Great inspiring Lessons from Uhuru Kenyatta focuses on the life of Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta-including the various challenges which he encountered while growing up. It also seeks to shed light on another facet of Uhuru’s life, which many Kenyans may not know: and that is the fact that since his childhood, he has always sought to distance himself from his family’s privileged position, in favor of charting his own independent path to greatness. This was demonstrated quite clearly by the fact that after finishing his A ‘level studies at St.Mary’s Nairobi; he sought employment and landed a job as a teller at the Kenya Commercial Bank.
This revelation may come as a shocker to many people who may have assumed that the proverbial silver spoon was swinging his way the moment he came of age. What’s more, his knack for simplicity was again in play when in 1989 he opted, against all expectations, to form his own company Wiham Kenya Ltd, which dealt with the exportation of horticultural produce. Legend has it that Mr. Kenyatta would often pick the produce in his own pick up and transport them for export. What this means is that the widely held view that Uhuru Kenyatta never dropped a sweat for his wealth, does not hold any water. The son of Jomo has actually worked his way up the ladder of success through extreme determination, patience and hard work.
This book is therefore meant to be a wakeup call to all of us: students, teachers, parents and business people that we can significantly improve the status of our lives if we seek to internalize the 14 inspiring lessons from the life of Uhuru Kenyatta that have been revealed in this book.
