Made in Kenya
(A Kingdom is not based on the King or Queen in power but by the local citizens who elect those in power)
They say Kenya is the land of opportunity. We all agree that wherever we go, we always want to come back home. But another thing about Kenyans is that they are sometimes too naive(at [...]
How to Predict Corporate Failure And Save Money
So we’re experiencing a global financial crisis and people all over are panicky. The verdict is still out on the effect of this financial meltdown in Kenya.

The New York Times is Dying - A Lesson For Kenya’s Media
The newspaper as we know it is on its deathbed. The New York Times is perhaprs one of the best known and most repspeted newspapers in the world. Its readership is huge. Yet, the traditional media, aka the “newspaper”, section is failing. Why is this so? Answer: the future of news is not in old media.
3 Easy Steps to Save Kenya from the Financial Crisis (or What Michuki Should Do Instead of Rambling Erratically)
Communicate with Kenyans and our international partners. Explain that we’re trying our best in hard times; give us direction. Tell us that there’ll be no unneeded government spending. Renegotiate our existing loan terms, just try. Prepare us to expect slower growth. Speak our language by telling us things clearly and in lay terms. Show investors that you know how you intend to reduce the negative impact.
How to Save Newspapers - 3 Steps that Work
Newspapers all over the world are facing a tight squeeze. The problem is relentless competition. The newspaper business is being crippled by competition. How can newspapers survive this onslaught?

However, even for Kenyan newspapers, things can only get worse, and they will. What can newspapers do about it?
Seeking Domination: Safaricom Vs Orange Vs Zain Roundup
Zain has to be the kindest to its customers. 3 bob per minute is way cheap, it almost sounds like a developed country’s calling rates (I hear in U.S of A, in some networks, its free all night.) They also introduced the Vuka Tariff, which makes it cheaper to call Safaricom from Zain, than within Safaricom itself. It’s the new craze in town.
Orange just got Green
Seriously, if you plan to start a company, lets say you start a supermarket to compete with Nakumatt, you wouldn’t go and ask them to “provide” or you the goods and to “lend” you a few employees!
Kenyan Companies
I must say, I am very dissapointed by Kenyan companies. First, only two are doing something to help the environment, or just one, that is EABL.
Second, how do we pay such high power bills when the services they provide are worse than ever?
Safaricom, dont get me started. From dominant provider to the second option. Really, why bother. Think ill write a book.
Is Zain A Purple Cow?
The concept of the purple cow makes me think that only a truly purple cow will emerge victorious in Kenya’s heating mobile telephony wars. Do we have a purple cow already? Can anyone say Zain? Think about it. How many of your friends (on the Zain network) try to convince you to move to Zain everytime you mention Safaricom?
See how easily we can save Kenyan farmers
What would you do if you were a tea farmer? Perhaps there are more profitable crops to plant. And, if there are, go for it!! That is what I would do. I am no tea farmer, though, so I cannot relate to the deepest tea-farmer worries. However, I know how important tea is to Kenya. Is there a way we can save the tea farmers without having them replace their tea bushes?
