Simeon Nyachae (born 6 February 1932 in Nyaribari, Kisii District) is a Kenyan politician and ex-minister from Kisii District of Nyanza Province. ==Biography== He was born in 83 years ago at Nyaribari location on 6 Feb 1932 to the then powerful colonial chief of the location Musa Nyandusi. Nyachae's earlier exposure to western education was facilitated by his own father, himself a mission educated graduate who used his strong influence and acquittance to the colonial administrators to be appointed chief. Born into a large polygamous family, Nyachae was fortunate that his father developed a particular liking for him, more than his elder brother James Oiruria, who apparently was less talkative and outgoing than Simon Nyachae. In 1941 his father put him in Nyanchwa Seventh-day Adventist School and laterin 1947 he joined Kereri intermediate school. However, two years later in 1949, he joined Kisii Government African School but in 1953 just a year before he sat for the then Ordinary Level School Certificate, he withdrew from the school and was employed at his father's chief camp as a district clerk in 1954. Career Civil serrvant Thus Simon Nyachae's long career in the civil service began at this point. However, in 1957 Nyachae's father realised that his son would be better off with higher education and that is why he arranged for his admission to study Public administration in London. Upon his return to Kenya in 1960 Nyachae was posted as a District Officer in Kangundo Division and later returning to Churchill College, Cambridge for a diploma course in public administration. He became a District commissioner by December 1963.〔Daily Nation, 13 April 2003: 〕 Upon his return to Kenya in 1964 he went back to the Provincial administration and from this pointed through his aggressiveness, he steadily rose in the ladder within the Provincial Administration serving as Provincial Commissioner (between 1965–1979〔) and later chief secretary in the Civil Service, under the Kenyatta and Moi governments. Career in Politics On his retirement from the civil service, Nyachae was easily one of the most prominent personalities from Kisii. When he was elected to parliament 1992 in Nyaribari Chache Constituency this was instrumental in his entry into the Moi government as a powerful cabinet minister first for Agriculture, then 1998 for Finance. 1999 he fell out with Moi and resigned from the government after having been moved to the less influential ministry of Industry. He also left Kenya African National Union (KANU) to join the opposition FORD People, by then only a small party with some roots in Central Kenya and three deputies in parliament. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Simeon Nyachae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
