Last year, the Star had six persons of the year. They are;

Okiya Omtatah . From chaining himself to the doors of offices of corrupt public officials over a decade ago, Omtatah has morphed into public litigant number one.

We have Global Teacher Prize winner Peter Tabichi and the brilliant legal mind that is Justice Mumbi Ngugi.

CBK Governor Patrick Njoroge is behind a raft of financial reforms this year. He tweets and can be outspoken about the government’s ballooning debt.

The Star honoured marathoner Eliud Kichoge, the GOAT (greatest of all time), as a true sports legend.

Our list also included rapper Khaligraph Jones, ICT innovators - The Restorers - and HIV researcher Benson Edagwa.
