NGINYANG' LIVESTOCK MARKET IN BARINGO REOPENS AFTER MONTHS OF CLOSURE

Nginyang’ Livestock Market in Tiaty has been reopened following improved security in the region after an intelligence-led operation to mop up illegal firearms.

The government closed the market earlier this year as part of measures to curb insecurity, amid concerns that stolen goats were being brought to the market for sale.

The closure, however, dealt a major blow to local residents and traders, who rely heavily on livestock for their livelihoods. Traders were also forced to look elsewhere for livestock, despite Nginyang’ being known as one of the largest livestock markets in the country and a key source of quality goats in large numbers.

The Nginyang’ Livestock Market Secretary ,Joseph Kopin said the reopening has rekindled hope among residents, particularly amid a prolonged dry spell that has affected the region.

He said traders and market officials are working closely with the government to ensure that no stolen livestock is brought into or sold at the market.

Resident Caroline Jelagat welcomed the reopening, saying the market is a critical source of livelihood for many families in Tiaty.

Trader Enos Osoro said the reopening has enabled livestock traders to resume business while also helping revive the local economy after months of closure.

Another trader, Cosmas Nyambane, said the closure had severely affected his business, noting that Nginyang’ has been his main source of livestock.

EABC STRENGTHENS EXPORT CAPACITY OF UGANDA'S SERVICE SECTOR

The East African Business Council (EABC) is conducting a three-day coaching programme for 20 export-ready service companies from diverse sectors as part of the LIFTED Project, supported by GIZ and the European Union (EU). The coaching is taking place from 24th–26th August 2026 at the Elgon Conference Room, GIZ Office, Plot 1–4, Nyonyi Gardens, Kololo, Kampala.

The coaching is designed to strengthen the capacity of participating companies to strategically position, package and export their services beyond the East African Community (EAC) market to the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and, ultimately, the global market. The programme is equipping participating companies with practical knowledge and tools to develop and implement individual Service Export Strategies, enhance their overall export readiness, and identify and prioritize appropriate target markets.

The coaching places particular emphasis on helping companies understand how to translate their existing capabilities into competitive, scalable and market-responsive service export offerings.

Key areas covered during the coaching include:

· Developing Individual Service Export Strategies – enabling companies to define their export ambitions, value propositions, priority markets and practical market-entry approaches.

· Enhancing Export Readiness – strengthening companies’ understanding of the capabilities, systems, standards and commercial requirements necessary to successfully serve international markets.

· Target Market Selection – introducing practical approaches for identifying, assessing and prioritising markets based on demand, competitiveness, accessibility, regulatory considerations and commercial potential.

 

The 20 participating companies represent a broad range of service industries, demonstrating the growing diversity and innovation within Uganda’s service economy. These include logistics and freight forwarding, AI integration and digital solutions, digital medical solutions, tourism and hospitality, professional consulting services, digital payment solutions, among other emerging and knowledge-intensive services. The diversity of participants reflects the significant potential for Uganda and the wider EAC region to expand services exports, particularly in sectors driven by technology, innovation, professional expertise and digital transformation.

The coaching session forms part of EABC’s broader efforts under the LIFTED Project to strengthen the capacity of private sector players to take advantage of opportunities created by regional integration, AfCFTA and global trade in services. While the EAC provides an important first market for service exporters, the programme seeks to encourage companies to look beyond the regional market and develop the capabilities, strategies and partnerships required to compete across Africa and internationally.

The service sector is increasingly becoming a critical driver of economic growth, employment, innovation and competitiveness across the EAC Partner States. Strengthening the ability of service providers to export therefore has the potential to contribute significantly to increased foreign exchange earnings, business growth, job creation and broader economic transformation.

EABC appreciates the Government of Germany through GIZ and the European Union for their continued support to the implementation of the LIFTED Project and, in particular, for supporting initiatives that build the capacity and competitiveness of service sector enterprises. Through this partnership, EABC is able to work directly with businesses to address practical constraints affecting services exports and support enterprises to move from simply providing services domestically to deliberately developing exportable, competitive and internationally marketable services.

The LIFTED Project will continue supporting EABC to proactively promote and enhance services exports as a key contributor to the service sector and national GDPs of EAC Partner States. This will include strengthening private sector capacity, promoting awareness of available market opportunities, supporting export readiness and contributing to an enabling policy and regulatory environment for trade in services.

The ultimate objective is to build a stronger, more competitive and export-oriented East African services sector that can seize opportunities within the EAC, across Africa and in global markets.

 

SOMALIA MINISTER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY URGES BUSINESSES TO CAPITALIZE ON EAC AND AfCFTA OPPORTUNITIES

Trade and  Investment Roundtable, organised by the East African Business Council (EABC) in collaboration with the Somali Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI)in partnership with GIZ hosted H.E. Hon. Gamal Mohamed Hassan  Minister of Commerce and Industry of the Federal Republic of Somalia in a high level round table discussion.

EDUCATION POLICY SHOULD BE PART OF EVERY PARENT'S FINANCIAL PLAN

As a new school term begins, parents across the country are once again turning their attention to school fees, uniforms, books, transport, and the many other costs that come with giving their children a quality education. However, while back-to-school preparations often focus on meeting immediate expenses, they also provide an opportunity to think about a much bigger question: How prepared are you for your child’s future education needs?

For many parents, the biggest financial milestone is not buying a home, growing a business, or upgrading a car; it is ensuring their children have access to the best opportunities. As education costs continue to rise, financing quality education requires more than good intentions. It demands a deliberate strategy that protects future opportunities regardless of what life may bring.

While traditional savings play an important role, education policies introduce a critical element that ordinary savings accounts cannot provide, protection. An education policy is designed to ensure that a child's education remains funded even if the parent is no longer able to contribute due to death or permanent disability. This protection helps preserve long-term plans against life's uncertainties.

One of the most valuable features of structured education planning is predictability. Unlike market-linked investment products, education policy benefits are clearly defined at the outset, allowing families to plan with greater certainty around future education expenses. The policy also includes a premium waiver benefit. Should the policyholder pass away or become permanently disabled, future premiums are waived while the education plan continues towards maturity, helping ensure the intended education benefits are still available when needed.

The earlier parents begin planning, the more flexibility they have in achieving their goals. A longer investment horizon allows families to spread contributions over time while building a dedicated fund to support future educational needs.

With the Absa Education Policy, parents can choose a sum assured ranging from KES 100,000 to KES 5 million and select a payment period between five and eighteen years, depending on their education goals and financial circumstances. Benefits are guaranteed, provided premiums are maintained as agreed.

Furthermore, for many families, the challenge is not simply funding education today but ensuring those funds retain their value over time. Education inflation continues to outpace many household budgets, particularly for private secondary and tertiary education. To help address this risk, Absa's Education Policy offers optional inflation protection, allowing customers to increase their cover annually to help preserve purchasing power over the life of the policy.

Parents may also benefit from tax relief on qualifying policies with terms of ten years or longer, providing additional efficiency as part of a long-term financial plan. Perhaps the most compelling reason to plan for education is that it goes beyond financial returns. A well-funded education creates opportunities, expands choices, and empowers future generations to pursue their ambitions with confidence.

Ultimately, education planning is about more than paying school fees. It is about protecting a child’s opportunities and giving them the freedom to pursue their ambitions without their education being derailed by unforeseen financial circumstances. The best time to start planning for that future is long before the first school fee invoice arrives

SIMPLIFYING INSURANCE MANAGEMENT FOR BUSINESSES

By Ephraim Mutua

Business owners understand that having insurance cover is important, but they are likely to focus on protecting only one aspect of the business. The reality, however, is that unexpected events don’t affect just one area of the business. A single incident can disrupt daily operations, damage assets and cause financial setbacks that extend beyond the initial loss.

This is why comprehensive insurance has become an important part of business risk management. Rather than managing separate policies for different risks, businesses can benefit from a more comprehensive approach to insurance. Beyond simplifying insurance management, comprehensive cover offers advantages that can strengthen a business and support long-term growth.

Protects every part of the business

Business operations are interrelated. Buildings keep stock and equipment, employees support daily operations, while customers and suppliers keep the business running. When one part of the business is affected by an unexpected event, the impact can quickly spread to other areas, disrupting operations and affecting income. A combined insurance solution would generally cover fire, burglary, Work Injury Benefits, public liability, money cover, and Group Personal Accident under one policy, helping protect various aspects of the business.

Simplifies insurance management

As businesses expand, managing multiple insurance policies can become increasingly complex. Different renewal dates, policy terms and documentation often increase the administrative burden on business owners who are already balancing many responsibilities. With a comprehensive insurance solution, this process is simplified by combining relevant covers into a single policy which makes it easier to review protection regularly and to keep cover up to date as the business evolves. This allows entrepreneurs to focus on running and growing their businesses.

Supports sustainable growth

As businesses expand, they invest in new equipment, increase stock, employ more people, open additional locations or introduce new products and services. Each milestone creates new opportunities but also changes the business's exposure to risk. A comprehensive insurance solution provides the flexibility to review and adjust cover as these needs evolve. Rather than revisiting separate policies whenever operations change, businesses can take a more coordinated approach to managing their risks. This allows entrepreneurs to make important business decisions knowing they have taken practical steps to protect their investments, employees and their day-to-day operations.

Supports financial stability

For many Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, business growth requires careful financial planning. Funds are often allocated towards meeting everyday expenses. An unexpected event can quickly disrupt these plans, forcing businesses to redirect resources that were intended for growth towards recovering from losses.

Having comprehensive insurance cushions businesses against the financial impact of unforeseen events by protecting multiple areas. Instead of absorbing the full cost of losses, business owners have financial support that enables them to recover more effectively while protecting their working capital. This reduces the likelihood of financial setbacks.

OVER 50 ENTREPRENEURS GRADUATE FROM ENWEALTH FOUNDATION SEED PROGRAMME

 

More than 50 Kenyan entrepreneurs have graduated from the inaugural cohort of the Enwealth Foundation SEED Programme. This is the first cohort to complete a structured 12-week business-education initiative built around the proposition that Kenya's small and medium enterprises are held back as much by capability gaps as by access to finance.

The graduation, held in Nairobi’s Enwealth Business Centre on Saturday, marks the first cycle of a programme the Enwealth Foundation intends to run repeatedly.

This comes at a moment when policymakers, lenders and development partners are increasingly focused on why so many Kenyan SMEs stall before they scale. SMEs account for the bulk of employment in Kenya, yet Industry data has long shown that a large share of small businesses fail within their first five years, a pattern researchers attribute many factors such as shortage of ccapital and increasingly gaps in planning, governance, financial management and leadership.

The Enwealth Foundation, the philanthropic arm of financial services group Enwealth Financial Services Limited, set up the programme under its economic empowerment portfolio after concluding that funding alone was an incomplete answer to SME failure rates.

Over twelve weeks, the inaugural cohort worked through a curriculum spanning business planning and enterprise growth strategy, financial literacy and wealth stewardship, risk management, human resource practices for small teams, sales and distribution, and structured guidance on registering for and competing in public procurement.

A separate module addressed regulatory compliance and licensing, an area many small business owners in Kenya navigate without formal support. Participants also worked through a unit on digital tools and basic cybersecurity awareness, reflecting a growing recognition that technology adoption is now a competitiveness issue for small firms, not an optional extra.

The programme's faculty was drawn from established practitioners across finance, human resources, governance, branding and enterprise strategy, several with decades of experience advising public and private sector organisations in Kenya and the region.

Simon Wafubwa, Founder and CEO of of Enwealth Financial Services noted: "Capital without capability tends to produce the same outcome we have seen for years, businesses that start with promise and stall within a few years. We chose to invest in the entrepreneur first: in their planning discipline, their governance, their leadership. That is what determines whether a business survives its first difficult season, and whether it is still standing in ten years."

For graduating entrepreneur John Gitahi, the programme's value lay less in theory than in application. "I came in with a business that was surviving month to month. What changed was not just what I learned but how I now think about running it, the financial discipline, the planning, the confidence to make decisions I used to avoid. I am leaving with a plan I actually trust."

One of the programme’s facilitators, Ms. Eva Muraya, noted that technical skills alone rarely determine whether a small business survives and thrives. “Most entrepreneurs we meet are capable operators. What is often missing is the leadership and governance layer, how they make decisions under pressure, manage people, and build structures that can outlast them. That is what separates a business from a livelihood.” She added that a strong brand is built from within, with every aspect of a business—from its people, cash flow and operational efficiency to pricing, inventory, product packaging, accessibility, leadership and governance playing a role in strengthening or undermining the brand.

Kenya's SME sector continues to face a difficult operating environment, from tightening credit conditions to compliance burdens that disproportionately affect small operators. Programmes that address the capability side of that equation, leadership, governance, financial discipline and structured mentorship are increasingly relevant in tis market.

COPERATIVE BANK OF KENYA CEO DR GIDEON MURIUKI FACES PROSECUTION OVER Sh363 MILLION FRAUD CASE

The High Court has temporarily halted the prosecution of  Co-operative Bank of Kenya CEO Dr. Gideon Muriuki in connection with an alleged Sh363.3 million fraud at First Assurance Investment Company.

Justice Gregory Mutai on August 7 issued interim conservatory orders restraining the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) from arresting, charging, presenting for plea, or prosecuting both Co-op Bank and Muriuki.

The orders also suspend proceedings in Milimani Chief Magistrate’s Court Criminal Case No. E451 of 2026, Republic v Salim Mohammed Busaidy & six others  and any other criminal proceedings arising from the investigations against the bank and its CEO.

The court issued the orders after Co-op Bank and Muriuki filed a petition and application dated August 6. Respondents have been given 14 days to respond, with the matter set for mention on October 12, 2026.

The case stems from investigations into the alleged theft of Sh363,320,459 from First Assurance Investment Company.

The DPP had announced intentions to charge the CEOs of three top banks NCBA’s John Gachora, KCB’s Paul Russo, and Co-op Bank’s Gideon Muriuki  for alleged failure to report suspicious transactions. 

The three were expected to appear in court on August 11, 2026 to take plea over charges of failing to comply with reporting obligations under Section 5 as read with Section 44(2) of the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act.

Investigators allege that former First Assurance director Salim Mohamed Busaidy forged signatures to unlawfully withdraw company funds. The DPP has approved 120 charges against Busaidy, including conspiracy to defraud, stealing, and acquisition of proceeds of crime.

In court filings Co-op Bank and Muriuki are challenging the planned prosecution, arguing that the proceedings should be stopped pending determination of their petition.

The bank remains one of Kenya’s tier-1 lenders with a unique ownership structure where Saccos collectively control 64.56% of shares. Muriuki himself holds a 2.3% stake worth about Sh4.35 billion. 

This is not the first time Muriuki has faced legal scrutiny. In separate matters, a company associated with him,Gidjoy Investment Limited, has been involved in land disputes in Donholm. The bank has also previously been mentioned in DCI recommendations regarding the Sh8 billion NYS fraud probe currently the High Court orders bar any arrest or prosecution of Muriuki and Co-op Bank until the petition is heard.

KES 3.2 MILLION INJECTED IN KARURA FOREST RESTORATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION INITIATIVE

Prudential Life Assurance Kenya (“Prudential Kenya”), a subsidiary of leading Asia and Africa insurer Prudential plc (“Prudential”), and MDRT (Million Dollar Round Table), a global association of the world’s leading life insurance and financial services professionals, are investing USD 25,000 (KES 3.2 million) towards forest restoration and environmental education in Kenya.

The investment was made possible by Prudential’s premier sponsorship with MDRT, a global partnership that supports adviser development and professional excellence across Prudential’s markets. It follows the annual Prudential Africa and MDRT Conference that took place on 10-11 August in Nairobi, and comes at a critical time, as Kenya’s forest cover remains below the country’s constitutional target of 10 per cent, with forests covering approximately 8.8 per cent of its land area1. 

Through Friends of Karura Forest, a leading conservation organisation, the investment aims to support efforts to restore and protect one of Nairobi’s most important natural assets. Specifically, it will fund the planting of approximately 2,155 indigenous trees in Karura Forest, strengthen environmental education and engage communities in climate action. 

Spanning more than 2,500 acres, Karura Forest is one of the world's largest gazetted urban forests. As a carbon sink in the East Africa region, it plays an important role in safeguarding water catchments, supporting biodiversity and providing green public spaces for millions of Nairobi’s residents. 

In addition to forest restoration, this investment also aims to enhance sustainable environmental awareness among young people by supporting Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) environmental education sessions for around 720 learners, delivered in collaboration with the Karura Forest Environmental Education Trust (KFEET).

Gwen Kinisu, CEO and Managing Director of Prudential Kenya, said: "At Prudential, sustainability is central to how we support communities and build long-term resilience. This investment reflects our commitment to practical partnerships that protect vital natural ecosystems, expand environmental education and create meaningful value for the people and communities we serve across Kenya."

Rita Knapp, corporate sponsorship manager of MDRT, added: "At MDRT, we believe that creating lasting impact means supporting community initiatives in ways that extend well beyond financial services. We are proud to support Prudential and Friends of Karura Forest in restoring one of Kenya's most important urban ecosystems. This investment reflects our shared commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship."

Chantal Mariotte, Chairperson Karura Science Advisory Committee said: “Karura receives 75,000 visitors every month, providing a space for people to exercise, learn and reconnect with nature. Investments such as this help ensure the forest can continue benefitting communities, while creating opportunities through employment, environmental education and participation in conservation efforts.”

The investment builds on Prudential’s ongoing efforts to strengthen climate resilience and reflects the broader values underpinning its partnership with MDRT – supporting excellence, responsibility and whole-person development both within the profession and beyond. It also aligns with Prudential’s mission of being a trusted partner and protector for this generation and generations to come – for its customers, agents and the communities it serves. 

This commitment is further reflected in Prudential’s response to climate-related emergencies, as well as its longer-term investments in community resilience. Following the floods that affected Kenya in 2024, Prudential and its community investment arm, Prudence Foundation, contributed approximately KES 9.3 million2, alongside food donations and employee fundraising, to support affected communities. 

Prudential is also working to reduce the environmental impact of its operations. Between 2016 and 2024, Prudential reduced its Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissions by 59 per cent3, while emissions intensity per employee fell by 77 per cent4, reflecting its commitment to building a more sustainable future across Asia and Africa.

AI WILL NOT REPLACE LAWYERS LAWYERS USING AI WILL

 Advocate of the High Court and MMC Asafo Partner Kenneth Wilson has told delegates at the Law Society of Kenya Annual Conference that the debate around Artificial Intelligence in law should shift from fear to adaptation.

Speaking during the conference at Diamonds Leisure Beach and Golf Resort, Wilson dismissed claims that AI is here to replace lawyers. Instead, he argued that the real threat is to lawyers who refuse to adapt.

"Many have argued that artificial intelligence is here to replace lawyers. To the contrary, lawyers who adapt to the use of artificial intelligence are the ones who will replace the lawyers who do not want to adapt to it,” Wilson said.

Wilson commended LSK for making AI the central theme of this year’s conference, saying the society has done well to alert its membership that the technology “is here and it’s not going anywhere.”

He noted that the Judiciary has already begun integrating AI, particularly in generating summaries of the bulky court filings that advocates submit daily. 

However, he cautioned on responsible use. Wilson pointed to cases where practitioners, in a bid to cut corners, fed prompts into AI tools and ended up citing non-existent cases. 

“We have very many cases where lazy people in the practice would decide to feed prompt the tools to assist and the tools would come up with cases that are non-existent. We’ve had an instance in the US where the court came out clearly and blasted a lawyer that decided to come up with cases that do not exist whatsoever through the prompting of AI,” he warned.

He urged advocates to learn how to use AI tools positively while maintaining critical thinking. “It is more of embracing that AI is here. It is not even the future, it is the current. And ensuring that you do as much as possible to learn how to positively use the tools to make your work easier.”

Asked whether AI would create a divide between wealthy and ordinary clients, Wilson said the issue is more about knowledge than money.

“I think it’s relative. Wealth is relative, right? Not everyone. Let’s use Gemini. Google has Gemini. It’s part of your phone for those using Androids. For those using Apple, they also have their AI. So that person with that phone is not really wealthy, but they have the ability to use the tools that have come with the phone,” he explained.

He acknowledged that premium AI tools require monthly or annual subscriptions, but argued that the growing trend will democratize access. 

“You will find there are those who are wealthy but don’t know how to use the tools. So the fact that it is there and knowing how to use it, that is all that counts irrespective of your wealth status,” Wilson concluded.

INTERESTING TIMES AHEAD IN LEGAL PROFESSION AS TECHNOLOGY EVOLVES

The Law Society of Kenya is once again holding its annual migration to the coast, with the LSK Annual Conference 2026  underway at the Diamonds Leisure Beach and Golf Resort.

Among the key side events drawing senior and young advocates is the LSK Men’s Conference, a dedicated forum tackling the unique challenges facing male lawyers in practice today.

Speaking during the conference Advocate Lawrence Kinyanjui has said the platfom provides a candid platform for male advocates to discuss professional welfare, mentorship, mental health, and leadership in the legal profession. It sits alongside other LSK forums including the Women’s Breakfast, Young Lawyers Forum, and In-House Counsel’s Forum.

In previous years, the discussions have ranged from balancing family and practice, to the pressures of litigation, client management, and the culture of the Bar. The goal: to foster support networks and stronger professional conduct among male members of the Bar.

Artificial intelligence is creating a technological transformation in the workplace so profound that it is disrupting and unraveling how we view and see the workplace. The question before us is not whether lawyers will become obsolete. The real question before us is whether we are prepared to evolve said kinyanjui.

With AI set to reshape legal research, client communication, and dispute resolution, the Men’s Conference is expected to address how male practitioners, especially those in litigation and solo practice, can adapt, upskill, and remain competitive.

The Legal Fraternity’s Annual Pilgrimage 

The LSK conference returns to  Diamonds Leisure Beach and Golf Resort a venue that has hosted the society’s biggest gathering for years.

For many, the Diani conference is more than CPD points. As one reflection noted, it’s “a celebration of camaraderie, tradition, and the evolution of the legal practice in Kenya”.

Past conferences have featured hard-hitting debates on constitutionalism, judicial accountability, and public finance. In 2025, the theme was  “Protecting Constitutionalism and the Rule of Law  Ensuring Accountability”

The conference runs for five days and offers up to 4 CPD points for full attendance.

The LSK Annual Conference continues to be the largest gathering of legal professionals in East Africa, bringing together over 2000 advocates, judges, and policymakers to shape the future of law in Kenya.

AI SHAPES LEGAL CAREER AMID REGULATIONS DEVELOPMENTS GAPS

Human rights advocate Joshua Nyambane has appreciated the new technology of Artificial intelligence in the legal profession saying it has brought the much needed change but cannot replace human work.

Speaking in the sidelines of annual law society of Kenya  conference in Diani Nyambane has called on proper use of AI to make work easier and rope in the traditional and modern ways in the legal profession.

Across the world AI has caused major disruptions which has send the shock waves in all careers therefore creating a gap in policy management and regulations to incorporate it's use without affecting human capacity.

The annual conference enters it's homestretch as it concludes tomorrow with a golf tournament having brought together thousands of legal minds in what is said to be a great networking and learning experience.

SUNSHINE DEVELOPMENT TOUR HEADS TO RUIRU FOR FIFTH LEG

 All is set for the Absa Ruiru Invitational, the fifth leg of the Sunshine Development Tour  East Africa Swing, with a strong field of golfers expected to battle for honours at Ruiru Sports Club from Sunday, 16th to Tuesday, 18th August.

The main tournament action will be preceded by a Pro-Am on Saturday, 15 August, bringing together professional golfers and amateur players for a preview of the competition and an opportunity for partners, stakeholders and golf enthusiasts to experience the Ruiru course ahead of the three-day championship.

The tournament has attracted a diverse field of 63 professionals, amateurs and junior golfers from across the region, setting the stage for another competitive three days of golf as players seek valuable Sunshine Development Tour Order of Merit points, Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) and World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) points.Among those expected to headline the field are Kakamega Sports Club's Dismas Indiza and Royal Nairobi's John Lejirma, who return to Ruiru after producing one of the most dramatic finishes of last year's tournament.

Indiza, who started the final round five shots behind Lejirma, mounted a remarkable comeback to tie at 4-under par 212 after regulation. He then edged Lejirma in a sudden-death playoff with a birdie on the par-4 18th to claim the title.

The two will be joined by a strong cast of Kenyan professionals including Samuel Njoroge Chege, Greg Snow, Daniel Nduva, Michael Karanga, David Wakhu, Edwin Mudanyi, Mohit Mediratta and Taimur Malik, among others.

Rwanda's Celestin Nsanzuwera will lead the international challenge, with players from Uganda, Nigeria, Tanzania, Ghana, Malawi and Burundi also expected to feature, underlining the growing regional and continental reach of the Sunshine Development Tour.

The field also includes a number of emerging and amateur golfers, providing them with an opportunity to test themselves against established professionals while gaining valuable competitive experience.

Speaking ahead of the tournament, Tournament Director David Kihara said the strength of the field and the history of the Ruiru leg should make for another closely contested tournament.

“Ruiru has consistently delivered competitive golf, and we are expecting another exciting contest this year. We have a strong field bringing together experienced professionals, emerging players and amateurs from across the region, which should make for a very competitive three days. 

The return of players such as Dismas Indiza and John Lejirma also adds an interesting dimension given what happened here last year. We look forward to welcoming the players and fans to Ruiru and seeing who will emerge as this year’s champion.”

The Absa Ruiru Invitational is supported by Absa Bank Kenya as part of its ongoing partnership with the Sunshine Development Tour. The Bank is supporting three legs of the Tour this season, including the Ruiru event.

The tournament forms part of the Sunshine Development Tour's broader pathway for golfers seeking to progress to higher levels of professional golf, with players competing for ranking points and opportunities to advance towards the Sunshine Tour.

LESS THAN ONE PERCENT OF KENYAN FARMERS HAVE CROP INSURANCE

OPINION

By John Gangla

Agriculture is more than just another sector of Kenya's economy; it is the foundation upon which millions of livelihoods, our national food security, and rural prosperity depend. The sector contributes approximately one-fifth of Kenya's Gross Domestic Product directly and supports many more jobs through manufacturing, transport, trade and agro-processing. More importantly, it provides employment and income for most rural households.Yet agriculture is also the sector most exposed to climate risk.

Every planting season has increasingly become a gamble against drought, floods, pests, diseases and unpredictable weather patterns. Climate change is no longer a future threat it is today's farming reality.This year has once again illustrated the scale of that challenge.

Across the country, erratic rainfall has devastated harvests and left thousands of farming households facing uncertainty. In Nakuru County, one maize farmer harvested 120 bags from five acres last season. This year, from the same land, using similar farming practices, he harvested only 26 bags.

His experience reflects what thousands of farmers are enduring across Kenya.

In Taita Taveta County, widespread crop failure has left tens of thousands of residents facing food insecurity, while in West Pokot, thousands of households require food assistance despite living adjacent to one of Kenya's major grain-producing regions.

Meteorological forecasts continue to warn of increasing climate variability, including the likelihood of severe flooding in some areas and prolonged dry spells in others. These extremes threaten agricultural production, household incomes and national food security.For farming families, crop failure means much more than reduced harvests. It often translates into depleted savings, inability to repay loans, withdrawal of children from school, reduced investment in future production and increased dependence on humanitarian assistance.

This is precisely why agricultural insurance must become a central pillar of Kenya's agricultural transformation agenda.

Last year, Kenyans spent KSh2 billion insuring their crops and animals according to data from the Insurance Regulatory Authority. While this nearly doubled the amounts spent the previous year, the uptake remains paltry with fewer than one percent of Kenya's farmers reported to insure their crops. 

This gap represents one of the greatest untapped opportunities to strengthen resilience within our agricultural sector.Agricultural insurance is frequently misunderstood as a product that simply compensates farmers after disasters occur. It is a risk financing mechanism that gives farmers the confidence to invest in improved seed, fertilizer, irrigation, mechanisation and better farming practices because they know catastrophic weather events will not completely wipe out their investment.

Insurance also strengthens the entire agricultural value chain.Financial institutions are more willing to lend to insured farmers. Agribusinesses gain more reliable suppliers. Governments spend less on emergency relief. Rural economies recover more quickly following climate shocks.

The evidence supporting agricultural insurance continues to grow.

An independent evaluation of the aMaizing Project in Kenya, implemented by the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, part of CGIAR, found that farmers participating in a bundled index-based crop insurance programme achieved average maize yield gains of 315 kilograms per acre and improved household food security by almost 14 percent compared with non-participating farmers. 

Importantly, the programme combined insurance with climate advisories, farmer education and digital support services, demonstrating that insurance delivers the greatest impact when integrated into broader agricultural risk management systems.Similarly, evidence highlighted by the UNDP Sustainable Finance Hub shows that insured smallholder farmers are significantly more likely to invest in long-term climate adaptation measures. 

The same studies indicate that integrating agricultural insurance into agricultural finance programmes increases farmers' access to credit while reducing loan defaults following climate-related shocks.Insurance therefore creates confidence, not only for farmers, but also for banks, agribusinesses, investors and development partners.Despite these demonstrated benefits, uptake remains disappointingly low.Several factors contribute to this.

Awareness remains limited. Many farmers have never received adequate information about how agricultural insurance works or how claims are assessed and paid. Others perceive insurance simply as an additional production cost rather than an investment in business continuity.

Affordability also remains a challenge for many smallholder farmers operating with limited disposable income.

On the supply side, insurers face increasing uncertainty as climate change makes weather events more frequent and more severe. This increases underwriting complexity and requires continuous investment in improved climate data, satellite monitoring and actuarial modelling.

Fortunately, Kenya has already laid an important foundation.

The Government's Kenya Agricultural Insurance Programme (KAIP) has demonstrated that public-private partnerships can significantly expand insurance access for vulnerable farmers. Building upon this success will require increased investment in farmer education, premium support for vulnerable households, improved weather observation infrastructure and stronger collaboration between national government, county governments, insurers and development partners.

Technology also presents an unprecedented opportunity.Modern agricultural insurance is increasingly powered by satellite imagery, remote sensing, automated weather stations, drones, artificial intelligence and digital claims assessment. These technologies improve underwriting accuracy, reduce operating costs and enable faster, more transparent claims settlement.

Equally important is the rapid growth of parametric (index-based) insurance, where payouts are triggered automatically when objective weather indicators such as rainfall, vegetation health or temperature reach predetermined thresholds. This approach reduces disputes, speeds up compensation and makes insurance more affordable for smallholder farmers.

Kenya is uniquely positioned to scale these innovations.With widespread mobile phone ownership and world-leading mobile money infrastructure, farmers can now purchase insurance, receive weather advisories, report losses and receive claim payments digitally even in remote rural areas.

At Minet, we are working with insurers, financial institutions, agribusinesses, county governments and development partners to design agricultural insurance solutions that reflect the realities of Kenya's diverse farming systems. Beyond arranging insurance, we are committed to promoting farmer education, strengthening agricultural risk management and supporting climate resilience across the value chain.

However, no single institution can solve this challenge alone.

Government must continue strengthening enabling policies and investing in climate information systems. County governments should integrate agricultural insurance into county agricultural extension programmes and climate adaptation strategies.

Banks and SACCOs should increasingly bundle insurance with agricultural credit.

Agribusinesses should incorporate insurance into contract farming arrangements.

Development partners should continue supporting innovation, premium financing and farmer education.The insurance industry must continue simplifying products, improving customer experience and expanding digital distribution channels.

Most importantly, farmers themselves must begin viewing insurance not as an optional expense but as an essential investment in protecting their livelihoods.Countries around the world have demonstrated what is possible when agricultural insurance becomes part of national agricultural policy. While Kenya's farming systems differ from those of larger economies, the underlying principle remains universal: resilient agriculture requires resilient farmers. Climate change is already redefining the future of farming.

Our response must be equally transformative.

Just as quality seed, irrigation, mechanisation and extension services have become essential agricultural inputs, agricultural insurance must now be recognised as critical national infrastructure for building food security, protecting rural livelihoods and sustaining economic growth.Protecting farmers is not simply an insurance issue.

It is a national development imperative.

HARM REDUCTION SOCIETY OF KENYA CALLS FOR REDUCTION OF PESTICIDES COST

DR.NASHON OKANGA EXECUTIVE MEMBER HARM REDUCTION SOCIETY 

The harm reduction society of Kenya has called on the government to lower the cost of pesticides used in farming to ensure highly hazardous pesticides are not used by farmers and ensure proper labelling of pesticides.

According to Doctor Nashon okanga executive member of harm reduction society Kenya has over 70 percent use of harmful pesticides and has to discuss food safety over food security and enforce regulations to ban hazardous pesticides which have been banned in other countries but find their way into Kenyan market.

Pesticides have human health effects and contain Endocrine disruption which affects the hormone system, carcinogenic which causes cancer, mutagenic which changes genetic material,neurotoxic which is toxic to nervous system.

Harm reduction society focuses on pesticide harm reduction, alcohol harm reduction, tobacco harm reduction and cannabis harm reduction and has recommended the government to implement integrated pest management strategies and invest in research on bio pesticides and Biocontrol methods and also encourage proper use of PPEs.

EABC, EADB AND GIZ ANNOUNCE EAST AFRICA CEO & INVESTMENT FORUM 2026 AT TANZANIA CEOs TRADE AND INVESTMENT ROUNDTABLE

The Chief Guest of the EABC CEOsTrade and Investment Roundtable Tanzania Edition, H.E. Amb. Stephen P. Mbundi, Secretary General of the East African Community (EAC), has urged the private sector to expand trade operations and investments across the region to boost job creation and prosperity.

H.E. Amb. Mbundi lauded the East Africa CEO and Investment Forum 2026, scheduled for 17th–18th September 2026 in Nairobi, as a platform to champion East Africa as one of the most ideal investment destinations on the continent. He applauded the strong commitment and vision of the EAC Heads of State to increase intra-EAC trade to 50% by 2030.

"Our priority as the EAC Secretariat is to implement the vision and commitment of increasing intra-EAC trade. This must become the benchmark against which every policy, partnership and reform is measured. Achieving this target will require genuine collaboration between governments and the private sector," said H.E. Amb. Stephen P. Mbundi.

In his remarks, Mr. Ahmed Farah, Executive Director of EABC, stated: "Regional integration must be built with business, not simply for business. The private sector must be at the centre of shaping policies that make East Africa more competitive and investment ready."

He emphasised that a strong regional market creates resilience to compete globally and called for the elimination of Non Tariff Barriers (NTBs), addressing uneven implementation of the Common External Tariff (CET), divergent tax regimes, and high transport and logistics costs.

In his remarks, "A larger, more predictable and better-connected East African market creates opportunities not only for the region but also for responsible international investment and stronger economic partnerships. Germany is committed to supporting platforms that connect governments, investors and businesses to turn opportunities into concrete investments and jobs," stated Mr. Maximilian Müller, Deputy Head of Mission at the German Embassy in the United Republic of Tanzania.

He noted that the dialogue also marks the beginning of a broader journey through the Invest.EastAfrica! platform. Following the successful inaugural forum, the initiative is being expanded through national sector-specific editions starting this September across East Africa, culminating in the next Invest.EastAfrica! Forum in Germany.

Mr. Stephen Wambura, Country Manager, East African Development Bank (EADB), stated:"The East African Development Bank is committed to financing the businesses that will drive regional integration, industrialisation and sustainable economic growth across the East African Community."

He added that EADB is proud to co convene the upcoming East Africa CEO and Investment Forum 2026 with EABC.

 

Delivering remarks on behalf of Ms. Angelina Ngalula, Immediate Past Chairperson of EABC, Mr. Deogratius Massawe, Executive Director of

Tanzania Private Sector Federation (TPSF), commended the Governments of EAC Partner States on the Ministerial directive to eliminate discriminatory taxes, fees, quotas and charges, and to treat EAC originating goods as transfers rather than imports. He noted that these measures are important steps towards making the EAC Common Market a reality.

Mr. Leodegard Tenga, Executive Director of the Confederation of Tanzania Industries (CTI), stated: "The evolving global economic landscape calls for deeper regional integration and industrial development through strengthened regional value chains."

Hon. Dr. Gladness Salema, Member of the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA), stated: "For the East African Community to achieve transformational integration and become globally competitive, we must pursue intentional integration that goes beyond policy commitments. We need to invest in complementary regional value chains, leverage our comparative advantages, and build production systems that enable East Africa to compete effectively in global markets."

Delivering remarks on behalf of Mr. Charles Ngeleja Kadonya, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation responsible for EAC Affairs, Mr. Amadeus Mzee stated:

"The Tanzania Development Vision 2050 places the private sector at the centre of economic transformation, recognising businesses as key drivers of investment, employment creation, technological advancement and export growth."

The EABC CEOs Trade & Investment Roundtable brought together over 70 government leaders, business executives, private sector associations and development partners to discuss strategies for enhancing East Africa’s competitiveness in intra- and extra-EAC trade and investment.

The Roundtable featured presentations on Tanzania’s Investment Opportunities and Incentive Regime by Tanzania Investment and Special Economic Zones Authority(TISEZA) and the Tanzania Economic Outlook by PwC, providing insights into economic trends, trade prospects and investment opportunities.

The afternoon session will focus on Private Sector Perspectives on Intra- and Extra-EAC Trade and Investment, featuring sector leaders from manufacturing, trade, transport and logistics, tourism, financial services, agriculture, horticulture and other cross-cutting business sectors.

The Roundtable discussions and proposals will inform the development of the EAC Trade and Investment Climate Report, which will be launched during the East Africa CEO and Investment Forum in September 2026.

In 2025, intra EAC trade stood at US$19.7 billion, compared to US$137 billion in trade with the rest of the world, highlighting the significant opportunity to deepen regional trade and integration.

Mbundi also called upon the private sector to fully utilise the Single Customs Territory to enhance border efficiency and facilitate seamless movement of goods across the region.

30% GROWTH EXPECTED IN ON-PREMISE LAUNDRY MARKET AS DEMAND SURGES ACROSS KENYA KEY SECTORS

 Demand for On-Premise Laundry (OPL) solutions is expected to grow by approximately 30% over the coming year as businesses increasingly invest in in-house laundry facilities, according to projections by LG Electronics (LG) East Africa and its distribution partner, Hotpoint Appliances.

The broader commercial laundry market is also gathering pace, with demand for commercial laundry solutions increasing by an estimated 15% over the last year following initiatives driving improved access to financing and greater awareness of the sector's commercial potential, encouraging more businesses to invest in professional laundry operations.

The growth reflects a significant shift in how organisations view laundry operations. Traditionally, commercial laundry equipment was bulky, expensive and required substantial upfront capital investment, placing it beyond the reach of many businesses. More compact, energy-efficient technologies, together with flexible financing options, are now making commercial-grade laundry solutions accessible to a much wider range of organisations.

For instance, mid-range traditional commercial laundry equipment targeting hotels can cost up KES1 million a piece. In comparison, it takes approximately Ksh 1.5 million to Ksh 2 million to establish a complete laundry set-up, comprising up to three sets of LG brand washers and dryers. At the same time, many of the traditional commercial laundry equipment is bulky, comprising 30 – 40 Kg loads, making them unsuitable for when the load is small.

Demand for OPL is particularly strong across hospitality, healthcare, residential developments, student accommodation, manufacturing facilities, diplomatic missions and other institutions where reliable, high-volume laundry operations are essential. Moving away from outsourcing the function, many organisations are choosing to establish dedicated on-premise laundry facilities to improve operational efficiency and reduce long-term operating costs.

"By investing in on-premise facilities, institutions gain greater control over quality, turnaround times and operating costs while improving the overall customer experience,” said Donghun Lee, the CEO of LG East Africa.  

Unlike outsourced laundry services, on-premise facilities allow businesses to process linen and garments according to their own schedules, while providing greater visibility over operating costs. Modern commercial equipment also enable businesses to optimise water and energy consumption.

"The commercial laundry market continues to present significant opportunities for both entrepreneurs and institutions," said Hotpoint Appliances CEO, Ravi Kanani. "While investor-owned laundromats continue to grow, we are seeing even stronger interest from organisations that want greater operational control through on-premise laundry facilities. Businesses are recognising that investing in their own facilities can deliver significant long-term operational and financial benefits."

The expansion comes as East Africa's hospitality, healthcare and residential sectors continue to grow, increasing demand for reliable, high-capacity laundry operations. Hotels are investing in OPL facilities to improve guest experience through faster linen turnaround and hospitals are strengthening infection prevention protocols with dedicated in-house processing. Meanwhile, residential and student accommodation developments are incorporating shared commercial laundry facilities as a value-added amenity.

“From a consumer perspective, we are seeing a greater preference towards convenience . There is growing preference for homes and construction developments with on-site laundry, creating a loop that ultimately drives developers to consider such facilities in their designs. The same goes for other real estate developments, including residential rentals, and facilities as well as student accommodation. ” said Jane Kariuki, the Marketing Lead at LG East Africa.

To support this growing market, LG and Hotpoint continue to expand access to advanced commercial laundry technologies designed for high-volume operations. The solutions combine high-capacity performance with energy-efficient operation, intelligent monitoring technologies and remote diagnostics that simplify facility management.
