7 Men Who Found Out About The Late Lucy Kibaki’s Fury The Hard Way
The late Lucy Kibaki will be remembered for several things but the most notable would be her iron clad manner when handling those and what she deemed as demeaning her and her family. Most of the time at the end of her fury will be men many who got off with a slap. Here are 7 men who came to find out of her fury the hard way.
- Moody Awori
The then VP had every good intention when he decided to have a toast in celebration to the First Lady at a New Year’s State House banquet. Either he had imbibed quite a powerful punch or he had been carried by the excitement of the occasion and he ended up toasting to Lucy Kibaki as the ‘second Lady’. A furious Lucy walked out of the ceremony bringing it to an end and the former VP has since clarified it was a slip of the tongue.
- Matere Keriri
Here was one man who was the ultimate professional at his job, however, perceived notions by the late Lucy Kibaki that he was more towards the Wambui camp would first result in a hand shake snub at the airport and the then State House Comptroller would then be kicked out of his job in a short while.
Makhtar Diop
He was then the World Bank country director and he had a party at his home. Given the close proximity to state house, sounds and noise did fly over and an enraged Lucy Kibaki stormed the party with her night clothes to have it stopped. This party events would spill her wraths to other third parties.
Clifford Derrick
Lucy Kibaki got wind that the Nation was writing a story about her storming the Makhtar Diop party. She did not waste time but stormed the building and caused quite a havoc. Clifford Derrick was then a cameraman and present and proceeded to record the whole proceedings. As expected she was enraged by hiss action and slapped him before struggling with him to take away the camera.
State House MC
During Jamhuri day celebrations one state house MC had the misfortune of a massive tongue slip introducing the first lady as Lucy Kibaki Wambui. An enraged lady rose from where she sat and proceeded to slap a major one on the MC. The poor fellow was whisked away quickly and nothing was ever heard from him.
Gitobu Imanyara
His mistake was that of representing the photojournalist slapped by Mama Lucy Kibaki. Lucy never forgot nor forgave that and when Gitobu found himself at State House on a visit, he was given a slap before she demanded he leaves State House
George Saitoti
He earned the then First Lady’s wrath because of doing nothing, at least as she saw it. It was at the height of the Nakumatt Downtown fires and the Molo Oil Tanker fire that claimed about 145 lives. He did not get a slap but received a public dress down from Lucy Kibaki demanding he writes an explanation and gets working. The then Interior Security minister had to go to President Kibaki to seek validation and the matter ended with Kibaki declaring he had full confidence in his minister.
