@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!

Hashindi Mwau who has ksh 50B which Obama is eyeballing.

US$750m in US alone you forgot to add

before u put this comment, I used to "hold" you with much respect but now it has "gone " unless u retract!!!
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.
