Did he buy any of the land, or was it gifts/allocations? Even a moron can get rich in those circumstances... Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

add to the list...Landmark hotel in westland(?).. at leats 90% of his wealth is legally owned... but, ask me how he acquired the massive Landmark Multi Storey building right opposite Nairobi Hospital through extortion, when he was the minister for defence... ...besides, the presence of a safe alone does not signify that there is money inside...

I do not believe anyone can make such a fortune selling charcoal as he says otherwise there are some folk I have known to sell charcoal since I was a small boy and what they have to show for it is turning more black as the years go by.

@bwenyenye; Karume did NOT make his wealth by selling charcoal, NO!!! He started by selling charcoal and then moved to other things slowly... 60-odd years later, he is now worth billions. The fellows you mention who have been selling charcoal since you "were small" have no business being in business! Their failure should not be used as proof that one cannot start with charcoal and become a billionaire. That argument is illogical: it is like saying that no one can pass KCPE simply because no one in your village has ever passed! Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

@bwenyenye: See this story that I told last year... how a guy started off as a newspaper sub-vendor and now owns a "fleet" of two taxis... http://www.wazua.co.ke/f...aspx?g=posts&t=8854

I wonder why BO has not tried to take away Bill Gates wealth "The purpose of bureaucracy is to compensate for incompetence and lack of discipline." James Collins

It was quoted in article in the Daily Nation but knowing our so called journalist I wouldn't take the figure seriously. I'm not saying that a whole pharmacist can't accumulate such wealth, I'm just saying I HIGHLY doubt any form of research/back ground check went into it. Remember the 'journalists' repeating over and over that Raila's second hand hammer cost 40 million while even a ten year old knows you can go online to confirm how much a hammer would go for? Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

This is part of the reason why hooligans destroyed property in kenya during PEV crisis because some xters used to ask how people owned such properties yet they were not employed and were regarded thieves. my estate neighbors were such xters yet they were very educated. they always debated how our Landlord put up such an apartment yet he did not wear a tie.
