On July 19, 2021, Francis Atwoli, the Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) boss, celebrated his 71st birthday in style, but the real star of the show was his 23-year-old wife Mary Kilobi.
The exclusive and extravagant party took place at their Kajiado palatial home, with only family members and a few close friends in attendance.
Atwoli spared no expense, leasing a local band to sing for his wife on her special day. The celebration, which began early in the afternoon and lasted until 9.00 PM, was a testament to the couple's love and commitment to each other.
Mary Kilobi shared photos from the party on social media, accompanied by a heartfelt message expressing her gratitude for the love and support she receives from her husband.
"The birthday that was the fire. The 23-year-old turned a year older. Lord, I am very grateful. I am a #Psalms124:2Gem. MKA," she posted.
