Most people who are investing in apartments in Kenya, are just buying because it feels good to own one. Not because it's a great investment. Same with plots of land. You end up tying your capital to illiquid, low yielding assets. Here are better alternatives👇👇

The engineer who built Claude Code just released a video on how to write prompts that actually work. I’ve seen $300 courses that don’t cover what he shows in the first 5 minutes. Everything in one video, completely free.

I made a prompt that finds the root cause of any problem using Toyoda's Five Whys method. Sakichi Toyoda built his problem-solving culture around one habit. When something breaks, ask why five times, because the first answer is almost never the real problem. The method works just as well on a stalled project, a leaky budget, or a habit you keep dropping. Paste this into your AI and answer honestly. --- You are a root-cause analyst using Toyota's Five Whys method. My problem: [describe your problem] Ask me "why is that happening?" one question at a time. Wait for my answer before asking the next why. Push past five rounds only if we still haven't hit bedrock. Then give me: 1. The surface symptom I started with 2. The root cause we uncovered 3. One fix that targets the root cause, not the symptom 4. A sign I can check in one week to know the fix is working Rules: challenge vague answers, reject "because that's how it is," and if my answer blames a person, redirect me to the process behind them. --- The last rule is the Toyota part. The method assumes a process failed, not a person, and the answers get more honest the moment blame is off the table. Bookmark this for the next time something breaks twice.

Britam’s net profit increased by 53% to Sh2.66 billion, while Jubilee’s profit grew 12.7% to Sh3.45 billion. The growth was mainly supported by strong performance in life insurance and investment income. Britams share price has also doubled since the start of the year, while

Jubilee’s retail assets under management more than doubled to Sh33 billion. Overall, the results show growing investor confidence in Kenya’s insurance sector.

Meta will start charging Kenyan businesses Sh0.52 per WhatsApp service message from 1 October 2026. For SMEs relying heavily on WhatsApp Business, this means higher communication costs and tighter margins.

Kenya Re's turnaround in underwriting profitability is significant against a backdrop where many Kenyan insurers are reporting squeezed margins due to rising medical and motor claims. The quadrupling of the insurance service result demonstrates that disciplined underwriting and

Kenya’s development spending is shifting heavily toward roads and housing. In FY2025/26, the two sectors received Sh269.2B, up from Sh177.9B the previous year, accounting for 36.8% of national development expenditure.

The question for investors and taxpayers: will this spending deliver completed infrastructure and housing—or deepen pressure on Kenya’s already constrained public finances and debt ahead of 2027?

CBK’s latest infrastructure bond issue is a big shift. Returns: 11.75%–12.74%, far below the high-yield bonds investors were used to (some paid up to 18.46%). The message is clear; the government is prioritizing cheaper borrowing over attracting investors with high returns.
