President Kenyatta’s niece Nana Gecaga has opened up on being an alcoholic during her youthful years. She spoke about struggling with alcoholism when she appeared on NTV’s Churchill show on Sunday.
Gecaga, who is now the Managing Director of Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC), says in the interview that she used to consume a crate of beer every day and a bottle of hard liquor on top of it.
‘’Well it was 24 beers that’s a crate a day and a half a bottle or full bottle of liquor,’’ says Gecaga.
She says she decided to quit taking alcohol at the age of 21 after living in the United Kingdom for about 10 years, a move that cost her many friends.
‘’It’s a very vicious circle, we all have challenges, we all have issues that we face, never judge a book by its cover. The one thing I can actually say to them is, tomorrow is another day and try to live or get to that day and never be ashamed or too proud to ask for support. Kenya has a lot of support and use it.” she says.
Gecaga recently celebrated her 40th birthday at a lavish invite-only, all-white party at the Billionaire Resort in Malindi.

@Anos, sure you don’t get it as you say! What do you mean by stating that, ” she had a lot of growing up to do”? You don’t have to understand the ” all white” party that’s secondary and not the main focus of this article. But if i may help, ” all-white” doesn’t insinuate white race, but rather a dressing code to the party (white clothing). It was her BD, she has all right to chose the theme of her special day.

@XG. Thanks for the clarification on the “all-white”. It’s not part of my vocabulary, so I may have made unjustified assumptions. I take back the later part of my comment.
