In this December 1965 photo, Mama Ngina Kenyatta is accompanied by Kenya’s envoy to the US, Mr. B. Nabwera, to lay a wreath at JFK’s graveyard.
Mama Ngina had been among 44 passengers in the inaugural PanAm direct flight from Nairobi to Washington.

Bwana Village Sponsor, just a small correction sir. That PanAm flight was not NON-STOP as your post even acknowledges. The difference between it and the KQ one is that the latter is NON-STOP - a straight 15 hours in the air.
times have changed, new model aircraft have come, those days a non stop trip was not possible, point is, you could get to NY from NBO (as they calling it) without passing through Randan
Non-stop flight time from Dubai to Sydney is around 13 hours 45 minutes. Fastest one-stop flight between Dubai and Sydney takes close to 17 hours . However, some airlines could take as long as 39 hours based on the stopover destination and waiting duration.

Gathecha Muhoho, father to Ngina Kenyatta, was born in 1872 got into office at a time the colonial government was building stone houses for chiefs. The official mode of transport for grassroots administrators was a horse.
On white horse, he’d travel to Kiambu to attend to official duties. When at home, the horse would be tethered within the vast compound where the twelve houses for his wives were arranged in a row in order of seniority, a distance from his thingira from where he dispensed justice.
Muhoho undertook his duties without clashing with his employer for 38 years. However, he too was to taste the white man’s wrath when the State of Emergency was declared in 1952.
In the eyes of the government, he had committed an unforgivable crime for allowing his daughter, Ngina to marry Jomo Kenyatta. Following the script crafted for his own father Gathecha, the colonial government sacked him and replaced him with a close relative, Kinyua Gathecha who was his brother.
A great grand daughter, Ann Nyokabi Gathecha, the former Kiambu Woman Rep. is a descendant.
cant wait for thursday ni unleash new material never seen before
Non-stop means origin to final destination in one leg. It was Nairobi-Lagos-Monrovia-Dakar-JFK. You arrived and didn’t know whether you should be sleeping or waking up!!
