I doubt that he can. Wanjiku Mugane is the man!

From the short description, I think Paul will go for me, too. Though I would be more convinced with what plans they have for our capital market and what new ideas could be in the kitchen from each candidate.

I would pick Wanjiku Mugane, she has the spirit of an entrepreneur having started her own company First Africa group she has the experience of raising funds and worked in boardrooms in equity where she was not a pushover and also EABL. The other two have not started and grown any companies spent all their time being bureaucrats and paper pushers. If this is the same Paul Mwai who used to be at old mutual then just another boring and colourless guy spent ten years portfolio mananger at BBK nothing eventful

In the words of Mary Kay Ash founder of Mary Kay products- "There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen(Wanjiku Mugane, MS,MBS), those who watch things happen(Paul Mwai) and those who wonder what happened(Rose Lumumba)."

This is a no brainer really, and I doubt Githae will spend moer than 30 minutes making the decision. Wanjiku Mugane's CV, experience, ability for this job, accomplishments, business acumen, likely value add completely overshadow everyone the other 2 candidates combined would ever bring to CMA. CMA is in need of a quantum leap in ideas product innovation and expansion of the capital markets. I even wonder how they got Wanjiku to apply for this job. I hope they will not embarass her like they did to Adan Mohamed by telling us Rose Mambo ranked ahead of Wanjiku in the technical interview or something of the sort. This is not even a competition. It's like having Usain Borot or Rudisha racing any of us in a sprint or 800 meters!

Stech got obesessed with playing police and robbers with brokers at the expense of growing the pie. We are worse off than when she came in everything that can go wrong went wrong. I can't recall any other CMA CEO tenure when murphy's law played out fully. Even teputy Jairman's reign was better.

Paul Mwai it is - Arguably nothing is more important to CMA than a CEO who understands the Kenyan market today from all perspectives - its challenges today and where it should be tomorrow. I have had the opportunity of watching Paul on CNBC talking about our Kenyan market, his knowledge is impressive and spot on and generated a lot of talk among my business peers here in SA - Well done, 1st Choice for the job!

Wanjiku Mugane ...she is best.

I would pick my friend or My relative after all it is Kenya, I cannot unilateraly disarm because I will have a competitive disadvantage if I follow the law when Kimunya and his group are appointing their people!

I would pick Wanjiku Mugane
