Details of Uhuru Sister's Largest Flower Farm in East & Central Africa

President Uhuru Kenyatta's siblings have to a large extent managed to keep away from the public eye, hence, little is known about their personal lives. 

Anna Nyokabi Muthama, a sister to the head of state, is an entrepreneur, who owns the largest orchid farm in East and Central Africa.

The award-winning orchid farm is called 'Manda orchids' and is located in Kenya's central province.

In 2017, during the Kenya Horticultural Society’s 119th Flower and Plant Show, the flower farm won the special award for ‘Best Display of Cut Flowers’.

During the display, the farm exhibited more than half a dozen dazzling cymbidium orchids.

“We only grow our orchids on three acres, but that still makes us the largest commercial orchid growers in all of East and Central Africa,” Nyokabi told Business Daily in a previous interview in 2017.

The floral farm's website describes their signature cymbidium orchid as well-sought after for making events memorable.

"Our signature orchid assures wonderfully memorable affair, be it a wedding's florals or a birthday party's centerpiece. The orchids farm make for a heartwarming gift for that special someone," reads an excerpt from its website. 

Other than her orchid farm, Nyokabi also serves as a director at The Kenyatta Trust, which educates disadvantaged youth in academic, moral, spiritual, social, economic and life skills through the provision of financial aid, in the form of continued scholarships and mentorship.

Her niece Ngina Kenyatta, is also a director at the trust.
