On September 13, 2019, Senator Beth Mugo celebrated a remarkable milestone with her husband Nicholas Mugo, marking 61 years of marriage. The occasion was also a celebration of her 80th birthday, having become an octogenarian in July.
The ceremony took place at their family home in Kitisuru, Nairobi, with guests including family members, friends, and dignitaries. President Uhuru Kenyatta presided over the ceremony, leading the family and friends to dinner and cake cutting.
Reminiscing on her marriage, Beth Mugo, a former Dagoretti MP, attributed her long marriage to tolerance and communication. She emphasized the importance of dialogue in solving conflicts, saying, 'In all my married life, I have known that no conflict or disagreement is too big to be overcome by dialogue. Nick and I have always known that dialogue is the only way to solve things.'
Beth Mugo also shared a touching story of how Nicholas Mugo won her heart, saying, 'He told me that loved me and that I’m the only girl that he ever loved.'
The couple has four children and five grandchildren. As part of the celebrations, free screening camps were held on Saturday and Sunday at St. Andrews church in Nairobi to raise funds for Beth Mugo's cancer foundation.
