Virginia Edith Wambui Otieno (1936–2011),born Virginia Edith Wambui Waiyaki,who became Wambui Waiyaki Otieno Mbugua after her second marriage,and generally known as Wambui,was born into a prominent Kikuyu family and became a Kenyan activist,politician and writer. Wambui became prominent in 1987 because of a controversial legal fight between her and the clan of her Luo husband Silvano Melea Otieno over the right to bury Otieno. The case involved the tension between customary law and common law in modern-day Kenya in the case of an inter-tribal union. The various legal hearings this case stretched over more than five months and the final verdict suggested that a Kenyan African was presumed to adhere to the customs of the tribe they were born into unless they clearly and unequivocally broke all contact with it. As Otieno retained some rather tenuous links with his clan,they were awarded the right to bury him,ignoring Wambui's wishes. However,Wambui inherited most of her late husband's estate.

The two countries established relations in 1963,suspended ties temporarily in 1967,but ultimately re-established diplomatic relations in 1978.

While the robust trade,investment,and Chinese-led infrastructure projects have benefitted Kenya's overall development and have been labelled by both governments as "win-win" collaborations,local media and foreign analysts have increasingly criticized both the potential consequences of Kenya's loans from China as well as Kenya's overall economic dependence on foreign capital and products.
