Today is truly a great day for Kenya Railways and for Kenya.
Today marks a historic milestone as the official construction works for the Naivasha–Kisumu–Malaba Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) Project have commenced in Narok County.
KCB FC could see a major squad shake-up at the end of the month, with up to ten players approaching the expiry of their contracts.
The players whose deals are set to run out are Boniphas Munyasa, Boniface Omondi, Tedja Wanumbi, Yafeesi Mubiru, Fadhil Masoud Mwanyimvua, Francis Kahiro, Francis Kahata, December Kisaka, Clyde Senaji and Nashon Alembi.
Unless agreements on new terms are reached, all ten could leave the club as free agents.
The Encore Nakuru is open. 205 rooms. 8 restaurants. 23 conference rooms. A 3,500sqm events garden. Parking for 300 vehicles.
One of the biggest private hospitality investments the Rift Valley has ever seen. 🧵
The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) is committing KSh39 billion to a landmark twin-tower development at the junction of Uhuru Highway and Kenyatta Avenue in Nairobi. Once completed, Tower A will soar to 260 metres with 60 floors, making it the tallest building in East and Central Africa, while Tower B will stand 140 metres high with 35 storeys.
The mixed-use complex will include premium office space, a business hotel, serviced apartments, retail outlets, conference facilities, a 56th-floor observation deck, and parking for approximately 1,150 vehicles. Construction has been awarded to China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC).
From an investment standpoint, this is pension capital being deployed into long-term income-generating real estate rather than a purely prestige-driven venture. If properly executed and professionally managed, the development could provide stable recurring revenues that strengthen returns for NSSF contributors over many decades.
However, the project's success will ultimately depend on demand rather than height. Nairobi's commercial landscape has evolved significantly, with many corporations relocating from the CBD to Upper Hill, Westlands, and Riverside in search of modern office stock, better accessibility, larger floor plates, and enhanced convenience.
To remain competitive, the development must offer more than iconic architecture. Competitive pricing, world-class specifications, integrated amenities, strong transport connectivity, and a vibrant live-work-play ecosystem will be essential in attracting businesses, residents, and visitors back to the CBD. In the end, the true measure of success will not be its record-breaking stature, but whether it delivers sustainable occupancy and generates attractive returns for Kenya's pensioners for generations to come. Good project 👍
