  • Jomo Gecaga is not an uncommon name to many individuals as he serves as President Uhuru Kenyatta’s private secretary. 

    Many know him as the President’s loyal nephew who is always sitting standing or sitting close to the head of state.

    However, Jomo is more than Uhuru’s relative and has a rich heritage of his own. He is a descendant of both the Koinange and Kenyatta bloodlines.
