Kenya's Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta is the son of Kenya's first president, Jomo Kenyatta, and heir to some of the largest land holdings in Kenya.

He owns at least 500,000 acres of prime land spread across the country. The land was acquired by his father in the 1960s and 1970s when the British colonial government and the World Bank funded a settlement transfer fund scheme that enabled government officials and wealthy Kenyans to acquire land from the British at very low prices.

Uhuru and his family also own Brookside Dairies, Kenya's largest dairy company, as well as stakes in popular television station K24 and a commercial bank in Nairobi, among other interests.

Maswali makuu kuhusu utajiri wa Uhuru Kenyatta:

• Uhuru utajiri wake ni kwa kunyakua ardhi toka kwa walowezi wa kizungu na kuwaacha maelfu ya wa-Kenya bila ardhi ni halali?
• Matajiri wenzie pamoja na mkenya mwingine ktk list ya FORBES utajiri wao ni ktk Construction industry, Oil Industry, Telecommunication Industry n.k, je Uhuru Kenyatta haonei aibu utajiri aliorithi toka kwa Mzee Kenyatta ni sawa na kumfukuza mlowezi mweupe na kumuingiza mkoloni mwaeusi Kenya?
• Mau Mau waliopigana vita vya kumgoa mkoloni mweupe sasa wamepata mkoloni mweusi, je hilo ni jambo la kujisifia?

In a country where the wealth of the country is concentrated in the hands of a few people ,that is a sign of acute inequality in income distribution; implicit in all this is that in such countries there are a multitude of poor people. Mfano mzuri ni U.S.A. where only 1% of the population control the vast wealth of the country!!

With 500,000 acres of land being held by one man little wonder bado kuna IDPs in Kenya.

Forbes magazine’s inaugural list of the 40 richest people in Africa put Nigeria’s Aliko Dangote as Africa’s richest man. Dangote with a stake in Dangote Cement and interests in flour milling and sugar refining, has a fortune of $10.1bn (£6.4bn).

The inaugural list puts South Africa’s Nicky Oppenheimer at number two with $6.5bn.

​

​

Two Kenyans Uhuru Kenyatta and Chris Kirubi appear on the list in the 26th and 31st position. Uhuru who is 50 years old has a fortune of $500 million (Sh45 billion) while Kirubi’s fortune is valued at $300million (Sh29 billion).

​

Chris Kirubi
​

The magazine ignored dispersed family fortunes, such as the Chandaria family of Kenya.

Forbes said it had reached the values using stock prices for publicly-traded companies and estimates of revenues or profits for the many privately-held businesses.

Forbes have their own benchmarks and you have to agree on the assessment, if you don't accept to be assessed there is no way you be in the list regardless of your fortunes.

The 40th person worth Tshs 450 billion (at USD 1=Tshs 1,800), we are talking guys like Rostam Aziz with more than 20 companies making more than 50 billion revenue a year each; talk of East Hides, Caspian, Habari Corp, Dowans, Vodacom, etc he should have been included if he had disclosed and agreed the assessment.
Bakhresa, Manji and Lowasa; I think they deserve to be in the list if the lowest has that figure, only that they have not disclosed their fortunes.

[h=1]Forbes releases African rich list... but don't expect to find any dictators on there[/h]
Aliko Dangote: Africa's richest person

Forbes magazine has been hard at work with its calculators to reveal Africa’s 40 richest people – but the list has been scrubbed clean of any dictators.

Top of the pile is Nigerian Aliko Dangote, head of food and cement company Dangote Group, with a net worth of $13.8billion (£8.7billion).

Many of the country’s dictators such as Kenya’s former president Daniel Arap Moi and Equatorial Guinea’s President Teodorin Obiang are also billionaires, but Forbes discounts them as much of their wealth comes from being in a position of power.

Forbes describes the list as ‘a testament to the growing global importance of the continent’.
The combined wealth of the 40 richest people in Africa is $64.9billion (£41billion) - and 16 of them are billionaires in their own right.
There are no women on the list at all and the richest men are based in just six of Africa's 47 countries - Kenya, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Nigeria, Morocco and Egypt.

Dangote’s wealth has shot up by a staggering 557 per cent in the past year alone, according to Forbes.

His Lagos-based company is Africa’s biggest cement manufacturer –and it also makes enormously popular food products such as noodles, spaghetti and milk.



Like any self-respecting high roller, 54-year-old Dangote likes to flash the cash. His 45th birthday present to himself, for instance, was a £28million bombardier aircraft, which he uses to pop over to London for meetings.

Power base: Dangote's wealthy company is based in the Nigerian capital, Lagos

Number two on the list is 66-year-old South African Nicky Oppenheimer, who has amassed a $6.5billion (£4.1billion) fortune through the lucrative diamond trade.

He took the helm of world famous De Beers in 1998, but sold a 40 per cent stake in the company to Anglo American, which was founded by his grandfather, for $5.1billion.

You’ll find the third wealthiest African in Egypt.

Nassef Sawiris has a net worth of $4.75billion (£3billion) and runs the country’s most valuable publicly-traded company – Orascom Construction Industries.

Fifty-year-old Sawiris makes a bit of extra cash through stakes in cement firm Lafarge and Texas Industries.

Completing the top five are Johann Rupert, the 61-year-old South African worth $4.7billion (£2.9billion) who heads Richemont, an umbrella company for the likes of Dunhill and Montblanc, and 58-year-old oil tycoon Nigerian Mike Adenuga who’s worth $4.3billion (£2.7billion).

Forbes never includes rulers in its rich lists, explaining that it’s hard to distinguish between wealth derived from entrepreneurship and that gained from being in high office.

It said: ‘Forbes has long separated rulers and dictators from our annual rankings of the World’s Billionaires, distinguishing between personal, entrepreneurial wealth and wealth derived largely from positions of power, where lines often blur between what is owned by the country and what is owned by the individual.’

Were dictators to be included in Africa’s rich list Daniel Arap Moi would undoubtedly be near the top.

He ruled Kenya for 28 years and diverted a billion dollars from the government’s bank account to his own personal one, according to risk consultancy company Kroll Associates.

Meanwhile, Egypt’s former President Hosni Mubarak has a fortune that Forbes puts at being ‘in the region of nine to 10 figures’.

However, it’s almost impossible to calculate his precise worth.

The magazine said: ‘It is almost certain that Mubarak diverted an enormous amount of his country’s funds into his personal piggy bank.’

Equatorial Guinea’s President Teodorin Obiang has a $600million fortune, according to Forbes, but it is convinced that a lot of this has also been amassed by siphoning off state funds.

Ebanae waasia huwa hawana mambo ya kujionyesha SSB zipo hapo bila kipangamizi na wote tunalikubali hilo mifano tunayo iona sikuzote orodha za matajiri duniani hutolewa lakini hatujawai kuona hatasikumoja mwarabu yumo wakati hao ndio wenye pesa chafu mfano niliwahi kuona kipindi cha mahojiano BBC na Ahemed al feayes baba yake na Dodi al feayes aliulizwa AC yake ambayo haipo kwenye mzunguko wa biashara ina kiasigani akasema hajui kwa muda huo nahata akimwambia hatokuwa kweli kwakuwa kila dakikamoja inaingia pesa kwenye AC yke na kasema asikudanganye mtu kuwa tajiri anaweza kusema anakiasi gani cha pesa bank huyo sitajiri. tajiri mtoto wa familia ya mfalme wa KSA ananot chafu lakini hata sikumoja hazijatajwa mifalamya urabuni inapesa njugu lakinihaisemwi ndio kama SSB kakaa kimya lakini kwa hii tunayoita AST ARC hakuna anaemzidi utajiri ni kash na raslimali sio shoo jamaa anakashi na raslimali pia

Yule ni mzalendo bwana, hana ubishoo wa kutaja alivyonavyo. Bakhresa angekuwa kama hawa vinyangalika wengine kutwa mashinda na media tungerest in peace. Kuna watu hawapendi attention za media. Hakuna mlipa kodi kama huyo bwana vinginevyo angeshafungiwa bidhaa zake.

Fikra potofu, ikisoma vitabu sana ukabase kwenye facts zao ni aina ya uzuzu. wengine ni wahangaikaji bwana siyo kwamba wana commit crime!!

I am beginning to wonder who actually owns Bakhressa group. Kwani haiwezekani akosekane katika matajiri 40 wa Africa. His annual turnover is more than $300 Million you wonder why he is not in the group wakati kuna matajiri wengine katika hio list wana mali ya milioni 300. His factory at NMC, Kipawa and Changombe are estimated to worth around $1 Billion yet he is not in list!!!! Ana Viwanda Malawi, Rwanda, Congo, Uganda and Zambia I think either Forbes are not doing their job correctly au kuna walakini mahali.

Who actually owns Bakhressa Group???
