Nairobi, Nov. 12 -- Bankers, it would seem, tread with padded paws. Moving without disturbing the air too much. Michael Mutiga talks like that. Measured. Each word set down gently, like a glass on a table in someone else's house. Or how you close the door to the room of a sleeping baby.

He has been CEO of Stanbic Bank Kenya for a few months, long enough to feel the weight of it, not long enough to know everyone who knows him.
