Honoring the life of Rev. Jesse Jackson (1941–2026), a steadfast champion of justice, equality and human dignity. From marching with Dr. King to founding the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, his voice lifted the marginalized and inspired generations.

I hope this will provide encouragement to all carrying heavy burdens in silence. @peter_88004/a-reflection-on-loss-identity-and-the-long-road-back-3522169ce7ac" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@peter_88004/a…

In Jan 2023, we took on a bold challenge — partnering with the Govt of Kenya, under H.E. @WilliamsRuto, to revive the Galana Kulalu Food Security Project through a PPP. At Selu, a 100% Kenyan company, we’re proving that when Africans believe in themselves, nothing is impossible.

Our investment in the Galana Kulalu Food Security Project in Kilifi and Tana River Counties is now bearing fruit. Today we begin the first major maize harvest on 330 acres, with each acre expected to yield 28 to 30 bags. Already, 1,500 acres have been planted. By the end of this year, a further 1,700 acres will be under cultivation, bringing the total to 5,400 acres. This progress, together with our broader agricultural reforms, is driving Kenya towards food security and enabling us to produce surplus for export.

It’s was great catch up with H.E. Abdullswamad S. Nassir, Governor of Mombasa County, as I continue to Chair the Board of the Mombasa Investment Corporation and explore ways to accelerate private sector investment in the county.

@lindakinyanjui We start harvesting in early October this year.

@njonjo2012 Great job...when can we expect to access the maize seeds?

Excited to share the work we are doing as Selu in Galana Kulalu, this has been over two years in the making and this I believe will start moving the needle on sustainable food security in Kenya.

@freekenyanwoman It’s hybrid maize.

@njonjo2012 GMO Lab?

@machar_png The seed will supply the maize seed deficit we have in Kenya. Sold to Kenyan small holder farmers.

@njonjo2012 Where does the produce go?

Today we mourn the passing of Mohammed Buhari, a son of Nigeria whose presence left an indelible mark. His memory will endure in the hearts of those he touched. Our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who grieve this profound loss. May his soul rest in peace. 🇳🇬🕊️

@njonjo2012 Interesting article. The work you’ve been doing has the ability to improve the live of millions of Africans. I was intrigued by one small detail. Why would the Samoans have a word for giraffe? According to one of their senior representatives they don’t.

As 2024 starts, I thought of sharing a few reflections of my entrepreneur journey. Happy reading. @peter_88004/finding-your-raison-detre-c1cb0c3065b0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@peter_88004/f…

I decided to share my reflections as an entrepreneur, after the successful restructuring and re-financing of Twiga. @peter_45493/twiga-my-lesson-on-resilience-in-entrepreneurship-5f2cb0ad4b3c" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@peter_45493/t…

Food spend by households: 1. Only 4 counties spend less than 50.0% of income on food - Nairobi, Mombasa, Kiambu & Kajiado 2. Counties in Western & Nyanza regions that are expected to have food spend about 2/3rds of income on food 3. Highest food expenditure is in Turkana (76.2%) and Wajir (71.0%)

@njonjo2012 @kotieno1 @ikatukhuingonga @SokoAnalyst "a common misconception is that Venture Capital = Investing in Startups. The conditions that make a company a potential 100x or 1000x investment return are so restrictive in scope that it only applies to a narrow subset of all startups out there." byfounders.vc/insights/vc-10…
