Eric Kotut

Eric Kotut is a Kenyan businessman who was the fourth Central Bank governor, holding office from 1988 to 1993.[1]

He was appointed to the position because of his father's relationship with the then president of Kenya, Daniel arap Moi, as they went to the same church.[2]

He presided over the Goldenberg scandal that cost Kenya more than 10% of its annual GDP.[3] He succeeded in having his name struck out of the Bosire Report on the Goldenberg scandal by the High Court of Kenya in 2008.
