Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika and her husband, Sam Mburu, on Friday, April 11, unveiled photos of their newborn twins in a heartwarming family portrait.

Governor Kihika has been in the United States on maternity leave, despite still holding office as Nakuru County boss - a situation that had sparked speculation regarding the motive behind her extended stay abroad.

However, in a recently uploaded picture, Kihika seemingly put the rumours to rest by revealing the identity of her newborns.

In the touching image that has since circulated widely online, the couple is seen beaming with pride as they pose with their adorable twins.
