ONE MAN BUILDING CITIES IN KENYA

Image
The Genesis of Pure & Delightful Joy   A story is said of a man who build an entire city single-handedly, what we are not told though in this story is the fact that, the said city was build from a dream, vision, commitment and partnership with the residents. Back in 2018, a dream was born by the slopes of Mua Hills, a few minutes drive from Koma Hills off Kangundo Road and only 1.3km off Koma-Kenol Road. A project, 100 acres huge, sitting by the slopes of Mua hills, facing Lukenya hills at a distance, Koma Hill and Kilima Mbogo at the other horizon, was birthed. The beauty of this project immediately created an awesome feeling, so intense and relaxation, and a name was given, The Garden Of Joy. To some, this was the best news ever, after dreaming for so long to own a place near Nairobi County, a gated Community with all social amenities like water, power, greening, children play areas, recreation centers and even a 24 hours caretaker and security. But as they sa...

7 Life Lessons You Can Learn From An Ant

Image
  “ What can an ant teach me ?” I hear you ask. You’d be surprised. Generally, the easiest way to live life is to learn from others’ past failures and accomplishments. It is, however, more challenging to take advice from someone who has not yet benefited from their own solutions, like a homeless man giving a talk on ‘how to be a billionaire’. Ants, on the other hand, fall into the successful category, and can teach us how they suceed time and time again. 1. Ants are driven by purpose By purpose I mean having a clear long term objective or goal which shapes everything you do. For example, one ant’s sole job description is to find food for the colony. This is his purpose, and all that he inputs this time and energy into, and so it compounds his chances of success. Unless you are paid to respond to Facebook messages and Twitter updates within the hour, then more important activities should precede your level of engagement with social media. Unless of course, part of your goals incorpo...

  How to Close a Sale: 7 Tips for Sealing the Deal Contrary to popular belief, when it comes to closing sales, it isn't about numbers—it's about people. The minute you take your focus off your customer and make it more about your numbers, your client will feel the shift.  *Step 1: Identify the decision makers*  Over 40% of sales reps say prospecting is the most difficult part of the sales process, and even the best sales pitch doesn't amount to much if you're not talking to the right people.  *Step 2: Do your homework*  Now that you know who the decision makers are, it’s time to tailor your presentation to them. Research as much as you can about not only the pain points of their organization, but also about your competitors and why your product can serve your client’s needs better. This stage of planning also includes the minutia of forms, paperwork, and pricing so that you can go into your pitch fully prepared rather than frazzled.  *Step 3: Pitch the solu...

  CAN FOREIGNERS OWN LAND IN KENYA?   *Question* : Can I, as a foreigner own land in Kenya?    *Answer* : The provisions of law regulating landholding by non-citizens is found in the Constitution of Kenya, the Lands Act (Act No. 6 of 2012) and the Land Registration Act (Act No. 3 of 2012).   Under the provisions of the Kenyan laws above, non-citizens can only hold land for a period of 99 years under a leasehold tenure. This essentially means that a non-citizen cannot hold freehold property.   The Constitution further provides that in the event that a non-citizen holds any title document which purports to confer a non-citizen an interest in land greater than a 99 year lease, the provision shall be regarded as conferring on the person 99 year leasehold interest, and no more.      *Question* : What is the difference between freehold and leasehold land?    *Answer* : Freehold land It is the greatest interest a person can have on la...
