This never seems to happen with the Ndegwa's. Well organised folks who seem to never like having their kids running their businesses. They prefer serious professionals, hired by external consultants Etc.
Soon there may be nothing for these Tuskys kids to fight over Why did they want him out?? Alifanya nini? May be it was personal.The lady in green was on fire.Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned . Truth forever on the scaffold

Soon there may be nothing for these Tuskys kids to fight over Surely, what is the secret of the Ndegwa family? They are so discreet in their affairs and have stayed out of public eye despite being among the richest families in Kenya. One word- Education. You don't take kids to Wharton and they come back shouting haki yetu. true. helps expand world view methinks. the kids also acquire skills that allow them to live and be successful anywhere in the world without necessarily needing to rely on daddy's business. that confidence and fallback minimizes petty squabbles. All my friends are heathens, take it slow. Wait for them to ask you who you know. Please don't make any sudden moves.

Nope. Its control. Sure, a good education is important but we have seen good businesses run down by very well educated fellows. Control. Either you have a steel-willed, ironfisted taskmaster who keeps everyone in line -OR you have unimpeachable processes, checks and balances in place. One such is a rule that disagreements can only be abritated in private, not public and certainly not infront of the press. Make it inviolable, signed and enforcable in law, like an. NDA, anyone breaking it forfeits a percentage of profit or control or voting rights for a time. Hit the pocket hard, this wouldn't happen. Its just a matter of discipline. Thats my opinion.

It is said that save for land acquisition, Jomo was not really enterprising n that he left the family quite strained on liquidity. That wht we see now ni bidii ya Ngina n sons

Daddy created, mummy protects and nourishes for further growth If you are a parent you will know which of your kids can run your business or run down your empire. That's the reason why some parents decide to donate all the world to charity. Bill Gates decided to donate almost all his charity to philanthropy. Warren Buffet doesnt want to leave all of his property to his sons instead a good chunk to Melinda and Bill Gates Foundation. That's why some people choose to leave their wealth to dogs! Sounds mean but it tells you how some parents don't trust their wealth to their own kids linkKenyatta mzee was smart. If he left liquidity then there would be problem like the karumes, former kplc boss, .... kanyotu,.... But he left a seed (land) for his kids to do planting themselves (brookside and the rest) and experience the journey of growth as seed germinates.that's why you will never hear the Kenyatta's in court over land dispute. Mzee left strict land laws that he signed himself and no one should challenge in courts.

Maybe its a good thing that this family is fighting, they might break up and form other successful companies just like Naivas and Tuskys are the products of the disagreement between the brothers who owned the original Magic Supermarkets.
