Before his retirement, Manilal Premchand Chandaria led the Comcraft Group of Companies, a conglomerate with annual returns of Sh200 billion. The 90-year-old billionaire sat down for tea with David Odongo
If I gave you Sh1,000 right now, what would you do with it?
Mmh…1,000. Today I went to shave and spent Sh500 at the barber shop, then I tipped him Sh100. I then paid Sh50 for parking. Sh650 just gone like that.
But money should never be a priority. It’s what you do with it that makes a difference. Use the money to do some good. Bring a smile to someone’s face, even if you can’t take away their pain, give them a relief, or a reason to smile.

Police in Nairobi are investigating the raiding of industrialist and philanthropist Dr Manu Chandaria s home Sunday night.
A police report from Muthaiga Police Station notes the businessman and his wife heard a loud bang at the main door and immediately rang the security personnel but his call went unanswered. After that, the couple saw two thugs one carrying a pistol and the other carrying a metal cutter.
“They ordered the reportee [sic] and his wife to give them money at gunpoint. He showed them the safe where they broke it and took away an unknown amount of money and some pieces of jewellery. They then left the house while firing using a G3 rifle,” reads part of the report.
