💥 The Fall of a Hospitality Empire
How did a luxury hotel owned by a prominent politician end up in the hands of an insolvency administrator? We go behind the scenes of the Glee Hotel saga, revealing the Sh9.1 billion debt battle with Equity Bank that stripped its directors of power. This isn’t just a business failure; it’s a story of politics, power, and the unforgiving math of debt.
🏗️ The Megaproject That Will Reshape East Africa
Forget the rumours. We have the exclusive details on Aliko Dangote’s Sh2.58 trillion ($20 billion) oil refinery at Lamu Port. This isn’t just another investment; it’s a “masterful, twin-engine territorial and business strategy” designed to give Dangote a near-monopoly on fuel in the region. We break down why Kenya won the bid, the eye-watering numbers, and the massive geopolitical implications for the entire continent.
🏦 The Banking Revolution You Haven’t Noticed
The corner office in Kenya’s financial sector has become a revolving door. Why are banks and mobile money companies poaching each other’s top talent? Our cover story reveals the seismic shift in leadership, with experts predicting that the next generation of banking CEOs will come from tech firms, not traditional banking ranks. It’s a new era for finance in Kenya.
💸 The Diaspora Cash Machine Stumbles
For the first time in years, diaspora remittances are taking a hit. We analyze the data showing a 3.03% drop in the first half of 2026, driven by a shocking 11.6% decline from North America. What’s behind this slowdown, and what does it mean for the Shilling and the economy?
⚖️ Who Watches the Watchmen?
The government has created a new National Infrastructure Fund to bankroll mega-projects. But the Controller of Budget herself is accusing the Treasury of designing it to bypass constitutional safeguards. We reveal the explosive court battle that could determine the future of fiscal oversight in Kenya.
This and so much more is waiting for you.
