Former First Lady Lucy Kibaki may be gone but her imposing image will forever remain etched on the minds of these eight men.
Here’s why:
1. Journalists Philip Mwaniki and John Muchiri
On May 1 2005, the two hacks who were just starting their journalism at the Nation Media Group, penned a scoop after then First Lady stormed a farewell party hosted by then outgoing World Bank country director Makhtar Diop.
Hell broke loose the following day as Mama Lucy stormed NMG newsroom demanding their arrests.
“My heart dropped, my jaw followed. Knees buckled and throat dried. Was this the end? I have never been so scared in my life. I knew my 20-year-old self was done – Nyayo House here I come. Then paranoia set in, I found myself peeping out of the windows to see if there was a SWAT team about to storm my house and take me in,” recalls Mwaniki.
The storm died a natural death and today, the two are polished entertainment journalists.
