Peter Njenga: What I learnt from my polygamous family - VIDEO

When it started getting late, the kind of lateness that could potentially get you in trouble with the wife, Peter Njenga walked out of the bar. Home was still not any further than dawn. At the parking lot, he was befuddled to find his car missing. “The police towed it away,” shouted a security guy from the depths of his dark dank booth. At the police station, the police demanded that he open his boot because someone at the bar had reported “blood all over” his boot. When he popped it open, lying there was a goat that he had earlier bought from the butchery to take home and that he had all forgotten about. The cops stood there laughing at the goat. This was over 20 years ago when he was a wee lad and had not invited Jesus Christ into his life.

Now Engineer Njenga is the new chief executive officer of KenGen, having ascended to this position after 31 years in the energy sector. His previous post was General Manager for Infrastructure Development at Kenya Power. He is coming in at a time when the company seeks to increase baseload electricity generation in the next 10 years.
