The family of Kenya’s first president, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, is widely known for its political influence and vast investments in the country’s leading sectors.
The family has multi-million wealth in various sectors including banking, real estate, hospitality, and agriculture, among others.
While Brookside Dairy, Mediamax Network Limited and Heritage Group of Hotels are some of the family’s known investments, not many know that the family also owns Green Experience restaurant in Lari, Kiambu County.
The restaurant, which opened its doors in 2018, is owned by former president Uhuru Kenyatta’s daughter, Ngina Kenyatta.
It sits on the family’s tea estate in Lari, which served as Uhuru Kenyatta’s residential home in the ’80s, according to reports.
