Charles Wanyoike Rubia was the first African mayor of Nairobi. He later joined Parliament where he rose to the cabinet. In 1990, together with Hon. Kenneth Matiba, Rubia led the calls for multi-party democracy and was subsequently detained by President Daniel Arap Moi. He was released from detention after one year, and has been in poor health since.
He was an MP from Starehe Constituency in Nairobi from 1969 to 1988 [1].
