Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi is a proud father after his daughter graduated from a top Australian university. John Mbadi’s daughter Natalie graduated. On Wednesday, September 10, the former Suba South MP shared photos from Australia during the graduation. The images showed the smiling graduate, Natalie, in high spirits. In one photo, she sat among fellow graduates and turned to look at the camera. Other images showed Mbadi, his wife Roda, and Natalie proudly posing as she held her degree certificate. Natalie wore a gorgeous maroon dress and heels. There was a young man with them, but his identity is unknown. In the caption, the CS disclosed that his daughter attended Monash University, often ranked among the world’s top institutions.
According to Mbadi, his daughter studied law. “Alongside my spouse, Roda Mbadi, we had the honour of witnessing the conferment of our daughter, Ann Natalie Mbadi, who graduated with a Master of Laws in Labour and Employment Law at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.” Mbadi admitted that watching his daughter graduate was surreal. “Seeing her march gently down the aisle, up to the rostrum together with fellow graduands wasn’t just fulfilling; the moment invoked silent tears of parental love. Congratulations, Natalie, we are proud of you,” he wrote. In the comments section, numerous Kenyans wondered why she did not attend a local university. What did Kenyans say about John Mbadi? Kennedy Murithi Bundi: “Congratulations to your daughter.”
The Trend for 8 years: “Thank you” Patrickol Oluchiri: “Why wasn’t she taken to a Kenyan university?” Thomas Paris Omboga: “Guys, the funny part is that brilliant Kenyans can’t afford university fees.” Davis Odhiambo: “Can’t Kenya offer a Master of Laws, or did she just not achieve the threshold here for that admission?” Safan Gadiga: “Why didn’t you take her to Moi University?” Peter Omukaya: “And who’s that other guy? Or am I overthinking?” Ngala Kadhoka: “This is how I’ll be dressing for my children’s school meetings, just to embarrass them for no reason.”
