So I read today’s newspaper the story about Akasha. The reporter gives all clues but avoids mentioning any names… Check parts of the story below.
“Two of the governors are from the ruling Jubilee Party, while the third was elected on an ODM ticket. The ODM governor is sought alongside his brother.”
“The Cabinet secretary who is wanted by the FBI was massively involved in Jubilee campaigns.”
“The CAS on the the list is a renowned politician rewarded by Jubilee for swimming against the tide on ODM political turf”
“Then there is a vocal MP from the Rift Valley allied to Ruto and serving a second term in office. He has been outspoken in opposing the ongoing graft purge”
“Also on the wanted list is a former Jubilee governor who lost in controversial circumstances in the last election and a former female MP from Mount Kenya region.The ex-MP is known to have deep pockets and serious political connections”
“A controversial politician from Western Kenya who ran for election in Nairobi in 2007 is also on the list of shame”
end of story.
In other mushene news, some mall owners wanalia kwa Choo. I have ranked some of the malls with 10/10 being totally ghost and 0/10 being extremely busy mall.
Juja city mall- Has three floors. Top floor yote is empty. Second floor has only one shop- a chips shop. The limping mall is being sustained by Tuskys. This I give it a 9/10 in the ghost mall scale.
Spur mall- they opened naivas on ground floor and laviva lounge on 5th floor. There’s nothing else to write about this mall. Next door there’s a theme park being constructed. It may drive traffic to that mall. Has potential so I give it a 5/10
KU Unicity- Terrible idea. Never been there but I understand it has one tenant- Equity Bank. Not sure why they thought it was a good idea to come up with a mall and not a research and innovation hub. Anyway, they’re constructing an exit to make it easy to access. This gets 10/10 in the ghost mall scale.
Mountain Mall- Never been inside. The owner of this mall also owns Juja city mall and Jimlizer hotel in Eastlands. Auctioneers are knocking his door since juja city mall hasn’t made returns.
TRM- This mall has lots of traffic. Their parking lot is always packed and quite a number of shops can be seen with customers. Wahindi walihamia huku after Westgate. 2/10 because it hasnt shown ghost signs.
Garden city- They have a great concept of residential, offices and mall within one area. Favourite spot for kids activities and relaxation area in the lush grass. Some shops seem busy while others seem idle. 3/10
Greenspan Mall- Slowly turning to another ghost mall. 3 or so shops on ground floor are empty. Aga Khan hospital had to downscale it’s space… Then there’s a club in the rooftop ukitoka hapo unapata pneumonia juu ya baridi. Being sustained by Tuskys traffic. 8/10
Mall near Eka hotel Mombasa road- they are still giving offers to tenants. Not sure of it’s performance.
