Raging wars in the Middle East and European regions are among the biggest external risks for businesses in Kenya, a new survey shows, amid concerns that the conflicts could trigger supply disruptions and raise prices. The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) study has revealed that company executives consider geopolitical tensions the biggest external threat to business operations. “The major external (non-domestic) threats to business expansion growth include geopolitical tensions given their impact on global supply chains, energy prices, and macroeconomic volatility,” says the CBK in its September CEOs survey.

In William Ruto, Gachagua has met his match, a formidable counterpart equally unyielding and fiercely ambitious. In the shadows of Mt Kenya, where loyalty to Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA) pulsed like lifeblood, Gachagua’s presence seemed almost incidental. His late brother Nderitu Gachagua — the man he claims to hold wealth for — was far more infamous, weaving his legacy through the murky alleys of sleaze. It was within these circles of shadowy transactions that Nderitu Gachagua amassed his fortune, and where his brother Rigathi Gachagua mastered the art of tenderpreneurship. If Mt Kenya stays with him, it is only to save their son from the State.

The sensational murder of former Maharashtra minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Baba Siddique has ignited an intense debate about public safety and law enforcement in Mumbai. Baba Siddique’s murder has sparked concerns that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang is trying to expand its presence in Mumbai. The use of young contract killers, with no criminal past and a cross-state network in planning and executing Baba Siddique’s murder mirrors methods reminiscent of Mumbai’s once-powerful underworld, suggesting a possible revival of organized crime syndicated once controlled by fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. Baba Siddique’s murder has triggered calls for a thorough probe by the CBI to ensure accountability and prevent political leaders from influencing the ongoing investigation. While the killing indeed points to a serious law and order failure, it would be too early to say that it also signals a return of Mumbai’s dark underworld.
