Most people steal money from gov and end up poor. They manage somehow to squander all of it. Kirubi used the loot from KENATC as the seed money and built a business empire. He certainly understood business, money, investments, politics and name it.
To keep successfully businesses lasting 40yrs is no joke.
He was a maverick in many ways including his refusal to re-marry.
A role model definitely for those who want to create and sustain business.
