Laban-Cliff, MBA, CSA

In 2007, as a young boy from my hometown of Nakuru, I moved to Nairobi seeking quality University Education. I chose Strathmore University Business School to pursue my Bachelor of Commerce Degree. An attitude of gratitude: honestly looking back at my family, career strides, networks, and opportunities at hand this did not all come by fluke. I’m grateful to Strathmore for "sprucing me up" for the World ahead. Thank you Strathmore Fraternity & special shout out to all SU Alumni & Friends. Here’s a snapshot of my SU Journey... #GoPlaceswithSU @StrathU @SBSKenya

Look out for drivers powered by Shell at Safo next week, especially Rajveer Thety and Laban Cliff. ⛽🚗💪🏾

Access to finance remains one of the strongest drivers of enterprise growth, job creation and poverty reduction across Africa. Engaged leadership from the African Guarantee Fund, a specialised guarantee institution supporting economic development by unlocking credit for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises across the continent. We reviewed AGF’s expanding footprint in 44 African countries and its strong track record in supporting SMEs through innovative guarantee products and capacity-building partnerships with financial institutions. Their model continues to strengthen Africa’s financing ecosystem while upholding high standards within the sector. The delegation was led by Interim Group CEO Mr. Constant N’ZI, Group Chief Finance Officer Mrs. Daisy Wanjie and Group Director for Human Resources Mr. Allan Akoko, as we explored deeper collaboration to accelerate enterprise growth and inclusive prosperity in Kenya and beyond.

Launch night for Beyond the Ballot carried weight. African voices spoke with force about power beyond elections, narrative as leverage, soft power as currency, and trust as leadership’s backbone. Votes are counted in a day. Trust is built daily. @SingoeiAKorir @ThebeIkalafeng @nkosi_milton @ForeignOfficeKE @LuolDeng9 @didierdrogba

It is disappointing to see the politicisation of Kenya’s counter terrorism effort.There are many things we can drop the ball on, but this should never be one of them. Irrespective of how we view our domestic politics, Kenya has not stopped being a frontline State in the fight against violent extremism! In-fact , given developments in our region, we are tasked to be more vigilant than ever. There is a world in which civil society concerns can be addressed without undermining the operations of those tasked to protect us , our freedoms and our way of life.Take it from me , whatever other sins our security services may be guilty of , I know first hand that extraordinary sacrifices have been made by men and women who will never be celebrated or publicly acknowledged. Let us leave them to do their work , where they go wrong , let’s deal with the wrong doers as individuals and work towards improving the system , not destroying it.

Great Casablanca lunch conversations with KCB’s @kcbgroup @KCBInKenya Eric Naivasha & Lawrence Kimathi with my fellow journos, Julians Amboko @AmbokoJH & Ramah Nyang @Ramah_Nyang at the @AGF_Group Stand #AFIS2025. 🇲🇦

As a young @ntvkenya business reporter I was assigned to cover the inaugural Kisii Investment Summit, now Nyanza Investment Summit. Here I had a chance to interview Baba @RailaOdinga LIVE on TV. Even as this went on, you could feel the greatness around this ENIGMA from his people. Go well Jakom, I salute you. #Jowi

As the sad news broke on the passing of Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga, @YvonneOkwara was on stage & led us in observing a moment of silence for the fallen icon.
