I was a young salesman when I rented an office at International House (then International Life House). All the money I was making went to paying my rent and other utilities. However, time came for the landlords who were British to return to their country. They needed a Manager, someone to manage the property, collect the rent and send it to them. Without thinking twice I seized the opportunity.
Regardless of whether I was qualified to take up the job or not, I knew I had an upper hand because of my cordial relations with the owners. I made them an offer and during that period they were able to evaluate me and eventually appoint me as a Manager on a full time basis. I knew this was going to be my breakthrough, my money maker, my game changer, so I worked as though my life depended on it and a few years down the line, I purchased the building.
One ‘small’ opportunity turned my life around.

@ProverB your defence of Centum and the DJ is impenetrable. Time for you to declare your interest in either...

Those accolades might have been from @obiero. None of the two purchases have been off the usual sceptical view by wazuans. He may have fooled Uchumi investors then, but now, we are alert.

Kenya right now is different than then . Anything little you do there will be media coverage ,there will be Internet to watch you and also any secret dealings will be noted by the number of stocks sold. During the yester years things were casual reporting and no Internet back ups. Should that "uchumi" sinister move tried to be pulled up again then he will be caught before he realizes
