Show notes

When we are asked to identify the East African region’s big brother, we look to Kenya. It’s the richest country in the 8-nation East African community, its home to the biggest metropolis, Nairobi, it’s the regional manufacturing hub and its currency is the strongest. Its Gross Domestic Product in 2021 was slightly over 110 billion dollars. In comparison Rwanda’s was just over $11.5 Bn. Its city of Mombasa is an absolutely important port of entry into and out of East Africa A nation with such strategic value has no choice but to be stable because if it sneezes, the rest of the region will catch a cold. Unfortunately, it seems like Kenya is in the midst of a sneezing fit. To help us make sense of the fast moving and complex events, I am joined by Kenyan veteran journalist Eugene Anangwe. Currently based here in Kigali, Eugene is currently the country manager of CNBC Africa. Before that he was the founding Chief Executive Officer of Cape Media Ltd, the owners of TV 47 Kenya and Radio 47. He has also been a Senior Anchor and Producer in Standard Media Group.
