FAI AMARIO

There are many stories of the dramatic life of Amario who bought a gold casket for himself and went ahead to plan every detail of his burial before his passing.
He is also remembered for placing newspaper adverts on all prominent dailies to express his message of seeking a wife to marry.
With regards to matters of business, Amario is remembered as an ingenious alcohol distiller and winemaker who sponsored his learning in Israel to study the craft at the Wine Institute in Rehovot, nine kilometers from Tel Aviv.
He returned to Kenya and built a factory that employed over 200 people. The factory came up with brands like Pooler, Medusa, Amario’s Sherry, Uhuru 2000, Kata Pingu, Mahewa, and Cantata, which were distributed via his depots in Meru, Murang’a, Thika, and Naivasha.
He was then a subject of controversy and trouble when he was accused of murdering two of his employees in 1996. One of them was Gitau Karago, the deputy manager at one of his depots in Murang’a.
Karago is said to have called his boss sometime in late 1995 to inform him that Ksh 212,000 was missing from the company. Amario responded by sacking Karago together with Makimei Njoroge, the depot’s manager.
A week after his firing, Karago was found dead in Naivasha with a six-inch nail hammered into his head. Njoroge, who was unconscious, survived and identified Amario as one of the attackers.

What killed Amario

Some liver disease. The guy was ahead of his time a real hustler from Banana Kiambu, the guy who took on EABL before the era of kerochee, his epitaph song my way by frank sinatra was epic

He was a thug and a jailbird from Kiambu but he had unique entrepreneurial skills.

This is BS. He was just a man with elementary chemistry that mixed industrially produced cane ethanol, water and food colours and flavourings. Which fruit wine costs the price of a good shoe shine? Where were his vineyards…or pineapple plantations?

I read his story, kamiti Block D… from that book of his and guy was a murderer and used to sell body parts… That is if it wasn’t all fiction. He had a beautiful wife though, who doubled up as his fombe model.

I won’t speak much… I knew him personally ; my mother was his distributors in Nyahururu and surrounding towns

That was a story that was narrated to him while at the block. Tall tale but kama ni ukweli ngori sana kwanza part ya kudispose bodies…wueh! I have the book and have read it too.

Sikumpata lakini kijana yake Mike tumepiga biz naye mara kadhaa. Very many tales from him while you work.
