Nakuru County Governor Susan Kihika has returned to Kenya after spending several months abroad while on her maternity leave.
The county boss threw a party at her home upon arrival, with friends thronging in to welcome her together with her twins, who have since been identified as Jayden and Jonathan.
Taking to her official Facebook account on Friday, April 25, 2025, Kihika expressed her gratitude for the visit from her friends who went to welcome her home and celebrate the arrival of her twin babies.
She noted that their love, prayers, and presence meant the world to her and her family.
“Truly blessed and overwhelmed with gratitude. Was deeply humbled and honoured to receive a warm visit from my dear friends who came to welcome me home and celebrate the arrival of my twin babies.
“Your love, prayers, and presence mean the world to me and my family. Thank you for standing with me in this special season of double blessings. Truly, there is nothing like the bond of friendship and support in leadership. God bless you all! Love you all!” Kihika stated.
Kihika shares party photos
She also plastered photos of the attendees of the homecoming party, who included high-profile leaders, most of them allied to President William Ruto.
They included nominated Senator Veronica Maina, Molo Member of Parliament Kuria Kimani, Nakuru Town East MP Gavid Gikaria, his Nakuru Town West counterpart Samuel Arama, Gatundu North MP Elijah Njoroge Kururia, Kiambaa MP John Njuguna Wanjiku, and Dagoretti’s Beatrice Elachi.
Ruto’s Chief Economic Advisor at State House, Moses Kuria, also attended the event.
Kuria later took to social media to congratulate Kihika and her husband, Sam Mburu.
“Nothing beats this double bundle of joy. Not earthly things nor any position of power. Congratulations to my great friend Sam Mburu and your dear wife, Governor @susankihika. May Jayden and Jonathan grow to be a blessing to this nation,” Kuria wrote on X.
Others who attended the party include former nominated senator and businesswoman Millicent Omanga, among other guests.
Kihika stay abroad
Kihika’s stay in the United States had caused an outrage, with a Nakuru resident writing a letter to President Donald Trump, asking him to deport her following her prolonged stay in the country. Kihika holds dual citizenship of Kenya and the United States.
However, women senators came out to defend Kihika, who has been away from the country for over five months since she travelled to the United States.
