Abraham Ongenge's father had a habit of saying, when something needed to get done and done properly: let Abraham do it. He said it about chores. He said it about responsibility. He said it, eventually, about everything that mattered, until it became a prophecy about a man. If it’s got to get done, Abraham will do it. So, let Abraham do it.
One imagines those words echoing, years later, in the deep-carpeted rooms where difficult decisions are made, before the call came appointing him acting chief executive of Stanbic Bank Kenya.
