==Biography==
⚫
He was born in [[Nyaribari]], in [[Kisii County]] on 6 February 1932 to the then powerful colonial chief, [[Musa Nyandusi]]. Nyachae's earlier exposure to western education was facilitated by his own father, himself a mission-educated graduate who used his strong influence and acquaintance to the colonial administrators to be appointed chief. Born into a large [[Polygamy|polygamous]] family, Nyachae was fortunate that his father developed a particular liking for him, more than his elder brother James Oiruria, who apparently was less talkative and outgoing than Simon Nyachae. In 1941, his father put him in Nyanchwa [[Seventh-day Adventist Church|Seventh-day Adventist]] School and later in 1947, he joined Kereri Intermediate School. However two years later in 1949, he joined Kisii Government African School but in 1953, just a year before he sat for the then Ordinary Level School Certificate, he withdrew from the school and was employed at his father's chief's camp as a district clerk in 1954.<ref name="2R">{{cite web|date=2006 | url=http://info.mzalendo.com/person/simeon-nyachae/experience/ | title=Biography of Simeon Nyachae |publisher=Info.mzalendo.com | author=Info.mzalendo.com |access-date=7 June 2019 | location=Nairobi}}</ref> He later attended [[Torquay Academy]] and [[Churchill College, Cambridge]], both in the United Kingdom.{{cn|date=June 2019}}

Nyachae was born into a large [[Polygamy|polygamous]] family in [[Nyaribari]], [[Kisii County]], on 6 February 1932 to colonial chief [[Musa Nyandusi]] and the late Omongina Pauline Bosibori Nyandusi. In 1941, his father enrolled him in the Nyanchwa [[Seventh-day Adventist Church|Seventh-day Adventist]] School, and in 1947, he joined the Kereri Intermediate School. Two years later, in 1949, he joined the Kisii Government African School but withdrew in 1953, just a year before he was due to sit for the Ordinary Level School Certificate.

Simon Nyachae's long career in the civil service began at this point. However, in 1957, Nyachae's father realized that his son would be better off with higher education and that is why he arranged for his admission to study public administration in London. Upon his return to Kenya in 1960, Nyachae was posted as a District Officer in [[Kangundo]] Division and later returning to [[Churchill College]], [[Cambridge]] for a diploma course in public administration.

On his retirement from the civil service, Nyachae was arguably one of the richest and most prominent personalities from Kisii County.<ref name="1R"/> During his tenure in the civil service, he had used his influence to amass immense wealth, most of it corruptly. Being the richest man in the county enabled him to gain political power and influence. Using his wealth, he easily vied for and won a parliamentary seat in 1992.

Simeon Nyachae (6 February 1932 – 1 February 2021) was a Kenyan politician, government minister, and businessman from Kisii County.[1]

Simeon Nyachae’s net worth was $2.5 Billion by his death in 2021.

He invested in London, South Africa, Brazil, Zimbabwe, Australia and USA.

Early life and education

[edit]

Nyachae was born into a large polygamous family in Nyaribari, Kisii County, on 6 February 1932 to colonial chief Musa Nyandusi and the late Omongina Pauline Bosibori Nyandusi. In 1941, his father enrolled him in the Nyanchwa Seventh-day Adventist School, and in 1947, he joined the Kereri Intermediate School. Two years later, in 1949, he joined the Kisii Government African School but withdrew in 1953, just a year before he was due to sit for the Ordinary Level School Certificate. He then took up employment at his father's chief's camp as a district clerk.[2] He later attended Torquay Academy and Churchill College, Cambridge, both in the United Kingdom.[3]

Civil service

[edit]

Nyachae's career in the civil service began at this point. In 1957, he went to study public administration in London, returning to Kenya in 1960. Upon his return, Nyachae was posted as a district officer in Kangundo Division and later returned to Churchill College, Cambridge for a diploma course in public administration. He became a district commissioner by December 1963.[4] Upon his arrival back in Kenya in 1964, he went back to provincial administration and began to steadily rise up the ranks within the provincial administration, ending up with a position as a provincial commissioner from 1965 to 1979. He later served as the chief secretary in the civil service under the governments of Jomo Kenyatta and Daniel Arap Moi.[4]

Career in politics

[edit]

Upon his retirement from the civil service, Nyachae was arguably one of the most prominent personalities from Kisii County.[1] He won a parliamentary seat in 1992. His election in Nyaribari Chache Constituency was instrumental in his entry into the Moi government as a cabinet minister first for agriculture and later for finance.[5]

In 1999, he fell out of favor with Moi and resigned from the government after having been moved to the less influential Ministry of Industry. He also left the Kenya African National Union (KANU) to join the opposition, Ford–People, which was by then only a small party with roots in Central Kenya and three deputies in parliament.[6]

Ford–People

[edit]

Nyachae's plans to run for the presidency did not receive wide support, as the main opposition groups cooperated with Mwai Kibaki's Democratic Party to form the National Alliance of Kenya, which then teamed up with Raila Odinga's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) to form the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC).[6]

During the 2002 general elections, Nyachae did not succeed in his presidential bid, but was able to enter parliament with a 14-member Ford–People faction, having won all constituencies in Kisii. Besides KANU, Ford–People was the only sizeable opposition party in the 2002 parliament.[6]

Minister under Kibaki

[edit]

When president Mwai Kibaki's National Rainbow Coalition started to crumble, the support of Ford–People became more welcomed. In 2004, when president Kibaki was facing strong opposition from his cabinet, he recalled Nyachae to the government as the Minister for Energy and later the Minister for Roads.[6]

Nyachae was named in the Waki Report as one of the masterminds of the 2007–08 post-election violence in which more than 1,600 people died, as he was believed to have organised attacks on ODM opposition leaders.[7]

Nyachae unsuccessfully ran in the 2007 parliamentary elections. The opposition wave swept his Kisii stronghold and he was soundly defeated, as many government ministers and Ford–People candidates running for office were viewed as being tightly linked with him. In 2002, all the members of parliament were from Ford people party which was headed by Mr Nyachae.

Business

[edit]

Nyachae ran a chain of businesses ranging in nature from agriculture, banking, real estate, transportation and manufacturing.[1][8]

Personal life and family

[edit]

Prior to falling ill in 2018, Nyachae's family included five wives and over 20 children. His wives were the late Esther Nyaboke Nyachae, the late Drusilla Kerubo Nyachae, Martha Mwango Nyachae, Silvia Nyokabi (Divorced) and Grace Wamuyu Nyachae.[8] In April 2018, Nyachae tripped and fell at his home in the Loresho neighborhood in northwest Nairobi. He was initially admitted to The Nairobi Hospital for one week, but was then airlifted to London when he did not recover as expected.[9]

Nyachae died on 1 February 2021 at the age of 88, as reported by his family, five days short from his 89th birthday.[10]
