The President of Fence Sitters: Ndindi Nyoro, Kenya's Brightest Economic Mind
In Kenya's ever-shifting political landscape, where allegiances change faster than Nairobi traffic lights, one figure has mastered the art of being everywhere and nowhere at once. Meet Ndindi Nyoro—the Kiharu MP who has earned himself the unofficial title of "President of Fence Sitters," while simultaneously establishing his reputation as one of Kenya's most brilliant economic minds. His empire spans IT, financial services, and stock brokerage—credentials that positioned him to speak with authority on both policy and practice. Speaking at the CITAM Business Forum Expo in Nyeri on Saturday, August 6th, 2025 themed "Transformed to Transform.", Nyoro delivered what may be the most quotable economic advice of 2025: "Don't struggle to own the whole pond when you can own a piece of the ocean." In that single metaphor, Nyoro captured something profound about economic thinking that has resonated far beyond the conference halls of Nyeri. This isn't just business advice—it's a philosophy that explains why this 39-year-old economist-turned-politician has everyone from government insiders to opposition figures quietly singing his praises.
