Man Who Drove President Uhuru to School Asks Kenyatta Family to Reward Him with Land and a Car
Robert Mugo Mboi, the man who was employed to drive President Uhuru and his siblings to school, is pleading with the family to reward him for his services.
Mugo, a resident of Gatumbi village in Gichugu, Kirinyaga County, wants the family to give him a parcel of land and a car promised to him by Mzee Jomo Kenyatta before his death in 1978.
The 78-year-old retired GSU officer says he used to drop off and pick up Uhuru, his brother Muhoho and sister Nyokabi at St Mary’s School in Nairobi daily from Gatundu.
In an interview with Nation, the man expressed his desire to meet President Kenyatta to rekindle old memories and ask him to help his grandchildren, who are jobless.
"Kama ingewezekana tuonane hivi itakuwa vizuri Zaidi. I also have three grandchildren who are graduates but have no job. I would love to see them employed," Mugo told Nation.
Mugo says the last time he saw and met the president was during the election campaign in 2017.
"We met a Kianyaga. He asked me 'Have you met Mum?' I said 'I can't get there lest I be beaten. He told me, 'Give me your number.' The number was taken by his people and that got lost there," he added.
Mugo, who served as a GSU constable from 1966 to 1997, lives in a wooden structure with a cement foundation.

Wasn't he getting a salary from his employer, the Kenya police 🤔🤔
What is wrong with someone living in a wooden house...?? Whoever wrote this story sucks.
Was he not employed and paid to do the driving job? This is just to ridiculous. Why does he expect Uhuru to reward him for the job he was paid to do? Kenya kuna mambo!
Eeee, si hii wealthiest family in kenya i compensate huyu mzee. Kama ni dr Ruto already angekuwa na shamba. Repariate this mzee for child care ya the worst president in Kenya’s history—Uhuru
How did this story get to the media... Who called who?As much as I appreciate his sharing of personal relationship with the Kenyatta's,It would be unfair for all job seekers for his grand children to get employment based on his relationship with the president.Iam sure Mzee was paid for his services.However,if indeed he was promised apiece of land,I think Uhuru should own the promise.Hey throw in a car,or a truck for good measure.
Now I hope that this story does not open a flood gate
of similar requests from retired former drivers,maids,sex workers ,watchmen,cooks of current bourgeoisie ...
One good thing I can see coming from this story is that the rich and powerful,might be persuaded to draft good retirement packages for their "lower class workers".My two cents.
Comrade Maxiley,
I agree with you. It might, just might open the flood gate...
Can we just imagine all the ladies who used to entertain JOMO at GATUNDU?
Or, all the ladies who have given special services to all heads of state?
But, it Also highlights how poorly these folks are paid.
Yeap, "special services" are costly...
Mathafakas at mwakilishi stop suppressing our god damn comments cause you assholes don’t like it fuck you mwakilishi admn and fuck yo mommy too. Go to hell homo
Are you happy now that you have displayed you uncouth ignorance to the whole world? Btw Mwakilishi reserves the right to deny you to contribute here.
Nyaboke it pains me that am responding to you. That’s all I gotta say to you woman
Yeah...he probably used to yell and push the young president around and now expects some sort of reward
I don't want to sound ignorant on this matter, but,...
Mugo Mboi, worked as a civil servant in KENYA, who was earning his wages and retired indefinitely getting his retirement package.
I have no issues if KENYATTA family wants to reward him or not.
But this should be a good LESSON to all working. PLAN ON YOUR RETIREMENT.
DON'T EXPECT TO BE REWARDED AFTER YOU RETIRE BY THE FOLKS WHO EMPLOYED YOU OR YOUR CHILDREN.
All of us know at least one person who squandered and ENJOYED their earnings but after retirement, they want help.
What we need to understand is that, HELP IS GIVEN FREELY NOT FORCED.
GOOD LUCK MUGO.
He might have retired a junior and got into poverty due to medical bills and general poverty caused by massive corruption. Its not easy for a man to ask another man for help.
Stop assuming things you don’t know. It’s not Uhuru’s business to buy him anything or offer a job to his kins.
Nyaboke@ a driver without corruption is called a poverty job. Its not a living wage. Let Uhuru gift this man with massive stolen wealth over the decades Kenyattas have been milking Kenya. Kenya is a poverty stricken nation of a few billionaire elite. Uhuru must give in or live bloated like a whale
If the Kenyattas have to reward anyone who worked for them when Kenyatta senior was alive, the list would stretch to the moon. Then again most of them are now dead or are in the process of dying.
No need to comment on this! but this Mr. Collusion guy is using some unsavory language. If your posts are suppressed, may be you should start your own forum. Every civilized society has rules and regulations!
Personal responsibility. He worked and earned a salary. It was his responsibility to invest for his family and leave generational wealth to his family. We live in wooden houses here in USA. There is nothing wrong in living in a wooden house.
All you guys sound like Kenyan visitors from Mars.Mugo could not have saved anything if his policeman duties were only chauffeuring future Kenyan elite+++ gangsters.Mugo is not alone as even these days,90% of civil/public servants including the president,MPs,ministers,PSs must receive bribes bribes and loot to survive.After all,Mugo has a chance of politely demand what Uhuru’s family has stolen from him.WACHINE WIVU.MUGO ATAPATA YAKE YAKO IKIPOTEA.
