Such investments are great. They can only bring more money for the locals. I like it when wealthy Americans of African heritage invest in Kenya. That is the same way Europe benefits from Americans of European heritage. As Kenyans, we need to welcome our fellow Africans “when they return home to live and invest”. One thing though: we don’t want “American ghetto culture”.

US R&B star Kelis has come under criticism for buying 300 acres near Lake Naivasha for under $200,000. Overlooking Mount Longonot and a wildlife park, she's developing a luxury wellness retreat and restaurant, employing locals and using solar fences to deter elephants. Some Locals call it land grabbing by wealthy foreigners, displacing locals and straining resources in Naivasha, a hotspot for foreign investors.

Yesterday, my colleague and I were attacked near Makongeni Police Station in Thika.
A group of goons descended on us. They violently assaulted us with kicks and blows.
In the chaos, I lost my laptop, phone, microphone, and other equipment. #June25th

@WillyAbuga Only buruburu, kahawa sukari, and a few other estates still retain communities. The rest of us community dies mostly after highschool as people move to settle huko rongai, juja, joska... Etc

The other day there was a conversation that people who’ve grown up in Nairobi will immediately identify someone who’s grown up in Ushago from their dressing & mannerisms, I hv no problem with that.
However there is something that I have often wanted to ask, forgive me for this..

@NationAfrica CJ Maranga is already being a politician - Lie to align with majority

Former CJ Maraga: If I was given the opportunity to govern this country, I would get everyone to obey the law. Everything will fall in place. The problem we have is corruption.

🚨🇯🇵 JAPAN ON TRACK FOR ‘EXTINCTION’
Japan’s birthrate crisis hit red alert, with Tohoku University’s Hiroshi Yoshida warning the country could literally vanish by 2720 - leaving just one child under 14.
A 2.3% drop in kids has sped up doomsday projections by 100 years, as deaths outpace births by nearly a million a year.
With 30% of Japan over 65, youth locked out of marriage, and a crushing recession, Yoshida says Japan could be the first to disappear.
Tokyo’s scrambling: dating apps, cash perks, four-day workweeks, and relaxed immigration laws - tripling foreign workers by 2040 - are all on the table.
Will it be too little, too late?

🚨🇯🇵JAPAN’S BIRTHS PLUNGE TO RECORD LOW Japan’s baby count crashed to a new low of 720,988 in 2024, down 5% from last year—marking 9 straight years of decline. With 1.62 million deaths, that’s 2 gone for every newborn, a population shrinking and aging fast. Ex-PM Fumio Kishida’s 2023 push to increase births flopped, despite a 2.2% marriage bump to 499,999—too little, too late after COVID's 2020 wedding nosedive. Japan’s fertility rate languishes at 1.20 from 2023—far from the 2.1 needed to stabilize its population. Source: Reuters

Kimisitu Sacco Society has taken a Kes 353.95 million impairment charge in 2024 on account of KUSCCO exposure.

AMREF Sacco's exposure to KUSCCO is Kes 90.0 million.

Mhasibu Sacco takes a Kes 480.6 million hit on account of KUSCCO.
The Sacco indicates that the amount related to a fixed deposit held at KUSCCO & matured on Jan 16th, 2024 but KUSCCO was unable to honour the withdrawal request.
This dividend/AGM season all members must seek visibility on their Sacco's exposure to KUSCCO.
English
@AmbokoJH Ukiona provision for impairment unajua baas hakuna dividend any time soon unless KUSCCO pays. But I also think their risks assessment was poor. Accountants’ Sacco surely 🤦
English
@AmbokoJH Too bad, I am in this Sacco, even us accountants can be scammed
English
@ElNickMagnifico @AmbokoJH 34M is the boards resolution for annual impairment. maybe to minimize the impact on the books and dividends in the short run. This being a sacco whose members are mostly accountants imetuangusa sana
