President Moi and Finance Minister Simeon Nyachae in deep conversation
Simeon Nyachae’s chequered life can be captured in three words power, privilege and influence. It was the power and influence of money on the one hand and the politics and privilege that goes with the two on the other.
Sometimes the power threatened to slip through his fingers, consigning him into the secluded spaces of sorrow and solitude. Yet he only sojourned there temporarily before bouncing back into familiar territory. With varying degrees of success that has seen some of his progeny play significant roles on the national stage, his narrative and that of his family remains the story of a household that understands the meaning of power. It all began with the grand progenitor of the family, the late Senior Chief Musa Nyandusi.
