The story discusses the Kenyatta family, notably Uhuru Kenyatta, who has served as Kenya's president, and their involvement with offshore financial networks exposed in the Pandora Papers. It highlights the family's historical significance, being descendants of Jomo Kenyatta, Kenya's first president, and their wealth accumulated through various sectors, including dairy and banking.

In 2013, Uhuru Kenyatta became president, with supporters claiming his wealth made him immune to corruption. However, the Pandora Papers revealed a complex web of offshore companies and trusts linked to the Kenyattas, raising questions about the motivations for using such secrecy jurisdictions. Although the investigation found no direct evidence of corruption, the existence of these offshore entities suggests a desire to shield wealth from scrutiny.

The narrative traces the family's rise to power and wealth, beginning with Jomo Kenyatta’s rule, which saw significant land acquisitions and the concentration of wealth among a few elites. It also touches on the political dynamics during and after Jomo's presidency, including the corrupt practices that persisted under subsequent leaders.

The story emphasizes the implications of the Kenyatta family's offshore dealings for ordinary Kenyans, particularly regarding tax revenues and economic inequality. It concludes by suggesting that the revelations from the Pandora Papers could spark important conversations about wealth, governance, and accountability in Kenya as the country approaches new elections.
