I wake up at 5.30am, take a shower and dress up. I then see my children off to school before taking breakfast. I take heavy breakfast. Mostly I take Ugali and fish with a glass of juice to last me the whole day.
However, it is not always that my wife is able to prepare this. When she can't, I just take something light. After breakfast, I watch morning news and also check my Facebook page for political updates. I leave the house (Kilimani) at 7am and get to the office at around 7.30am.
When I get to the office, I go through all the daily newspapers. As a security firm, we deal with theft cases among others. The morning briefings can make or break my day.
I also go for staff meetings which take almost an hour. After that I check my emails and call potential and existing clients to make sure they are happy with our services.
I leave the office at around 11am for political meetings. I have very many friends in politics. These meetings are mostly about exchanging experiences.
That has motivated me to vie for a parliamentary seat. I foresee a situation where most of my time will dedicated to politics. That is why I already have a general manager to help me run the company in the event of becoming an MP.
After the political meetings which are normally held in various restaurants in town I visit a health club and immerse myself in a Jaccuzi or get into a Sauna.
Not unless I have a function to attend, I make sure that I am home before the 7pm news. Actually I only watch news and political debates. In fact I know nothing about movies. I then take dinner with my wife and children. I go to bed at around 10pm.
