At the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) meeting, Ndindi Nyoro emphasized the importance of meaningful engagement in economic discussions.
 Hmoe urged participants not to treat conferences as mere formalities or entertainment, but as platforms for practical learning and actionable decision-making.
Using a case study approach, he highlighted development progress in Kiharu, particularly in education through programs like subsidized secondary schooling supported by NG-CDF. He argued that targeted investments, especially in education, produce strong multiplier effects and long-term economic transformation.
On the broader economy, he explained that growth should not be judged only by political statements but by measurable data — especially GDP growth. He clarified that GDP is a result, not a starting point, and that real economic growth comes from improving the variables that make up GDP: consumption, investment,
government spending, and net exports.
Nyoro distinguished between the quantitative economy (inflation, GDP, interest rates, exchange rates) and the qualitative economy (quality of life, education, healthcare, living standards). He stressed that true development must improve both.
His central message was that Kenya’s economic growth requires deliberate policy decisions focused on increasing investment, productivity, and exports, rather than relying on rhetoric. He called on professionals, especially accountants, to use data and knowledge gathered in such forums to influence responsible fiscal and economic decision-making.
In summary, his address focused on:
Practical and interactive engagement in policy discussions
Education as a catalytic investment
Understanding GDP as a result of key economic variables
The need for data-driven, deliberate economic transformation
Moving beyond slogans to measurable growth

Consortium of August 7 Victims Expresses Frustration After High Court Dismisses Compensation Claims

Story by Ayubu John photo journalist from Afrimedia Group news   The High Court has dismissed a petition seeking compensation for survivors and families of the August 7, 1998 U.S. Embassy bombing, a decision that has sparked frustration and disappointment among those affected. The petitioners had argued that the Kenyan government ignored prior warnings that could have prevented the attack, which killed over 200 people and injured thousands. In his ruling, Justice Lawrence Mugambi said the petitioners failed to present credible evidence showing the State had actionable intelligence or neglected to act. Many of the reports submitted were ruled hearsay, as the authors did not testify in court. “The burden of proof lies on those who seek the court’s intervention,” Justice Mugambi emphasized. Strong Reaction from Victims’ Representatives The Consortium of August 7 victims, which represents survivors and families affected by the bombing, described...

Savannah Honey Unveils Africa’s First Bee Venom Marketplace

Story by Ayubu John photo journalist Afrimedia Group news  Kenya’s apiculture sector has received a major boost following the launch of Africa’s first organized Bee Venom Marketplace by Savannah Honey, in an event officiated by Wycliffe Oparanya, Cabinet Secretary for Cooperatives and MSMEs. The initiative marks a strategic shift from traditional honey production to high-value bee products such as venom, propolis, pollen, royal jelly and beeswax — positioning Kenya to tap into a global bee venom market currently valued at about US$370 million. Savannah Honey CEO Kyalo Mutua said African farmers have long been unable to benefit from bee venom due to lack of structured markets, quality standards and coordination. The new marketplace aims to address these challenges by offering standardized collection methods, farmer training, traceability systems and guaranteed market access. Under the model, a single hive can produce up to 10 grams of venom annual...
