When Simeon Nyachae retired from the Civil Service at the position of Chief Secretary at 55 years of age on February 6, 1987, his intention was to concentrate on managing his vast business empire.

In his Autobiography; Walking through the Corridors of Service Mzee Nyachae from on which this story is based, Nyachae said that politics was the last thing that he had in mind at the time having decided to take some time to rest before fully taking over the running of his many investment ventures across the country and abroad.
