After gracefully retiring, former President Kibaki has kept a relatively busy schedule unlike his wife Lucy – the former first lady – when in her true abrasive element. The last public official function Lucy attended was on August 27, 2010 during the promulgation of the Constitution at Uhuru Park. The event was attended by both local and foreign dignitaries who graced the historic occasion, which provided the Kibaki family the rare opportunity of leading the nation in ushering in a new set of laws. Since then, nothing much has been heard about Lucy, known for being outspoken on family and national issues. Her close family, relatives and friends have maintained silence leaving public guessing. Yet the least-guarded secret in town, and a source of wild grapevine, that she could be in poor health — a situation nobody dares publicly talk about or admit. If really in good health, it could be uncharacteristic for Mrs Kibaki to maintain such a low profile, and for a long time. ‘Lucy is unwell’ She could not have given a wide berth the swearing in ceremony of third President Uhuru Kenyatta at the Kasarani Stadium last April 9. It was also anticipated that Lucy could be available to hand over the reins of office to her successor, Margaret Kenyatta.
