Former President Uhuru Kenyatta recently made headlines with a cheeky comment that left many people laughing. While speaking at a public event, Uhuru jokingly told young men where they can find Kenya’s most beautiful women. He said they should visit Kiambu County — the place where he found his wife, former First Lady Margaret Kenyatta.
With a big smile on his face, Uhuru said, “If you want to find a good wife, go to Kiambu. That’s where I found Margaret.” The crowd burst into laughter, enjoying the light moment from the former head of state. Many people shared the clip online, calling it one of Uhuru’s funniest and sweetest remarks.
Margaret Kenyatta is loved by many Kenyans for her calm, kind, and graceful nature. During her time as First Lady, she led several projects, including the Beyond Zero Campaign, which focused on improving healthcare for mothers and children. Many Kenyans still admire her and see her as a strong example of a supportive and caring wife.
Uhuru’s comment was meant as a joke, but it also warmed people’s hearts. It showed his love and respect for his wife, even after many years of marriage. Social media users reacted with jokes and memes, with some young men saying they were now planning to “take a trip to Kiambu.”
While the moment was funny, it also reminded people of the importance of love, respect, and choosing a good partner. Uhuru’s light-hearted advice may not be serious, but it brought joy to many — and once again showed his playful side that Kenyans have always known.
