Every year, there are articles in the Kenyan papers about the whereabouts of the Rwandese genocide perpetrator, Felicien Kabuga. For years, people have believed that Kabuga was and probably still is, hiding somewhere in Kenya, but nobody can seem to find him.
However, while Kabuga’s name is well known on the world’s most wanted listed, [...]

What can I say? The Grand Regency Larceny hotel has been sold for 2 Billion shillings and Orengo was caught unawares. Poor Orengo. Did he actually believe the grand coalition illusion was real? (Did Ghosts buy this hotel?)
Like I’ve said before, Kibaki is now a dictator and at the presidential and executive level, [...]

Someone sent me this link of a fantastic interview with Felix Dennis, the founder of Maxim Magazine. In the interview, Dennis (who is a high school drop-out and self-made multimillionaire) essentially says that to become very wealthy, which he defines as having a net worth above $30 million dollars, you essentially have to be [...]

The name of the company is called Safi Fragrances. The founder of the company is called Nyakio Kamoche and you’ve probably seen some of [...]

I’ve been thinking about this whole outsourcing issue again (why am I so obsessed with this issue of outsourcing?). Anyway, I was thinking about this issue because for the past two weeks, I have been trying to work on this website and I got stuck. There were some things I needed to do [...]

This is a very poignant documentary on Rwanda and the roots that led to the genocide in 1994. However, it’s more than just about Rwanda. It’s about Africa and it’s about Africa’s history of colonialism, tribalism, poverty and bloodshed.
A few of my own observations from watching this documentary:
The historical grievances of the [...]

I want to get back to this issue of call centers in Kenya because I believe it’s still a virgin industry and one that has potential for growth. (also, I just can’t spend time talking about Safaricom shares. I mean, how many ways can you talk about whether a stock price is going [...]

I was breezing through Aly khan Satchu’s website and it has some very good tv interviews on there. You should all check them out if you get a chance. I’d recommend listening to the interview with the founder/CEO of East Africa Cables, Mugo Kibati (very sharp guy he is). I also enjoyed [...]

Forward this video to minute 1:00.
I’ was watching this video and I was astounded. If Raila Odinga (as much as I dislike him) is the prime minister and if he has a security detail supplied to him from Kenya’s elite Reece squad, his security men should have the right to accompany him everywhere he [...]

This company continues to amaze. The IPO raised $800 million dollars. That’s a whole lot of mucha-cha.
So, what do you think? Who were the biggest winners and who do you think were the biggest losers?
I’ll try and answer my own questions:
Biggest Winners:
The brokers and the millions of dollars in fee’s that they’ll collect from this [...]

Here is a video of the discussion of Africa from the World Economic Forum. It’s a long video and you can fast forward to the sections that interest you. Raila Odinga is on the panel, but in my view, the best speaker was the president of Malawi. The Ghanian president mentions the [...]

If this election is close, I don’t think I’ll be able to watch it without my stomach exploding. For the record, now that Obama is the nominee, I want him to win, but I’m soooooo nervous because the polls are soooooo close.
However, that’s not what I want to talk about in this piece. I want [...]

Merali’s two companies have issued profit warnings. He is blaming it on post-election violence, but why do I think it’s more than that? The CEO of his Sameer Group of companies has effectively been fired and because Merali is an astute businessman, he quickly replaced him with another Kikuyu.
Now, I don’t want people here to [...]

I have often wondered whether Raila Odinga has a never ending political curse hanging around his head. The idea that Kibaki will release suspects responsible for the murder, rape and burning of people’s homes is simply crazy.
I don’t know how others are viewing this amnesty issue, but this is my reading of it:
Raila Odinga aligned [...]
