Jomo Kenyatta Mausoleum

This guide to the Jomo Kenyatta Mausoleum in Nairobi opens with nine hours of silence on the morning of August 22, 1978, before the country was told its founding president had died. It traces the succession scramble that preceded his death, including a faction called the Kiambu Mafia who tried to block his vice president Daniel arap Moi from taking power, and the dispute that opened between Kenyatta's family and the government over where he should be buried.
