On February 21, 2012, John Njoroge Michuki took his final bow and with him went an 80-year-old legacy of a man who rose from obscurity to the echelons of power and business influence.
At the time of his death, it is estimated that all the assets he owned and co-owned ran into billions of shillings. In fact, so indelible is his mark on the country’s economic landscape that a 2014 report, dubbed Wealth in Kenya, identified him as one of the wealthiest men in Kenya.
