Details Emerge as Uhuru and Ruto’s Photographer Reveals Why He Feared State House Assignment

Photographer Emmanuel Jambo has opened up about his experience working with former President Uhuru Kenyatta and President William Ruto, revealing details about his journey into the country’s highest political office.

Jambo is widely known for taking the official presidential portraits of both Uhuru and Ruto. His photography career has also involved working with several prominent personalities locally and internationally.

His relationship with the Kenyatta family began before Uhuru became president. He later became closely involved in Uhuru’s political campaigns, capturing important moments during the 2013 General Election.

After Uhuru assumed office, Jambo served as his official photographer, covering presidential engagements, official functions and other important occasions.

The assignment exposed him to the demanding environment of State House, where he had to maintain professionalism while documenting the activities of the president and other senior government officials.

Jambo later stepped away from the full-time position to concentrate on other photography projects, including fashion, travel and editorial work.

His professional relationship with Ruto also continued over the years. In 2022, he was selected to take Ruto’s official presidential portrait following his election victory.

The assignment further strengthened his reputation as a photographer who has worked closely with two Kenyan presidents.
