The government is not broke then. I read that with a raised eyebrow. We’re being taxed more, paying more for items such as fuel and then we get news that a new fleet of Mercedes Benz cars are being bought for judges. Just who makes these decisions in the first place? The police were on a go slow because they demanded better pay, the government was and still is being reluctant to meet their demands. However, one individual somewhere went to the dealerships with a purchase order for a fleet of new cars.

Modern banking as we know it began in Italy it spread out to the rest of Europe. These guys, I must say, were the trend setters of the day I think it had something to do with their accents, I mean who can say no to an Italian?

It’s time to up the ante. Take it to the next level. Time to show your partner you can change things up a bit, it does not always have to be the same thing all the time.

It's going to cost more than KES 1 billion to set up climate change procedures in Kenya. With millions of people living in abject poverty, is the country really equipped to deal with environmental issues?

Today Hip hop is generally accepted and it's influence on urban culture the world over can't go unnoticed. Its artistes gross millions of dollars annually and some have grown their fortunes to near billions. A sign of meticulous money management. We have Jay-Z being invited to perform in Obama's Presidential campaigns to a mainly white audience or Forbes magazine compiling lists of the industry's top earners or the next door teens trying to dress like and copy Camp Mulla.

On a daily basis, I get customers who walk in and ask for loans. Naturally, I ask to look at the account statements as the bare minimum before determining viability of the application and advising whether to proceed, or forget.
