Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. I am well and enjoying my weekend at home as we celebrate Utamaduni Day (Moi Day),” Hon. Charles Njonjo.

The “Duke of Kabeteshire” as he is popularly referred to is known for his signature pinstripe bespoke suits and impeccable sense of fashion that not only denotes style but also class.
