Eldoret farmer and politician Jackson Kibor is rich in both laughter, and wealth. He was in the news recently following his divorce from Josephine Jepkoech, his wife of over 50 years. Kibor, a friend of retired President Daniel arap Moi, has his vast wealth pegged on endless tracts of land and property.
But how did this former policeman amass all his wealth? Well, Kibor coined his fortunes playing darts, would you believe it? He narrated his rags to riches story by reminding
The Nairobian of those humble beginnings when “I used to take poles and firewood to school to pay fees, but when I was in Standard Five, they insisted on money - which I did not have. I dropped out. I never saw my father, and my mother died when I was very small.”
