Kenya’s richest: Who are they & how did they make their money?

I “pimped” this list from another blog(sorry!)- feel free to add or dispute the sources of wealth for the individuals listed below. What I find interesting is that none of the names on this list can be found on the Forbes 400 richest. The only Africans on that list are the De beers of South Africa.

If you have a rich uncle and you thought he should be on the list then you need to think again, if he aint here, he's a wanna be who aint gonna be.
