To whom much is given, much is expected. That is Simon Wafubwa's yoke. Like his compatriot, the one from Cyrene, he seems to be carrying a lot of crosses. Black tax. Perfectionism. But, his woodiest cross is the financial institution which he has shouldered, Enwealth Financial Services, a multi-billion pension scheme. If there is any kind of burden there, he makes light of it.
Nairobi's burden is that often it resembles a city that is always working; thus, its citizens are either those who have made it or those who are in the process of making it. Simon says he is the latter. In 2011, he founded Enwealth Financial Services with just about Sh300,000 and a computer. In 12 years, the firm is now worth about $850 million. Not too shabby for someone who is making it, eh? In this city, he seems to say, you need faith to make it.
