President Uhuru Kenyatta was born in October 26, 1961 at the Aga Khan Hospital in Nairobi where Mama Ngina Kenyatta was helped by one nurse Freda Shibonje who has now come out indicating how happy she is to have helped the former first lady deliver his first born son who later came to be the Kenya’s fourth president.
According to nurse Shibonje, “I was happy for the mother (Mama Ngina) since we had come a long way from the time we started attending to her while expecting the baby and when the moment came for her to deliver, I couldn’t wait to welcome her baby.”
In addition, “When the baby arrived, I was briefly overcome with emotion and the joy of a mother. I quickly picked him and held him in my hands, happy that everything had gone on smoothly.”
Nurse Freda further added saying that she worked closely worked with two other nurses; Naomi Muthoni and a one Mary whose another name she did not reveal at a VIP maternity ward at the health facility when at the time Mama Ngina gave birth.
The nurse said she would be happy to meet Uhuru and probably shake his hand, 57 years after she oversaw his delivery. Ms Shibonje is now retired.
