It is widely accepted that Nicholas Biwott did not acquire his vast wealth genuinely.
He was the big man at a time when corruption in government was the norm and on a massive scale. His name was linked to various scandals, and it was said that whenever a foreigner wanted to invest locally, Biwott had to be looped into the project and given a share.
As a result, Biwott grew into an incredibly wealthy man. Everyone knows he owns(or owned) Yaya Centre and a big chunk of Kenol Kobil. But his list of companies is as long as his scandals.
This list has been circulating on social media. We can’t determine its accuracy, but it gives you a sense of the man we’re dealing with. If Forbes included politicians with dubious money, Biwott surely should have been on that billionaires’ list.
