Wilfred Murungi, the owner of Mastermind Tobacco has passed on. RIP. Time for another succession/inheritance battle.
BBI will solve it :)

I hope he had a will. Mastermind was in debt "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

This guy was a true enterpreneur/hustler. But something was not going well in the last few years.
Read in the papers the company has been in serious financial trouble to the extent of struggling with staff salaries

If someone from the woodworks contests this will, it could take over 10 years in court and no resolution eventually. And if politics come in, the case will be bounced from one judge to another for years then the file will be "lost". So, what's the purpose of a will or any document in Kenya??? The best is to transfer the property (title/s, cash etc.) when you are still alive.

This will be a tough call for MTL. He had too much grip in daily management of the company. Likely to die sooner. In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

Sad? If that was his wish then good. People need to respect other people's wishes "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

When an individual dies it affects the community because it has lost one of its own. Therefore it is the height of absurdity to keep away your neighbours, nephews, nieces, clan members, local headman, chief, pastor, elders, friends, workers etc from your funeral. Can you imagine grandkids being refused to attend their grandpas funeral? You still remain a member of your village and clan even when you become a "reclusive" billionaire. A funeral is not a private affair. When you die the whole village and community grieves and they will only heal when they bury you. So chasing away the villagers is the wrong thing to do. I would like to hear Nchuri Nchekes take on this.

This man seems to have died a bitter man.Bitterbwith the world and especially Kenyans and the government.Not sure why Uhuru sent condolences given that it's his government that seemed ro have pushed the man to his death via KRA. If they did not want people to attend his funeral,they should not even have reported that he is dead. Yes it's good to respect people's wishes but why have such wishes in the first place. The community would have loved to say kwaheri as he was part of them.Its part of our way of doing things.Our norms and traditions. Love is beautiful and so are those who share it.With Love, Marriage is an amazing event in ones life time, the foundation of joy, happiness and success.

Even the wife was buried the same way so it seems to be a personal choice. All businesses should pay tax irregardless. By the way, ile pombe ya Sierra bado iko?

KRA was/is a big pain to Mastermind - they are demanding billions from them.. The man who marries a beautiful woman, and the farmer who grows corn by the roadside have the same problem

No. He started Mastermind after learning the ropes at BAT infact BAT tried to steal trade secrets from Mastermind, but he was a serial tax offender since Moi days.

I don't know if he was bitter or he just had something against death. Apparently, the man took a helicopter, went collected his wife's remains, flew the body to the burial place, left her body with the 40 selected family members invited to her burial and then flew off when the body was removed from the chopper without attending the funeral!, he did not wait or alight from the chopper. Strange? Hell ya!!

We need to start having such simple funerals without so much emotional & financial drain to the family. I support. In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen
