Charles Njonjo: the First Person to Eat Ugali After Enrolling at Alliance High School

Despite this, one guy from affluent Kabete defied biblical predictions and lived to be 101 years old.

Charles Njonjo, the 'Duke of Kabeteshire' and Kenya's first top legal officer, died on January 2, 2022.

Njonjo was a significant figure in Kenyan history, particularly during the independence era, when he had a significant influence.

He was noted for his expressiveness, English traits, and love of English culture, earning him the informal, but not entirely free title of 'Sir' Charles.

The former Attorney General was noted for his striped suits, which he said he bought in London and wore with his signature red rosebud in his lapel.

Since he lost his ear, Njonjo has ridden in President Jomo Kenyatta's vehicle.

This was clear in light of his expectation that the government would provide extensive help to its inhabitants, which he claimed Mzee need.

Njonjo was instrumental in elevating Daniel Moi to Vice President when Josphat Murumbi resigned in 1967. In 1983, he and Moi departed, but Moi accused him of plotting to topple the government.

In 1920, Njonjo was one of eight children born to Senior Chief Josiah Njonjo. His life was characterized by money and power.

The Kenyan government has sent administration to his doorstep, with the Huduma Namba being the most recent.

"Because individuals aren't bringing a lot of archives with them," the outspoken former AG praised the push to reinforce individual peculiarities.

Njonjo ate ugali with interest in the months after starting Alliance High School since the previous AG was so popular that it captivated his first ears.

During the later week's end breaks, Njonjo used to ride a horse to school - horses were the equine protectors of authority in those days.

In a gathering at Alliance, he and several young people stood shoeless, hoisting the Union Jack. They only wore khaki shirts and shorts at Alliance.

He was worried about the typical virus outbreaks, as well as the difficulty of not being able to eat the meat he craved at home. It was only available for seven days at Alliance.
