As a successful businessman, he feels a responsibility to the lagging tourism industry; and as a new grandfather and community elder in Kirinyaga, he is conscious of the legacy he will leave. "In some small way," he says, "we want to contribute to Kenya's future. The children of today are the leaders of tomorrow."
