The ancient poet's words I cease to need
I will rest on wisdom
on my own written words
a prophetic word(eight thousand days ago)
a youthful boy now speaking to his elder
striving is over
”...an ocean refuses no river.”

The Sovereign Wealth Fund Bill 2026 has been signed into law this morning.
Kenya now has a Sovereign Wealth Fund which constitutes 3 funds:
· The Stabilisation Fund which is designed to provide the national government with resources for management of shocks
· The Strategic Infrastructure Investment Fund which is designed to provide funding for strategic infrastructure investment priorities that are aligned to the national development plan
· The Future Generations Fund which is designed to to ensure that the benefits of the use of resources are shared equitably between present and future generations
Two things worth pointing out:
· Per the Act, 30.0% of the total mineral & petroleum revenues will be ringfenced for the Future Generations Fund
· The Act prohibits investment of the Funds in speculative derivatives, unlisted or real estate located in Kenya, private equity, art or commodities or securities issued by a Kenyan issuer

They gave everything, but it just wasn't enough...
But they can be proud of their journey. 👏
It was their first World Cup appearance since 1974, and they won their first-ever World Cup game against Uzbekistan and held Portugal to a draw.
And they only fell short against England in the final minutes...
Les Léopards made a whole nation believe again. 🫶🇨🇩
People will read this as a CEO appointment.
It is really a customer-acquisition move.
I&M began in 1974 as Investments & Mortgages—a Shah-founded lender serving Nairobi’s business community. For decades, its strength was corporate and high-net-worth banking.
Now the strategy has changed.
iMara 3.0 explicitly targets retail customers and SMEs. The bank is expanding its physical and digital reach, and in 2025 began building a Sharia-compliant banking unit.
Then it hires Abdi Mohamed—the banker who helped revamp Absa’s La Riba franchise for the Somali business market.
This is not symbolism. It is distribution strategy.
The old I&M banked a profitable niche. The new I&M wants scale.
