Nation has this story : Kenyan ranch in the spotlight as widow seeks
Sh900bn inheritance. (

Back in those early days, I'd get a gig to design a sound system here
or there or do matv distribution for odd weekend jobs and sometimes it
landed me, through references, a few really nice short gigs. I
rememeber this ranch. Nation left out the private Lockheed L-1011
tristar plane that was fitted as a personal jet. And cheetah cubs
were like pets. Got to see my first tiger at that time. lol! :-))) But
what I remember most is the other name in the Nation Article. Some guy
called Khashoggi and company who owned Ol-Pejeta. This place had its
own 747-length landing/takeoff airstrip though I never saw it used the
very brief time I was there. Rumor had it that our KE Airforce which
is nearby had warned no craft to breach its zone but I guess when you
have a flying office and know the powers to be, there can always be an
exception. :-))))
We had some characters in our own backyard. Those days it was about
showing financial might, the biggest spenders and making your name on
Time Magazine Cover page.
If you have ever watched the old bond movies like moonraker and the
rest, you'd understand.
Nowadays, millionaries are thinking about saving energy and the world
through INNOVATION and the rest. Such a bore. :-))))
Post soon.
