[h=2]Who are the richest kenyans?[/h]
I normally find a lot of people asking the question who are the richest people in kenya? and thought why not do some research concerning the topic and try to present what is believed to be kenyas richest or wealthiest people. Its anybodys guise that the 10 or 20 top richest people in Kenya are either past and present politicians who have looted public money or businessmen who majority of them were in one way or another connected to the government.
Even though it may be a challenge in uncovering the exact wealth of the richest people in Kenya due to their conservative nature of hiding how they actually became instant millionaires and billionaires in an overnight and evolving from rags to richness here below are estimates of what some of the richest people in Kenya could be worth. Note that all the millionaires and billionaires in Kenya are not covered in this article but hopefully I will be able to provide Kenyan rich list based on such things as business, politics, sports, athletics, media e.t.c but for now lets see a list of a 20 kenyan rich list.
Moi and family
Daniel moi (the second president of the republic of Kenya) together with his three sons Gideon, Raymond and Philip are said to be the richest individuals in Kenya.
