Kenyatta's First Wife Died, Never a First Lady

Jomo Kenyatta's first wife, who he never divorced, died a few days ago, and barely a peep was heard. Her burial was attended by President Kibaki, along with a number of other political figures, including her co-wife's son turned presidential contender, Uhuru Kenyatta.

But it didn't make the front page, or even page two. As this Standard article shows, she was ignored by Kenyatta after he left for England (second wife), came back to Kenya (third wife, who died), and was finally freed from prison (fourth wife).
