On Christmas Day, Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, Mukhisa Kituyi, spent quality time with his family at Diani Beach in Kenya.
Kituyi, a former Trade and Industry minister, took to social media to share a photo of his beautiful wife, Ling Kituyi, and their three children, Sitati, Laila, and Thor Masalule Kituyi.
"With our three children, we celebrate the beauty of Christmas at Kenya Diana Beach. Coconut water with a touch of rum," he captioned the photo.
Sitati, the co-founder of AfricanStockPhoto, a stock photography marketplace, is featured in the photo alongside her siblings.
The family's youngest child, Thor, has been making waves in the biking community with his impressive riding skills, which he developed at the tender age of six.
Laila, the second child, holds an undergraduate degree in psychology and a master's in public health policy from King's College London.
Kituyi's family has faced a significant loss in the past, with the passing of their eldest son, Ivar, in 2015 due to a diabetic attack.
"We always take it for granted that when we bring up our kids they will be there till we pass on. The children will see us to the grave, not the other way round. So to lose our eldest son at the young age of 30 has been extremely difficult to take. But our future is not always in our hands," Kituyi eulogized during a requiem mass.
