The Kenyatta family has for years been considered the most powerful family in Kenya but as it turns out, the bloodline has also made its effect felt across the world.
In a November 2016 profile of the family done by The Standard, President Uhuru's sister, Margaret Rose Wambui, stands out as the woman who made history by becoming the first-ever female ambassador.
Born in 1928, Wambui was considered Mzee Jomo Kenyatta's favourite daughter who worked hard to land the ambassadorship of the United Nations Environment Programme for 10 years between 1976 and 1986.
Daily Nation reported on April 2015 that Wambui was a powerful figure in her father's government and also served as the then president's confidant.
She worked as the mayor of Nairobi from 1970 to 1976 where she is credited for sprucing up the city estates with tarmac and street lights.
She, however, did not have the luxury of leading a childhood life with her father by her side as he exiled to Sussex in UK during the Second World War.
Wambui stated in previous interviews that she only knew her father through family pictures since he left while she was still a toddler and returned when she attained 16 years.
She acquired her education at Ruthimitu Primary School before joining Alliance High School in 1947 and later attending Githunguri Teachers Training School, where her father taught.
Wambui joined politics when she served as her father's trusted aide when he launched a vicious campaign to strengthen Kenya African Union into a national movement.
When her father was arrested shortly after, she got adopted by Ambu Patel who was popular for giving Jomo his famous Jacket.
In the 'Release Jomo Kenyatta' campaigns that followed, Wambui acted as the main contact between her father and Patel who was organising the demos.
When KANU was formed after Jomo's release, Wambui got elected as the secretary for Kiambu from where she worked diligently to make history at the UN who passed away in April 2017.
