Business daily has to publish insightful stuff or relay news faster.

Can offer to publish financial results with indepth analysis for a fee like FT.com on paywall terms (make it affordable and accessible in tiers)

Have a magazine (like forbes) and feature money stories that may not necessarily be news. (there's hunger for financial knowledge make it available and advertisers will follow)

Nation blundered big time in investing in aging technology, they however need to invest less in reporters and more in technology and source stories on contracts.

What forums/events/conferences has Nation Media hosted apart from golf tournaments? Why have we not seen an event hosted by NMG to discuss matters to do with the EAC integration as an example, cyber security, block-chain technology? Wouldn't advertisers want in? I hope the management (Kaikai, Mshindi and the like) will be leaving with Muganda.

How has the economy being during the past 4 years


Aga Khan hospital is also sending home some 400 workers. Something wrong with the economy

The thing with the much touted 5% growth is that it is largely driven by public/govt spending not by the private sector.

Considering that govt spending has a much lower multiplier effect in the economy than an equivalent investment made by the private sector, it means that the overall economy is spending that much more to generate a declining level of output aka diminishing marginal returns. If you add the fact that the tax base (private sector) is ailing and is the source of revenue for govt spending then one can make a fair assessment as to where the KE economy is headed in the near and medium term.

In that regard, it shouldn't come as a surprise why the NSE 20 hasn't made any attempt at the all time high reached back in 2007. For those waiting for a new year bull charge I am afraid disappointment is in the pipeline. Looks like it will take a crisis of sorts for the decision makers to get their act in line.
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.

NSE 20 is now consolidating-the longer the consolidation the bigger the break out upwards or downwards. Looks like the market will stay in consolidation for quite some time before the crisis brings out a break out.

Because either the govt squeezes out the private sector through the credit crunch or it decides to do inflationary finance. Either method is a crisis.

Which economy is not shedding jobs? Wazuans should stop hyperventilating over nothing. Truth is some jobs will become extinct as others are created. Tea girls, messengers cleaners and other KYM jobs with be gone with time.

ATT Americas Safaricom* will in February, be laying off 300 employees, not because they did not make money - infact, every employee is getting a bonus of $1000, but because the jobs have become redundant.

Adapt or perish.
