The death of former Equity Bank boss John Mwangi Kagema has bared a well-guarded private life of a man who wielded a larger-than-life influence in the financial circles.

Survived by widow Beatrice Wanjiku and four grown-up children, Mr Kagema died on Boxing Day at the Aga Khan University Hospital after what family members described as “a long fight with ill-health”. He was aged 73.

“Our friendship grew and in him, I slowly identified a ruthless negotiator whose focus to realising Equity goals was unwavering. I helped where I could and I am happy for him even in his departure…He was indeed a role model on how to make investment decisions,” he says.

The former long-serving civil servant says he learnt from him “never be afraid to dream big even when the odds appear to be against you. This man showed me how”.
