The file also brings out an issue that few Kenyans would believe: Government officials always refused — and in writing — to pay Kenyatta’s private bills and billed him for any service rendered to him. The swimming pool issue would lead to some war of words between Defence Minister, Dr Njoroge Mungai, and Kenyatta’s private secretary, Eliud Mathu. That would surprise those who think that there was a thin line between Kenyatta’s private life and presidency. This was because there were private plots next to Kenyatta’s and State House wanted the security of the President guaranteed. Duncanson would normally visit the plot, administer drugs and send the invoice to Kenyatta’s private secretary.
