<h1>Kenyan billionaire Manu Chandaria is estimated to be worth a whopping Sh200 billion.</h1>

With an entire multi-billion empire attached to his name and coveted by many, Mr Chandaria only owns five suits.

You would think that a man who has amassed such great wealth will be owning all the designer suits the world has to offer. But no, not Manu!

Speaking during an interview on Jeff Koinange Live (JKL) on Wednesday night, Mr Chandaria said that he only owns five suits, three jackets and five pairs of shoes.

The 90-year-old has made it a habit to donates his suit each time he purchases a new one to keenly make sure that he is only left with five.

"My wardrobe has five suits. One new comes in, one goes out. I give it out. It's a lesson about giving. I learnt it from Gandhi. I followed Gandhi when I was in the University. I accepted everything he told us. He led a very simple life," he said.

Chandaria, a well-known philanthropist, emulates Indian activist Mahatma Gandhi, who believed that it was better for men to seek simpler pleasure than greater wealth.

The businessman also learnt to be generous from Roman Catholic nun Mother Teresa who he revealed was a frequent guest at their home.

"Mother Teresa was a friend of ours. She came to our house four times. She taught us a lot about prayer," he said. "Giving is simple when you want to give. It's easy to give when you feel the pain of other," he added.

The owner of Chandaria Industries Limited describes himself as a simple man who does not engage in luxurious activities.

“My life is simple, I do not eat meat, chicken. The point is how do you keep simple?” he noted.

Revelations of a Kenyan billionaire

Why Kenyan billionaire Manu Chandaria only owns 5 suits

<h1>A banker at CFC Stanbic Bank, Nyali Branch was beaten to death by five security guards for allegedly urinating at Nyali Centre’s parking lot.</h1>

David Wokabi was attacked by the Solvit security guards on January 7 at around 3 am after relieving himself near a club at the Centre.

The 35-year-old <a id="a929bc85-d410-5da7-841e-361983f9c3af" href="http://www.pulselive.co.ke/news/world/devil-incarnate-young-girl-beaten-to-death-remains-dumped-in-fish-pond-id5712910.html">was assaulted and left to die but was rushed to the hospital</a>. However, he died a week after he was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Aga Khan Hospital in Mombasa.

“I went there and saw my husband lying unconsciously. We took him to Aga Khan Hospital where he spent a week without telling me a word until he died. To date, I do not know why he had to die. The guard knew him well I wonder why they beat him?" Wokabis wife, Grace was quoted by the Nation as saying.

CCTV footage show the guards approaching Wokabi as he is driving out of the parking lot. They then forcefully pull him out of his vehicle and begin clobbering him.

Mombasa Country Police Commander Johnstone Ipara divulged the incident was reported at the station.

In a report by the Standard, Mr. Ipara said: “A report was made at the police station of a man who had been assaulted by four security guards and two suspects have been arrested”.

Postmortem results show that the father of two succumbed to severe injuries to the brain. Wokabi also had three cuts on his head and one on his neck.

So far two of the guard linked to the brutal attack were arrested and charged at Shanzu Law court. They were then remanded at Shimo La Tewa maximum prison.

Three are still at large and police are pursuing them.
