KTN's Money and Power programme features Kenya's femme fatale of business, Tabitha Karanja. Her's is a David and Goliath type- story. When she first opened her distillery, many thought she was crazy to enter the brewing business which was then a monopoly of the East African Breweries Limited. The challenges were many, but she has managed to rise to become an industrialist while running a billion shilling brewer that's still growing. KTN's Cynthia Nyamai spoke to Tabitha Karanja about "the money and power".

Tabitha Karanja is founder and CEO of Keroche Breweries. She is one of Kenya's leading entrepreneurs, a remarkable trailblazer and an example of a woman made good against all the odds. Tabitha chose to venture where none before her had dared. She took on an 87-year-old business monopoly and entered an industry with a deeply entrenched male gender stereotype. Tabitha broke the mould to become Kenya’s first home-grown beer and alcoholic drink manufacturer. Today, her company's state-of-the-art factory produces 10,000 bottles of gin and ready-to-drink vodka, as well as 15,000 bottles of beer per hour.
