Suppose Kenya Government created an Agricultural Bank, capitalise it with Kshs 100billion, appoint impeccable management, mandate it to develop and promote agri - based industries and other activities, what would happen to our food security, cost of food, agri- based employment among other developments? What would really happen to Kenya? I am just wondering. What do you think would happen?

Kenya Re has convened an SGM on 11 February 2026 to approve amendments to its Articles aimed at strengthening board governance and shareholder representation:

—Introduction of two share classes (Class A & Class B), with differentiated rights on nomination and election of directors, while retaining equal economic rights.
—Board size to be reduced from 11 to 9 directors, with at least one-third being independent non-executive directors, in line with best practice.
—Clearer director tenure rules: 3-year terms, renewable once, reinforcing board refreshment and accountability.
—Stricter independence and eligibility criteria for independent directors, including cooling-off periods, limits on political affiliation, consultancy, and prior employment or audit relationships.
—Enhanced provisions on director disqualification, retirement, and nomination, tightening governance safeguards.

The meeting will be held virtually.

On the night of December 22, 1992, Mwai Kibaki was quietly escorted to the residence of the American ambassador, Smith Hempstone, just minutes from his Chui Road sanctuary in leafy Muthaiga.

The US Embassy was desperate to marry off the opposition into one obedient candidate who could finally dethrone Daniel arap Moi.

For days, the Embassy had been trying to force three stubborn sons of Abraham into one sensible marriage. Kibaki. Matiba. Jaramogi. All brilliant. All ambitious. But unity in Kenyan politics is a seasonal fruit.

Inside Hempstone’s house, diplomacy was lubricated by alcohol. Hempstone clutched his Tusker cider while Kibaki of cause calmly nursed his White Cap, the intellectual’s beer of choice.

After a few respectful sips, Kibaki leaned forward and whispered with devastating finality:

“It is too late, Ambassador.”

Hempstone understood. Opposition unity had died quietly, without a funeral.

Now, Smith Hempstone had arrived in Kenya convinced he could “co-opt Moi,” a phrase that in Kiswahili meant bribing him gently with farm animals and flying machines.

His first romantic gesture was A Black Angus bull from West Virginia, airlifted to Kabarak like a visiting Messiah. The CIA approved. The Special Branch approved. Even James Kanyotu nodded like a man sanctioning holy water.They named the bull Uhuru.

But Washington as always , summoned its holy trinity of policy monks, legal priests and ethics elders.... to make some noice. Suddenly the bull was no longer a gift it was a potential scandal with hooves. Hempstone, exhausted and humiliated, pulled the plug.

By the time they finished debating, the calf had grown, Hempstone had lost his temper, and Operation Bullship cancelled, Moi had already received another cow and a calf from the Germans, real power never waits for confusion.

Unshaken, Hempstone tried Plan B:
A Lockheed C-130 Hercules, a flying palace for Excellency’s personal errands, prayer retreats and emotional tours.

Moi reminded Hempstone that Mobutu had one. Executive capsule. Luxury fittings. Presidential swagger at 30,000 feet.

American generals, unimpressed, declared: “The Kenyans need a C-130"

Hempstone even suggested a second-hand version a bit rusty, freshly painted, luxury pod installed, Moi smilled, Washington said no. Moi kept smiling anyway.

As Kenya screamed for multiparty democracy, Hempstone rushed to the young firebrands Raila, Muite, Imanyara cautioning them not to provoke Moi into declaring a State of Emergency. America wanted reform, but gently…

December 29 results were as follows

Moi – 1,962,866
Matiba – 1,404,266
Kibaki – 1,050,627
Jaramogi – 944,197

The rest were decorative candidates, present mainly for constitutional balance and emotional support. Don't mind them.

At the Intercontinental Hotel, the opposition gathered, furious and wounded, declaring the results illegitimate. Hempstone, now tired of babysitting political grown-ups, advised them to stop crying and fight in Parliament and the courts.

The British, quietly pragmatic, were relieved. Matiba had threatened to deport Asians. Moi, for them, was the devil they had already memorised.

The opposition would only learn the lesson a decade later in 2002, when unity finally replaced ego .

Tanzania has officially banned non-citizens from engaging in 15 specific business activities with an aim to protect local entrepreneurs.

Non-citizens face fines of up to TZS 10 million (~$3,900), up to 6 months in prison, and revocation of visa and permits.

Grok 4 is the first time, in my experience, that an AI has been able to solve difficult, real-world engineering questions where the answers cannot be found anywhere on the Internet or in books.

And it will get much better.

Everyone's laughing it off as a "weird billionaire hobby."

The Kenya Association of Manufacturers (@KAM_Kenya)
tells us that Finance Bill 2025's proposed switch of the inputs or raw materials (either produced locally or imported) supplied to pharmaceutical manufacturers in Kenya for manufacturing medicaments from VAT Zero Rated to Exempt status risks triggering price hikes of as much as 5.0% effectively July 1st.

The Association made a powerful submission at the close of the stakeholder hearings on Finance Bill 2025 on Friday last week.

Yes, the Deputy Chief Justice of Kenya can be involved in the empanelment process. While the Chief Justice primarily oversees the allocation of cases and the constitution of benches, the Deputy Chief Justice can perform these functions in the Chief Justice's absence.

[Daddy Kim @muchaiv]

Court finds that DCJ Mwilu properly empaneled Judges to hear DP Gachagua's petition seeking to prohibit CS Kindiki from replacing him.
"We don't find any fault with the DCJ assigning judges to sit in this bench, moreso when the CJ has not raised any red flag."

Kenya’s interests include economic development, regional stability, sovereignty, and maintaining diplomatic flexibility as a non-aligned nation.

[Daddy Kim @muchaiv]

President Ruto’s support for the One-China policy, a Two-State solution, and dialogue in the Russia-Ukraine conflict is largely good for Kenya, as it aligns with our economic, diplomatic, and stability interests. It's good to take a position 😉.

[Daddy Kim @muchaiv]

The One-China policy secures vital Chinese investment, the Two-State solution reinforces Kenya’s AU and global standing, and dialogue in Ukraine addresses economic fallout while maintaining non-alignment. 💯
