Speaking in an interview with NTV, Uhuru said that the son had traveled to Mombasa where he went out and had fun with friends, only to come back to his grandmother. He wasn't happy with him because he was putting the lives of his family members at risk.

“I asked him a personal question after it was reported to me that he had done that. I asked him: ‘Fine, you’ve gone out, had your fun, and enjoyed yourself. But now you have come back and you are with your grandmother. Your grandmother is 80 years plus. If something happens to your grandmother as a result of what you have done, how will you live with yourself? Because you want to see your girlfriend or go see whatever?" he said.

Adding,

I told him it is not about me; it is not about listening to me. It is about how you will live with yourself.

Part of the Kenyattas' family members were in Mombasa when the lockdown was imposed. Uhuru's firstborn son and his wife Fiona recently welcomed their second-born child.
