She is known for her independent persona and her temper. In 2005 she received international media attention for storming into the offices of the East African Standard , a Kenyan newspaper, with her six bodyguards after taking issue with the paper's reporting of her disagreements with then outgoing World Bank director Moktar Diop of Senegal . Lucy Kibaki reportedly caused a scene at a late night farewell party held by Diop, who was renting a house owned by the Kibakis. Lucy Kibaki complained about the loudness of the music, with the band's speakers positioned near her fence. It is also reported that Lucy insulted Diop by shouting insults about his mother, and that Diop had to be restrained from retaliating. During her 'siege' at the Standard's office, she slapped a local TV cameraman, Cliford Derrick, of the Kenya Television Network , after warning him to stop filming her. Subsequent court proceedings against Lucy Kibaki for the incident were withdrawn by the Attorney General, Amos Wako . |
