On Saturday, Bharat had been chosen by Bobย toย oversee his funeral plans, a roleย he took up soon after the corporate titan passed on.

Bob’s confidants also shed light on his private life and some of the memorable moments they shared.

The new captain first metย Collymore when he was introduced by Michael Joseph who has been appointed asย Safaricom’s Interim CEO.

He first thought Bob would be a good client, seeing that Bharat’s company did commercials for Safaricom but as life would later turn out, they became very close friends.

Oigara, on the other hand, met Bob when the deceased reach out after he (Oigara)ย became the youngest CEO of a bluechip company in 2012. They shared challenges of taking over leadership amid high expectations from Kenyans. Bob had taken over from Michael Joseph who had already done exploits at the firm.

On Koinage’s show, the group mulled over COTU Secretary Generalย FrancisAtwoli‘sย suggestion to write a biography for Bob since they had spent so much time together and hadย learned many important lessons from the person they called ‘captain’.

One narrative that featured in all theirย stories was how Bob was a humble man whose purpose he knew very well and pushed them to discover theirs.

They were impressed with how much impact the late CEO had made yet he only lived in Kenya for almost 10 years.
