Former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s daughter, Ngina Kenyatta, last year got married in a private wedding to Alex Mwai. Uhuru Kenyatta daughter husband Alex is the son of Sam Mwai, an accomplished figure in the sports and hospitality sectors, who has held positions including Chairman of the Sports Stadia Management Board (SSMB).
Also, General Manager of Karen Country Club, and, most recently, CEO of Maiyan Luxury Resort in Nanyuki, part of Centum Investment’s larger Maiyan development.
His son Alex, is, however, also an accomplished investor and corporate operator in his own right. He is currently the Investment Director at Hesabu Capital, a Nairobi-based Venture Capital (VC) firm that has invested in startups including Agritech platform Apollo Agriculture and social entrepreneurship startup Jibu – which enables individuals to set up water distribution franchises in African countries including Kenya.
Hesabu Capital is led by Kitili Mbathi as Managing Director. Mbathi has over 35 years of experience in Africa’s banking sector and currently also serves as Chairman of the banking group Stanbic Holdings’ board of directors in Kenya

As his father revealed in a July interview, Uhuru Kenyatta daughter husband has been in a relationship with Ngina Kenyatta for over 12 years.
“They’ve been together for more than 12 years, so it was inevitable that they would start a family at some point,” he told Business Daily.
