Former Central Bank of Kenya Governor, Prof. Njuguna Ndung'u, reflects on his fallout with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) over Kenya's monetary policy framework.
He makes the interesting case of the twin occurrence of high growth (>7.0%) & high inflation (13.0% - 14.0%) while the Fund's prescription was monetary tightening amidst static velocity of money.

The man who has been trending in videos circulating online has been identified as Vincent Manoah, a nurse from Vihiga County. According to Vincent, the incident occurred on Thursday morning in South B, Nairobi, as he was heading to sit for an examination at Kenyatta University.
He says he had spent the night at an Airbnb and was rushing to school when several women called out to him. Since he was focused on getting to his exam, he ignored them and continued walking. He says the women then began insulting him before suddenly shouting "mwizi, mwizi" (thief).
Moments later, they caught up with him and started demanding that he pays them, falsely claiming he had spent the night with one of them supplying high voltage electricity & hearing good. Vincent maintains that he had never interacted with them.
During the confrontation, one of the women allegedly grabbed his wallet and ran away, while the others continued harassing him. He says he deliberately restrained himself from reacting because he understood the sensitivity of confrontations involving women.
Fortunately, police officers on patrol quickly intervened. The matter was reported at South B Police Station, where two of the women were arrested. They are currently in police custody and are expected to be arraigned in court.
Vincent further says the two women have since apologized and admitted that nothing had happened between them and him, confirming that the allegations they made against him were false. The two Mikoras are currently cooling their Sundus at South B state lodge awaiting bail hearing on Monday.

Fifteen years ago, I sat in a doctor's office and heard words that would change the trajectory of my life: prostate cancer. It is a moment that strips you bare. It confronts you with your own fragility, with the terrifying silence of mortality.
In that darkness, however, something remarkable happened. Mama Kisumu, Dorothy Nyong'o, and I made a solemn vow not only to survive, but to ensure that no Kenyan, regardless of the weight of their purse or the emptiness of their pockets, would have to walk the cancer journey alone, abandoned and without hope.That vow became the Africa Cancer Foundation.
Today, under the weight of memory and the warmth of gratitude, we gathered to mark our 15th Anniversary under a theme that speaks to the very core of our humanity: "Own Your Cancer Story." We were honoured to be joined by Dr. Gladwell Kiarie as Chief Guest, alongside the dedicated Board and staff who have carried this torch through storm and sunshine, friends, relatives, survivors, donors, partners and supporters.
I was reminded with tears in my eyes, of why we began this journey. Our mission is not abstract. It is flesh and blood. It is the mother in Kilifi who cannot afford chemotherapy. It is the young man in Kibra who fears the diagnosis more than the disease itself. It is to restore hope, uphold dignity, and provide quality cancer care to every single one of them.
Over these fifteen years, standing shoulder to shoulder with our partners who believe in the impossible, we have done what many said could not be done. We have advanced policies that once seemed beyond reach. We have expanded screening and awareness to villages where cancer was once spoken about only in whispers. We have proven, with the stubborn persistence of those who have looked death in the eye, that advocacy transforms systems, while service changes lives.
Our commitment burns as fiercely today as it did in that doctor's office fifteen years ago. In Kisumu, we are strengthening the very foundation of cancer care through the soon to be realised Chun Jeong Un Nyong'o Cancer Centre. We fully support the establishment of Kenya's first public bone marrow transplant programme at JOOTRH, a beacon of hope for countless families who have long been told to look elsewhere, or to simply give up. And we are embracing innovations that will bring early detection within reach of every Kenyan, not just the privileged few.
Today, we also launched the Africa Cancer Foundation's Mobile Clinic, bringing life-saving cancer screening closer to communities through outreach in markets and other public spaces.
As we celebrate this milestone, I do so not with the triumph of conquest, but with the quiet resolve of one who knows the battle is far from over. We renew our solemn commitment to building a future where cancer is detected early, more lives are saved, and where every Kenyan can face this journey with the dignity, hope, and the support they deserve.
This is not just my story. It is our story, and I urge every one of you to own it. Own your story!
After 2 decades of climbing the corporate ladder, I walked away from my role as General Manager at Old Mutual Kenya.
This was a decision that puzzled many people, to many people it didn’t make sense. After all, most professionals spend their entire careers working towards senior leadership.
So why would anyone leave? The answer had everything to do with the purpose I was pursuing.
Over those 2 decades, I had the privilege of mentoring hundreds of financial advisors, building high-performing teams, and watching many people grow into successful professionals. It remains one of the most rewarding chapters of my career.
But somewhere along the journey, I realised something.
The higher I climbed in management, the further I moved from the conversations that had made me fall in love with this profession in the first place.
I missed the conversations with clients. The opportunity to sit across the table from someone, understand their dreams, their fears, their financial challenges, and help them build a plan that could genuinely change the course of their lives.
Management gave me the opportunity to lead people, but advising people gave me purpose.
That realisation changed everything. I began asking myself a question that was difficult to ignore: Was I simply managing a successful career, or was I fulfilling the calling that first brought me into this profession?
The answer became clearer with time.
So I made a decision that surprised many people. I stepped away from management and started Hisa Africa Insurance Agency.
From the outside, it looked like I was starting over. In reality, I was building on the experience i had gained.
The difference was that I was now free to focus on what mattered most, 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬.
Instead of being limited to one perspective, I now had freedom to listen first and recommend what genuinely served each person’s needs without being confined to one solution.
Something remarkable happened after I made that decision.
The relationships I had built over the years became even stronger. Clients began turning to me not just for solutions, but for guidance on investments, retirement planning, protecting their families, and building long-term wealth
That trust naturally led to something I had never set out to chase
Clients began introducing me to their spouses, siblings, colleagues, friends, and business partners because they had experienced the value of honest, thoughtful financial advice firsthand. The greatest endorsement I could receive was hearing someone say, “You should have a conversation with Alfred.” Those simple referrals became the foundation of relationships that continue to grow today.
Looking back today, I don’t see my decision as walking away from success. I see it as walking towards significance.
Running a small business is not a joke. You issue an eTIMS invoice and 3 months later, no money. You chase, 4 months. All that time, KRA knows you were paid. Then one morning, while thinking of witchcraft, you get an email from KRA that that bagger who owes you, has remitted the taxes he owes KRA after deducting from what he is supposed to pay you. Now KRA is more convinced that indeed you got paid. Very bad behaviour.
