For one to make the list, they need to have a consistent digital presence.
“Many incredible economists are not active online, and as much as it would have been an absolute pleasure to include them, this is a list of people who have an influence on the web, with a click of a button, even if it means at 2 am with a Tweet,” Richtopia explained.
Listed on Strathmore profiles, Ndii holds a PhD from Oxford University.
He also holds a doctorate and master’s degrees in economics from the same university as well as master’s and bachelor’s degrees from the University of Nairobi.
The Rhodes Scholar and Eisenhower fellow co-founded the Institute of Economic Affairs, Kenya’s first independent policy think tank.
