While investment companies are slowly selling to Kenyans the idea of paper wealth in the form of stocks, T-Bills and Bonds, Kenyan’s still want property. And this makes a lot of sense, the tangible nature of property makes an owner feel a sense of security. Moreover, you have much more control over your asset...
A while back, I was scrolling through Instagram and one video by a Kenyan “investment” coach took me by shock.
