3 Undisclosed Lessons From Karanja Kabage's Unpublished Book

The late City lawyer, Karanja Kabage (KK) was working on his biography before he met his untimely death.

The book, which he was to write with the help of Nation's journalist Kamau Ng'otho, was to be titled "From Elburgon to the World" after much deliberation.

This piece would consist of 9 sections, each with a specific aspect to address regarding Kabage's different life stages.

It was after settling on these sections,that the departed top lawyer suggested that he wanted the book to end with three lessons he learnt from the "school of life"

"He told me the first lesson is in what his father told him: That the sky is the limit to be what you want to be in life. He called it taking a mental flight to your desired destiny," Kamau Ng'otho recalled his talk with the late .

Lesson number two was that ones past shall always follow him/her to the present and future. Kabage drew his outline from US President Donald Trump’s nominee to the US Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh, who had trouble getting confirmation after allegations of sexual harassment against him when he was a teenager came up.

The nominee claimed he had no memory of such a thing; an account which KK refuted claiming no one ever forgets such incidences.

Kabage then issued his last lesson learnt from the kitchen of life.

One should always stick to what they do best. The lawyer, at this point, then shared that he would write about his political misgivings. He affirmed that he would write about his unsuccessful political attempts where he lost in his bid to be Nakuru's senator.

During their interactions, the late accomplished businessman cum lawyer revealed that his inspirational figure was the late American business icon, Lee Iaccoca, who wanted to vie for presidency at some point in his life.

Iacocca was however advised against it and told to stay in the boardroom where he was good at and he heeded the advice.

However, the book was never published as Kabage suffered a heart attack while driving his car in Nairobi and was laid to rest on July 12 in his Nakuru home.
