KRA has graduated to a magician.

There was a real estate company called Bristol Estate limited. They excelled in flipping real estate.

By 2020, cash had dried up. They could not continue. Worse still, they owed KRA 475 million shillings.

The directors called for an emergency meeting. Then one director stood up and proposed. Let's dissolve the company.

They all said, perfect. Kill the company. Do it. Fast.

As they are doing all this, they are not aware of one dangerous sentence, sitting quietly in the companies act. It says:

• A company that has applied for dissolution must immediately give a copy of the notice to its creditors.

Why? Because the law gives creditors a chance to object before the company disappears. To protect themselves from losses.

Bristol quietly dissolved the company. They never informed their hungriest creditor, KRA.

The clock started ticking. Bristol tax returns stopped hitting KRA servers. KRA became suspicious.

KRA called the company. No answer. Eventually they reached one of the directors.

The greetings were warm. Until the caller said: This is KRA.

The director immediately switched to his Italiano: Fratello KRA, non ti capisco.

KRA replied: Hizo ni gani tena umeanza bro? We were talking just fine. Let's continue in English.
The director insisted: Non ti capisco.

KRA ignored the drama: We want our 475 million that your company owes us.
Director responded. Which company? We closed it years ago. Didn't you read the Kenya Gazette?

KRA asked: What are you saying? How can you close with our money? 475 million? Aje?

KRA rushed to the gazette. It was true. Bristol Estate Ltd had officially ceased to exist.

KRA retreated to Times Tower and embarked on a fault finding mission.
How can a company die with Caesars money?

In 2023, KRA remembered that one dangerous sentence. You remember it?

• A company applying for dissolution must notify its creditors.

KRA had never received that notice.
They immediately ran to court.

They argued: My lord, we were owed 475 million. We were a legit creditor. Bristol could not lawfully dissolve itself without notifying us. Please resurrect it.

The court agreed. The company had been dissolved through a defective process.

The judge ordered the company registrar to bring Bristol Estate Ltd back from the dead.

Not so it could sell houses. But so KRA could collect its 475 million in taxes.

Case closed.

Lessons.

- Closing a company does not automatically erase its tax debts.

- Before dissolving a company, notify all creditors. Including the hungriest creditor of them all, KRA.

- If the dissolution process is defective, the court can resurrect the company.

The High Court has ordered Safaricom and DTB to pay a customer Ksh. 4.42 million that was fraudulently withdrawn from her bank account following a SIM swap fraud. The customer reported the unauthorized SIM swap to Safaricom immediately, but before the issue was resolved, fraudsters accessed her DTB mobile banking account and transferred Ksh. 4,418,601 through a series of unauthorized transactions.

Both Safaricom and DTB appealed after the lower court found them jointly liable, with each arguing that the other was solely responsible for the loss. The High Court dismissed both appeals, holding that each organization owed its own independent duty of care to the customer and could not escape liability by shifting blame to the other.

The Court found that Safaricom failed to adequately prevent and respond to the unauthorized SIM swap, while DTB failed to detect and stop suspicious high-value transactions despite obvious red flags. It upheld the lower court's decision, ordering Safaricom to bear 60% of the loss and DTB 40%, reaffirming that organizations handling personal data and digital financial services must take proactive steps to protect customers from fraud.

If a Kikuyu, Luo, Kalenjin, Luhya, Mswahili, and Somali all got hired on the same day at Kenya Ports Authority, Mombasa, and you went back to check on them after 10 years, this is what you would find:

KIKUYU 🐝

✅ Owns a three-bedroom in Shanzu. Title deed in his name. Family settled, children in a private school nearby. He hardly goes to his village. Mombasa became home!

✅ Has two rental units in Kisauni already generating income. A matatu on the Likoni route with a trusted tout managing it.

✅ Drives a 1300cc EFI. Clean. Paid for in cash.

✅ His idea of a night out is meeting one old friend at a local leaking joint, splitting a quarter kilo of nyama choma, and arguing over land prices in Ruiru over two cold Tuskers.

✅ He is already planning to quit KPA.

LUO 👑

✅ Lives in a five-bedroom house in Nyali. Rent is 85,000 a month. The sitting room has a chandelier.

✅ Drives a 4000cc V8 on a loan that still has six years to run. The car turns heads. That is the point.

✅ No land. No rentals. Has a savings account he has never saved in.

✅ Is the Chairman of the KPA Workers Union. Has called eleven strikes in ten years. Nine of them were about Kikuyus being promoted unfairly. He sings TUTAM in meetings!

✅ His Friday night involves ten friends, a table full of beers, music that makes conversation impossible, and a very loud argument about how Raila would have been the greatest president Africa ever produced.

✅ Genuinely believes the Kikuyu guy in accounts is stealing. Has no evidence. Does not need any. But he believes they were born thieves!

KALENJIN 🏃

✅ Family is in Kericho. He is in Mombasa. This arrangement makes complete sense to him.

✅ His 1300cc car is also in Kericho. He takes buses.

✅ Has quietly bought 37 acres near Londiani. Does not talk about it.

✅ Drinks beer slowly, alone or with one or two clansmen, in a corner of a quiet bar. The conversation is mostly about home. He is already mentally back in the Rift.

✅ Regularly wonders why they built the port in Mombasa and not somewhere more sensible, like Kericho.

LUHYA 🎵

✅ Has one wife in Bungoma and one wife in Mombasa. Both know about each other. Neither is happy. He manages.

✅ Has been waiting seven years for another Luhya to become MD so things can finally go his way. There have been two Luhya MDs. Neither remembered him.

✅ No savings. No land. But he knows every Lingala song released between 2015 and today, and there is always a sweet sixteen somewhere who thinks he looks important.

✅ Looks at the Kikuyu's rental houses with genuine admiration and zero plan to replicate them.

✅ His budget does not survive the third week of any month.

MSWAHILI 🌊

✅ Has never lived anywhere else. His grandfather worked at the port. His father worked at the port. He works at the port. This is simply how things are done.

✅ Lives in the family house in Mvita, Old Town. The house was built in 1962. He sees no reason to move.

✅ Does not hustle. Does not plan. Believes strongly that riziki inatoka kwa Mungu and that rushing is a sign of poor upbringing.

✅ Has a small shop downstairs run by his wife. The shop has been open since 1987. The stock has not changed much since then either.

✅ Genuinely confused why the Kikuyu is always running somewhere. Kwani where is he going?

✅ Spends evenings at the baraza with elders drinking kahawa chungu and discussing how Mombasa was better before everyone else arrived.

✅ Still waiting for his cousin's friend's brother to finalize paperwork on a piece of land in Likoni. The cousin says it is almost ready. It has been almost ready for four years.

SOMALI 🐪

✅ Was hired at KPA but stopped showing up after three months. Nobody is quite sure when he left or how. But everyone suspects he gets paid.

✅ Currently owns a money transfer business, a wholesale shop in Eastleigh, a small logistics company operating between Mombasa and Garissa, and a share in a fuel depot.

✅ Drives a clean Prado. Cash.

No matter what, never talk ill or undermine the people or institutions that built you even if you think you are bigger than them … I trained & employed many lawyers who are now VERY BIG (or so they think) … It’s why no matter what, I will always be in the corner of HE Moses Wetang’ula who gave me me opportunity when he didn’t know me & I didn’t know anyone!

No matter your current powerful position, the Universe will have the last word! Always remember where you came from!

Men,

When people betray or disrespect you

Your first instict is to defend, explain or attack,

That is weakness.

Don't explain, defend or argue with people who have chosen to misunderstand and betray you.

Block and go.

Guard your mental frame.

Crypto trading is the buying and selling of digital currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana to make a profit from price movements.

So those who ask what’s Cryto Currency

It is digital money built on blockchain technology. Instead of banks controlling transactions, a decentralized network verifies and records them.

People use crypto for: Investing, Trading, Sending money, Building apps and online services and Storing value digitally.

So you may ask yourself. how does crypto trading works?

A trader buys a coin at a lower price and hopes to sell it later at a higher price.

Example:

* Buy 1 coin at KSh 10,000
* Sell it at KSh 12,000
* Profit = KSh 2,000 (before fees)

You can also profit when prices fall using advanced methods like short selling, but beginners usually start with simple buying and selling.

People make money in crypto in 3 ways

1. Day trading - Buying and selling within hours or the same day to benefit from small price changes. Eg Buy when the market dips and Sell after a quick rise

2. Swing trading - Holding crypto for days or weeks waiting for a bigger move. Eg Buying after a market correction and Selling during a rally

This is more common for beginners because it is less stressful than day trading.

3. Long-term investing (“HODLing”) - Buying strong projects and holding them for months or years.

Many early investors in Bitcoin became wealthy because the price increased massively over time.

You can buy and sell through Binance

Alafu jomba, Crypto trading can be profitable, but it is not easy money. Most profitable traders spend a long time learning market psychology, risk management, and discipline.

The goal is usually not to become rich overnight, but to build consistent skills and manage risk carefully.

In Nairobi, many people earn between KSh 30,000 and KSh 50,000 per month. To afford housing, most live far from the CBD — in areas like Embakasi, along Thika Road, Rongai, or Kitengela.

Daily transport costs average KSh 200, which adds up to KSh 4,500 per month. Rent averages KSh 10,000, while food and other basic expenses consume another KSh 20,000. This means that even someone earning KSh 50,000 often ends the month with nothing left to save.

This raises a critical question: Can such a person ever achieve real financial growth — buy land, build a house, make meaningful investments, or secure their future? How have many Nairobians managed to survive in the city for decades while raising families, feeding their children, and paying school fees?

I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.

A Woman Walks Into A Butchery Just Before Closing and Asks, "Do You Still Have Chicken?"

The Butcher Opens His Deep Freezer, Takes Out The Only Chicken Left and Puts It On The Scale, And It Weighed 1.5 kg.

The Woman Looks At The Chicken and At The Scale And Asked, "Do You Have One That's a Bit Bigger Than This One?"

The Butcher Puts His Only Chicken Back Into The Freezer, and Then Takes It Out Again, But This Time When He Puts It On The Scale; He Craftily Keeps His Thumb on The Scale Pan And The Scale Now Showed 2 kg

"That's Wonderful," Said The Woman. "I'll Take Both Chickens, Please!"

In a Situation Like This, You Realize That Your Integrity and Your Reputation are on The Line. Your Wisdom Becomes Foolishness and Your Cunning ways Become Stupidity.

As I Write This, The Butcher's Head is still Inside The Big Deep Freezer Looking For The Chicken
