@citizentvkenya@KoinangeJeff Africans do need any more universities to blossom in matters Goverance, they need moral and character re-imagination& restoration. We are morally eroded.
Kenyans now pay more in taxes on petrol than the actual cost of the fuel.
The gov't charges Sh80.50 in taxes per litre of Super Petrol, while the actual product cost is only Sh77

Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter was financed by borrowing money
He used his Tesla stock as collateral
If Tesla stock keeps crashing, the banks/creditors could repossess Twitter
THAT is why Elon is panicking - and why he pushed Trump to do the disgusting White House car show
BYD isn't just beating Tesla - it's humiliating them:
• Sold 4 Million EVs in 2024 (Twice that of Tesla)
• Tesla, Ford, and Toyota fight over its batteries
• Warren Buffett invested $232M for a 10% stake
How China quietly built BYD into the world's biggest EV empire 🧵
My investing preferences. What are yours?
1. I prefer bonds to real estate for passive income
2. Save in a Money Market Fund over a savings/fixed deposit account
3. Invest in cash generating assets over idle/dead assets
4. Invest a portion of my money in offshore ETF that tracks the S&P 500
5. Invest a portion of my money in Bitcoin
6. Use Life insurance for wealth protection, estate planning and wealth transfer
In 1970, the UK and Norway both discovered oil in the North Sea.
The UK sold their reserves to private markets while Norway kept state ownership.
This ONE decision created the biggest wealth gap in European history.
Here's the full story: 🧵
Here is an example from Qona Sacco on how Saccos are dealing with the funds lost in the scandal at KUSCCO:
—Qona Sacco reclassified a KES 104.7M fixed deposit due from KUSCCO into receivables, indicating concerns over recoverability.
—Instead of fully writing off the impaired Kuscco deposit in FY 2024, Qona has spread the impairment over four years, booking only KES 26.1M in 2024.
—This approach clearly overstates assets and understates losses, distorting the true financial position [Profits for 2024: 216.9M, Total assets for 2024: 12.95B]
—IFRS 9 requires immediate recognition of the full lifetime expected credit loss when an asset is credit-impaired.
—The Sacco goes ahead to promise to pay KES 125.993 in dividends in FY 2024.
—The financial statements lack clear disclosures explaining the rationale for the phased impairment, violating IFRS 7 transparency requirements. They state that this is actually "contrary to IFRS"
—PKF Kenya LLP, the external auditor, issued a clean opinion without flagging this misstatement as a Key Audit Matter.
Why all this?
IG Sacco has booked a KES 588.7M impairment charge related to its investment at KUSCCO which made them swing from a profit (surplus) of KES 549M in 2023 to a loss (deficit) of KES 38.8M in 2024.
The Sacco still intends to pay KES 242M in dividends.
Messy KUSCCO.
Ushuru DT Sacco has an impairment of financial assets at Kuscco of KES 7.8M [Shares held in KUSCCO of KES 5M & Savings held in KUSCCO Central Finance Fund of KES 2.8M]:
If your Sacco is not fully impairing its deposits & shares in KUSCCO, it is ignoring IFRS 9.
When credit risk increases significantly (as it has with KUSCCO), IFRS 9 requires recognizing lifetime expected losses immediately, not spreading them over years.
Take the big bath now
