KENYA-Uhuru to pay bride price for his Maasai grandmother stolen from her home

- President Uhuru Kenyatta is set to head to Narok county to pay the bride price his later father did not pay for their Maasai matriarch, Mosana. 
- It turned out that their matriarch was a Maasai woman who was stolen from her home and married without paying bride price.
- Mosana would later give birth to Kungu Magana, the late Kenyatta’s father.
“Uhuru was named after his great grandfather, Muigai, and because he bears the same name, it is his responsibility to pay the bride price. He is determined to right the wrong committed to the Maasai community and settle an old debt. Mosana is the mother of our family and we respect her, that’s why we took time to trace her origin," said Captain (Rtd) Kungu as quoted in the Standard.
