  1. This biography lacks panache and objectivity!
    First , Mr Kirubi is NOT the second richest Kenyan. Check your facts file.
    Second, your riposte fails the test of critical analysis of Mr Kirubi’s ethical performance whilst in public service and his role in corruption enterprises in this country since the 70s! Rest in peace until judgement day.

    1. Sure Paul, note that we had pointed that ‘He Was’ before his name got dropped off the list
