Mama Jael Mbogo
A Biography — the Life, Courage and Lasting Legacy of Mama Jael Mbogo
by Makena Brandon · Published by Discussion Publishers · Sponsored by Utu Heritage
In October 2026, Makena Brandon sat down with Mama Jael at Porini Nature Sanctuary in Nanyuki and came back with a biography written in her honour. Drawing on published interviews, newspaper reports and academic research — with the disagreements between sources stated openly — it follows her life chapter by chapter: education, early career, the 1969 and 1974 elections, the 1979 KANU elections, FORD and multi-party politics, the honours she has received, and one closing question: has she been celebrated enough?
