C&P
The man in charge of Kenya’s money has turned down the offer to live in an expansive home in Nairobi’s Muthaiga and ride in a motorcade.
Dr Patrick Ngugi Njoroge, who took over as Central Bank of Kenya governor last week, will instead be housed in communal accommodation in Nairobi’s Loresho estate with his fellow members of Opus Dei (Latin Work of God), an institution of the Catholic church.
Dr Njoroge, who is turning out to be a man of exemplary modesty, has also turned down an office-issued high end smart phone, a bevy of security guards and three cars.
Central Bank governors have at their disposal a Range Rover, Mercedes Benz and a VW Passat.
In a country where appointment to public office is associated with opulence, demand for higher pay and motorcades, Dr Njoroge’s decision to pass up a chance to live in a house on two acres located in the city’s most exclusive suburb is a rare one.
Had he taken up the offer, some of his neighbours would have been former President Mwai Kibaki, the US ambassador, British high commissioner and former Attorney General Charles Njonjo.
Wooooooi woooooi why does it rain in the sea??! Why are things given to those who don't need them?! Kama ni mimi I would still live with my Opus Dei brothers but I would still keep the mansion and the cars since they have already been bought and paid for. Then I would have three separate girlfriends, Wa Range Rover ni wa Friday, Wa Mercedes ni wa Sunday na wa Passat ni wa Wednesday. They would all be entertained at the mansion on their appointed days and they would never meet because they would all know that I live in Loresho with my Opus brothers.  madness re-loaded.
