Dear Michael Macharia

Thank you immensely for stepping directly into the arena to share your perspective and set the record straight.

When I launched The Silicon Savannah Chronicles—a series documenting the journeys, triumphs, and trials of 25 prominent tech founders—I knew that telling these complex stories would evoke strong reactions. Out of all 25 founders featured, only four have stepped forward to address the material directly, and you are the only one who has gone into such rich, granular detail to give the public the real story from inside the furnace.

(For context on the broader project, you can read the series overview here: The Silicon Savannah Chronicles)

This level of active participation is rare. In a parallel series I write—The 100 Men & Women Who Built Our Capital Markets—we routinely reach out directly to key architects of Kenya's financial systems, yet very few of out of the 100 featured, step up to document their legacy or explain the institutional mechanics behind their decisions: (Series link: The Architects of Capital)

The overarching purpose of Boardlot Africa is simple: to document the history of African entrepreneurship, corporate governance, and capital formation with the same rigor, depth, and permanence seen in Western markets so that generations of future builders have a real record to study.

By engaging so openly, you have made this documentation journey significantly more robust and valid. Rather than issuing a rebuttal, I intend to use the additional context, details, and nuances you’ve shared to deepen our research and further enrich the original piece.

True ecosystem building requires leaders willing to discuss both the glory and the heat of the courtroom, boardroom, and battlefield. Thank you for contributing to that record.

Best regards,

Sultan

Bro. Hapa ndio the pits hukuwa Bana
Half of the time you arent even doing your job it's just fire fighting and QC and telling people what to do when they know very well what they need to do then follow up
A typical day first 3 or 4 hrs ni vita Tu.

The main challenge in life is women want their responsibilities treated as sacrifices but want men’s sacrifices to be treated as responsibilities.

Nairobi CBD looks like a city in a war-torn country. Rubble and debris are everywhere, potholes as deep as the governor's dimples.

Again I ask, what do we do when the Head of State is the biggest security threat?

I've been questioning the sanity of a certain individual for a long time and even asked what constitutes treasonable, impeachable offence. Allowing a foreign state to build a quarantine facility of a highly infectious disease inside your main fighter air base is exactly that!

One day someone will write the history of Kenya and say, here lie the ruins of a nation destroyed by greed.

Brah! I hate corporate politics mehn.
It’s so unnecessary, like what is all this.

@muthamajoelKE @wanguwamajani @kg_njiru by grafting Ruiru 11 with SL rootstock you gain the advantage of having more drought resistant plants.
This is a 2 year old plant in Murang'a.
root stock - SL 28
bud - ruiru 11

[Kariuki @Wanjoros]

@muthamajoelKE @wanguwamajani @kg_njiru I think you have your facts the other way round,
SL 28 has very good roots and bears big berries
ruiru 11 roots are not as deep and therefore more affected by drought. however, it produces more fruits as it also tends to have more branches, but the berries have less weight

[Kariuki @Wanjoros]

@wanguwamajani @kg_njiru @muthamajoelKE haha, I will get you info to earn you some bragging rights .
ruiru 11 is a game changer, especially now that it is being grafted onto SL 28 root stock.

[Kariuki @Wanjoros]

@wanguwamajani @kg_njiru @muthamajoelKE I am not sure if there is, but I think it should work in Uganda too.

[Kariuki @Wanjoros]

@wanguwamajani @kg_njiru @muthamajoelKE Ruiru 11 is a hybrid brand and was developed at CRI - Kenya

@Pastor_Gabe My dad used all kinds of jars for his. Many he screwed the lids to shelves so all he had to do was unscrew the jar part.

We are witnessing the loss of shame and embarrassment in our leaders.

Unchecked, the next few years will be defined by normalized recklessness and crises without correction.

Dark times ahead. Good ppl, Guard your inner compass ruthlessly and protect the young from despair.

Guys this is a major and big issue in the construction sector that I have to highlight urgently. I did an NDT for a client who was constructing a two storey structure in Nairobi and in all tests, the concrete was attaining only 50% of the required strength. 50% 🫥
