I told @CentumPLC CEO, @MworiaJ, that in my thinking, the US$37.3 Million I-REIT should ideally have been a restricted offer or at least target institutional player.

So why the opening up to retail investors & how do they intend to mitigate secondary market liquidity risk for retail investors?

Mworia makes the following points:

· The design of the REIT targets the Kenyans who have hard currency deposits lying in banks fetching 3.0% - 4.0% return p.a.
· Worth pointing out here that the country’s banking system closed March 2026 at Kes 1.36 trillion worth of foreign currency deposits having grown from Kes 1.24 trillion in March 2025, posting a 9.7 percent increase y/y
· To address the secondary market liquidity risk, he says the issuer has partnered with Nabo Capital to set up a US$4.0 Millon (Kes 517.8 Million) liquidity pool to provide ready counter party in instances where an investor seeks exit but struggles to find a buyer

@CappyGerald @Safaricom_Care Their customer care is so poor. I eventually upgraded to Savannah Fibre which is more reliable and cheaper.

Congratulations to my former colleague from our days at @KenGenKenya, Moses Wekesa, on your appointment as the Managing Director of the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA).

Having worked closely with you, I must admit your leadership caliber, strategic mind, and dedication to excellence. Transitioning from the energy sector to the heart of our aviation industry is a significant milestone, and I can think of no one better suited to steer KAA during this pivotal time of infrastructure modernization.

Our airports are the primary gateways to Magical Kenya, and a seamless aviation experience is the first step in a visitor’s journey to our parks and beaches.

Success in your new role, Moses 🇰🇪!

For visual reference, the green area shows where the parking lot is, the blue area marks the former location of Ukay Center, and the pink line indicates a drain that carries water from the river on the opposite side of Peponi Road.

[Alliance Old Boys' Club @AHSOBC]

The Alliance anthem echoed with deeper meaning yesterday.

During the memorial service for Mugambi Kiai (Class of 1989, Grieve House, School No. 4951), Old Boys gathered to honor a man who carried the Alliance spirit with rare conviction.

He once described himself as “I am Alliance, the mosaic burning bush that never burns down.”

Mugambi believed in the power of the Alliance brotherhood and worked tirelessly to bring Old Boys together.

As this anthem was sung in his memory, it reminded us that the spirit he embodied will continue to live on.

Rest in peace, Mugambi.

How profitable is the Nairobi Expressway that someone has so loved the country that they have volunteered to turn Thika Road into an Expressway that whoever believes in getting home early shall enjoy everlasting tolls for 30 years going to a private investor
