He is the only Chief on Twitter.I personally like this guy.He is simply amazing. Chief Francis Kariuki or,@Chiefkariuki, as he’s known online — tweets to defeat thugs and thieves, locate missing children and farm animals, and organize village logistical matters.
His Twitter account is so popular that, he says, even the thieves in his village follow him.
He has talked to CNN, Associated Press, BBC, Daily Telegraph and e-Africa, all this is thanks to the tech-savvy chief’s innovative use of Twitter to fight crime.

  1. Mbugua Njihia and Evance Muriu do not belong here. Mbugua is using media and blogs to give himself credit yet he and his company have little to show for it. I keep seeing his name on news websites and blogs but can't see any meaningful product or achievement. He is just a kawaida hustler looking for money for his own benefit like the rest of us. There are other individuals who run more successful Kenyan IT companies and hire more Kenyans than his company.

    Evance Muriu looks just another wannabe looking for fame. I have seen his website. There are more successful businessmen in Kenya. We all know non-profits are the largest profit making organisations in Kenya.

    As for the rest, they deserve to be on this list. I think u are just looking to get on the good side of these folks for personal reasons.

    1. I agree with you that some guys tend to make money out of these NGO's but i think Evans is doing a good job.Especially with the Wanadamu Initiative.

      For Mbugua Njihia, Give credit where it's due.Everyone is out there to make a living and he is doing fairly well.
      I didn't blog about them for personal reasons.
