Kenyan stocks are doing well at the @NSE_PLC but I have always felt that NSE has done little in educating people on how to buy shares and trade... They have left the work to scammers who have dressed "trading" as a betting & risky expedition. Next week, I really need someone to help me buy US stocks...approached my bank but apparently my "portfolio" haijafika hapo... Cc @SokoAnalyst @TheAbojani @investwithSIB https://t.co/EaghnHQKzK

By any measure, Kenya’s malnutrition numbers should alarm us. Roughly 1.13 million children under five are stunted, their bodies and brains permanently shortchanged before they ever reach a classroom.

In the arid and semi-arid counties, hundreds of thousands more teeter on the edge of emergency hunger, one failed rainy season away from crisis. https://t.co/puBWMfSRXJ

Kenya’s money market sent a calm but powerful signal this week: liquidity was not in panic, investors were still willing to fund the government, and the front end of the yield curve remained the most attractive hiding place for capital seeking safety, speed, and return.

The Kenya Shilling Overnight Interbank Average closed at an average of 8.75%, underlining a stable liquidity environment even as actual interbank activity cooled sharply. https://t.co/gD7h5m9G6A

Safaricom’s price strengthened by 1.8% week-on-week to KES 34.20, showing that the market absorbed the landmark transaction without losing upward momentum. The counter did not merely dominate turnover; it became the week’s anchor, setting the tone for activity, liquidity, and investor attention. In a market where large transactions often distort the picture, Safaricom gave the week both scale and direction. https://t.co/M53U1gaxCi

The Nairobi Securities Exchange closed the week with conviction, not caution. By the final bell, the market had finished firmly in the green, with the NASI rising 2.1% week-on-week, the N10 gaining 3.2%, the NSE 20 advancing 2.2%, and the NSE 25 climbing 2.6%. The message from the tape was clear: breadth returned, momentum improved, and investors found enough confidence to push the market higher across the major indices @investwithSIB https://t.co/M53U1gaxCi

Markets reward discipline long before they reward noise. In the first half of 2026, Mansa-X Special Fund delivered a performance profile that speaks to exactly that discipline: positive quarterly returns, a stronger second quarter, and a half-year run-rate that gives serious investors a reason to look more closely @investwithSIB https://t.co/wmCFVViu0g
