What you need to know:

  • This week, a Kigali court found Kinuthia guilty of swindling Rwandans of money in fees (Sh500) for the event that never took place.
  • Kinuthia has previously said that he owns a software company “and several other companies here and there that we run around the world”, without divulging details.
  • But even more spectacular is how, in 10 short years, Kinuthia transitioned from a jobless immigrant to a globe-trotting trainer, who gives talks to entrepreneurs on wealth fitness.
