Karen on Saturday, November 9, and Sunday, November 10, for funeral preparations. “The service will be on Tuesday, November 12 at 10:00 am at the Hindu crematorium followed by cremation,” the statement read in part.
However, it is known that Uhuru met Margaret through her brother Gakuo, leading to their long-lasting marriage. The late Gakuo maintained a low profile, with most of his life being private and out of the public eye.
