Businessman Jimi Wanjigi has been outed by the Daily Nation as a tenderprenuer who lives on the fast lane.

As if if that is not enough, his office is said to have a private restaurant with a dedicated chef where only his friends are allowed to dine.

But what gripped most readers’ minds is the revelation that all his children school at Geneva’s 135-year-old Institute Le Rosey – a shilling 10 million a year school, regarded as the most expensive.
