A photo of retired President Mwai Kibaki's visit to his sister's home in Othaya, Nyeri County on Christmas Day has surfaced online, leaving Kenyans on social media reacting.
In the photo, Kibaki is seen seated outside his sister's compound together with his sister and others believed to be members of the family.
However, it's the state of his sister's home that has captured the eye of many Kenyans online, with majority questioning why she appeared to live in poverty while his brother is one of the wealthiest men in the country.
Owing to her brother's stature, Kenyans on social media expected she would be living in a big and modern house, but the photo shows she lives in a simple wooden structure with an old roof.
Here are some of the reactions from Kenyans online;
One user says: “The only thing I noticed from former president Mwai Kibaki‘s visit to her sister for Christmas is how poor her sister is. Yet some idiots are still singing how their tribes' mate must be president hoping it will make them richer.”
Joseph Njoroge notes: "Hiyo ni boma ya sister ya mtu alikuwa President...??? Hii economy ya kibaki nayo ni wanna."
Peter Kimondo notes: "The sister to Kibaki is the mother to Laikipia Governor."
