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

Cable layers are making nonsense of all the beautiful walkways that were constructed in Nyali Mombasa. I see the same nonsense in Nairobi as well. Shame on these corporate firms who act in the most irresponsible manner. Wearing a dark suit with authoritative red tie means nothing. Some corporate companies in Kenya are true face…

All said and done earthly matters is nothing but vanity ….how do you want to be remembered. To be a leader is privilege serve well and be fair to all. ✅ In life you reach a point where the quality of life that you lead cannot be improved ✅ You can only drive one car…

The other side of Pokot that most of us don’t know and Media Kenya don’t help matters. West Pokot is more than 8000Sqkm but images we see in the media is nothing but bad news. It takes Lewis Hamilton to bring the warm beautiful side of Pokot. As a tourism player this is a challenge…

More than half a century after gaining independence we can’t even feed ourselves, war between some two neighbours in Europe is causing us pain real pain. Let’s talk numbers Africa’s  land size is bigger than USA, Canada and South  America…
