Politics in Kenya is always associated with opulence and status and thus politicians strive to showcase this or work towards that.
From classy SUV vehicles to designer clothes and luxurious mansions, it is a fantasy that keeps their followers glued on their daily activities.
Back then Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika hosted former Senators she served with in the third Senate at her Nakuru, Ngata residence as Kenyans marvelled at the opulence and state-of-the-art mansion she owns.
The Kihika residence has atleast 3 mansions with the main house being the most exquisite.
The Main house which has two stories boasts a basement, underground floor and a fully functional attic.
The magnificent exterior architecture and expansive dimensions of the mansion give it the appearance of a five-star hotel, further demonstrating the Governor Kihika’s exquisite taste in interior design.
The mansion is surrounded by perfectly manicured lawns that would have one mistake it for a park.
The lush, neatly-trimmed grass all around the house makes the entire compound serene and aesthetic. The backyard is also grass-filled, making for a good chill-out spot.
Susan Kihika hails from Nakuru County and belongs to Kikuyu ethnicity community. She grew up in a large polygamous family and her mother, Alice, was her father’s second wife.
In addition, her late father, Kihika Kimani was a prominent politician during the late President Daniel Moi’s regime and over his lifetime sired 41 children.
From the corridors of power to business circles, her name and by extension, that of her family and husband are well-known.
1974 was a year of double blessing for influential KANU era politician, the late Dixon Kihika Kimani as he was not only elected to parliament, but also welcomed his daughter Susan Wakarura Kihika into his growing family.
