At the 60th anniversary of the Central Bank of Kenya celebrations, Institute of Monetary Studies in Nairobi.

Today, that work is reflected in a more stable exchange rate, with the shilling trading at about KSh129 to the US dollar; inflation moderating to 6.6 per cent in August; and our foreign exchange reserves reaching a historic high of $15.25 billion.

Having secured this foundation of stability; it is now time to translate it into tangible benefits for ordinary Kenyans.

[Centum Investment @CentumPLC]

Today, we announce a significant leadership milestone. After nearly 18 years of transformational stewardship, Dr. James Mworia will step down as Group CEO & Managing Director to take on a new role as the founding CEO of the National Infrastructure Fund (NIF).

@MworiaJ 's tenure has been nothing short of legendary. Under his leadership, Centum evolved from a local investment firm into East Africa’s premier diversified investment platform.

To ensure strategic continuity, the Board has appointed Mr. Thomas Omondi-Achola as Acting Group CEO.

@achola_omondi has been instrumental in our success over the last eight years as Group COO, leading value creation and exits across our portfolio. His appointment reflects the strength of our corporate succession plan and our dedication to operational excellence.

As we honor a defining chapter in Centum’s journey, we look ahead with confidence to the next.

[Korir Sing'Oei @SingoeiAKorir]

Congratulations Dr. @MworiaJ on this consequential appointment as the Founding CEO of Kenya’s Infrastructure Fund. Godspeed.

[Centum Investment @CentumPLC]

🇰🇪 Proud to congratulate our Group CEO, @MworiaJ on his appointment to the National Infrastructure Fund Board.

A well-deserved recognition of his leadership, vision, and commitment to Kenya's growth.

Success comes to those who become success conscious & so does Failure too come to those who indifferently allow themselves to become failure conscious.

[Mwau Brian @brian_mwau]

Opportunities have a sly habit of slipping in by the back door, and often come disguised in the form of misfortune or temporary defeat. Perhaps this is why so many fail to recognize them.

Thank you, @bitcoinnairobi_conf @cioafrica & my Senior, Talo Africa Chairman, Robert Kirubi, for the opportunity to share insights and demystify the role and impact of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in Africa.

It was a privilege to discuss how SEZs are driving investment, creating jobs, accelerating innovation, and positioning African economies as competitive players in the global digital and services marketplace.

I appreciate the engaging conversations and the shared commitment to building a more prosperous and inclusive future for the continent.

[William Samoei Ruto, PhD @WilliamsRuto]

Ahead of the Finland–Kenya Business Forum in Helsinki, I met with business leaders shaping Kenya’s digital future who are joining my delegation to engage with their Finnish counterparts.

The delegation brings together leading actors from Kenya’s technology, connectivity, data infrastructure, financial services and investment sectors. Collectively, they represent the innovation, capital and expertise driving Kenya’s emergence as a leading innovation and technology hub on the African continent.

Our discussions focused on strengthening partnerships that expand digital infrastructure, accelerate innovation, attract investment and unlock new opportunities for businesses and citizens. Kenya comes to Finland with a clear commitment to building mutually beneficial partnerships that advance economic growth, technological progress and shared prosperity.

I told @CentumPLC CEO, @MworiaJ, that in my thinking, the US$37.3 Million I-REIT should ideally have been a restricted offer or at least target institutional player.

So why the opening up to retail investors & how do they intend to mitigate secondary market liquidity risk for retail investors?

Mworia makes the following points:

· The design of the REIT targets the Kenyans who have hard currency deposits lying in banks fetching 3.0% - 4.0% return p.a.
· Worth pointing out here that the country’s banking system closed March 2026 at Kes 1.36 trillion worth of foreign currency deposits having grown from Kes 1.24 trillion in March 2025, posting a 9.7 percent increase y/y
· To address the secondary market liquidity risk, he says the issuer has partnered with Nabo Capital to set up a US$4.0 Millon (Kes 517.8 Million) liquidity pool to provide ready counter party in instances where an investor seeks exit but struggles to find a buyer

[TRIFIC SEZ @trificsez]

Honoured to have been part of the debrief team led by H.E. Dr. William Samoei Ruto, President of the Republic of Kenya, ahead of the Finland–Kenya Business Forum in Helsinki.

The engagement brought together some of Kenya’s leading business leaders who are helping shape the country’s digital future and who will be joining the President’s delegation to engage with their Finnish counterparts.

The delegation represents key sectors including technology, connectivity, data infrastructure, financial services, and investment. Together, these industry leaders embody the innovation, capital, and expertise driving Kenya’s emergence as one of Africa’s leading innovation and technology hubs.

Our discussions focused on strengthening strategic partnerships that will expand digital infrastructure, accelerate innovation, attract investment, and unlock new opportunities for businesses and citizens in both countries.

Kenya comes to Finland with a clear commitment to building mutually beneficial partnerships that advance economic growth, technological progress, and shared prosperity.

The future of Kenya–Finland collaboration is bright, and I am excited to witness the opportunities that will emerge from these engagements.

[Centum Investment @CentumPLC]

As at today, Centum total assets have grown from 4 billion in 2009 to 50B. The gross value created for shareholders over the 2009 – Sept 2025 was Kes 46.2B, representing an annualised return on equity of 17.0% p.a. against the NSE 20 Index return of 0.8% in the same period.

[Mwau Brian @brian_mwau]

At this point, it feels less like objective analysis and more like a coordinated effort to discredit Centum’s leadership. Every statement is dissected through a negative lens, regardless of the facts.

Criticism is healthy. Selective outrage and constant misrepresentation are not. The public can judge for themselves who is engaging in genuine scrutiny and who is pushing a predetermined narrative. So stay guided Mr. Mwangi.

[Mwau Brian @brian_mwau]

@MwangoCapital @CentumPLC @Centum_IR @MworiaJ @NSE_PLC Looking forward to this conversation.
