Mohammed Hersi . A hotelier passionate about Tourism & Governance in Africa

I have been reluctant to comment about claims that our new president is turning Kenya into a Christian state or even religious state. I think as a Muslim I should now give my two cents view and opinion. First things first Christians are majority in this country but having said that as Muslims we have […]

What are the benefit of open skies ? I like cutting out emotions and I prefer to use examples where open skies have worked and worked amazingly well. Please join me on a trip to study Morroco and Dubai. In 2012 we were invited to Morocco as tourism players and were amazed with the increase […]

Why KQ is not going to help revive tourism at the Kenya coast and even Nairobi. Good people today let’s talk about numbers and open skies .

Thank You MJ as you exit Safaricom Chair Safaricom was synonymous with one man Michael Joseph. From CEO then Chairman then back to Acting CEO when Bob Collymore passed away and now he has decided to exit. Let’s give credit where due this is one man who single handed made Safaricom to what it is […]

It is about time GOK called out the Visa issuing section at the US Embassy. In Kenya the same may also apply to most western embassies but for me UK and Germany ( schengen) have always been helpful and quick. Firstly one of the reasons why an embassy would exist in another country is to […]
