Kenyans in Diaspora Defy COVID-19 Shocks, Send Home Sh31.5 Billion in March

The money is going to specific pockets because it is directly sent to family members and friends! Also the diaspora Kenyans have heavily invested in Kenya.

In turn the money is spent in the economy to boost economic growth in various sectors of the economy! There are many things one can do to make money and have a decent living. But you have to be prepared for the road blocks ahead before the business venture you get started in start thriving. It will take you at least five good years to start reaping some positive results in your venture.

The only problem I find in Kenya is the high rate of corruption, bureaucracy in getting things done and a high rate of insecurity!

There is corruption in buying property with the rate of conmen who sell “air” to greedy diaspora buyers who fail to do the proper property searches to establish the validity of the intended purchase.

Crime is increasing rapidly across the country due to lack of moral values and a high rate of joblessness.

The vain politicians have turned Kenya int the laughing stock of the world as they make stupid laws which benefit them alone. The current crop of politicians are the worst enemy to Kenya’s development! Most of them are pure thieves and the initiators of the deep corruption across the country. You can’t trust any one single politician or civil servant in Kenya. This is where Kenyans problems are solely found!

Yet, various business opportunities do exist but you have to curve your own things (niche) to help build a better country. It is still doable but be prepared to experience a share of frustrations in getting things done!

Do you know how to trade in the US stock markets? You can easily make money if you knew how to trade or have a good broker to help you! That investing in Kenya is not a sure thing! You can also buy property here in the USA and do turn overs! The land here is cheaper than land in Kenya by far! Sometimes you have to think out of the box because keeping your mind only focused in Kenya will do you no good! Expand your horizons by investing abroad!

@kk - I have turned to investing in Argentina and Costa Rica because the dealings there are very clear and honest!

I tried in Kenya and got conned badly! Kenyans in Kenya mainly see a vault full of dollar bills to exploit from you investing from the US. Even men of cloth can never be trusted in Kenya let alone other folks!

Buying real estate in Central America has been a good investment for me; and also a vacation location for me and my family! I used a doctor friend from Argentina and it has been nothing but happiness and joy. Honesty is the best policy when you are investing your money!

View property for sale in Turks and Kekois and other places. I slate those who trust folks back in Kenya! I got conned big time! I have no taste for the country any more!

Please watch out those telling how many cows, goats and chicken they have accumulated and are now willing to help you! Your money could be going to buy some chicken feed fir them while you are high and dry here in America! I got nothing against mkenya halisi willing to help you but don’t get conned!

Understand the business you want to do, plan accordingly then spend you money wisely! That is all I got to tell you brother!

Good two sense! I urge the diaspora members not to get trapped by those who want to help with ulterior motives behind the whole scheme. Many are volunteering to help the dispose members but you have to know who you are dealing with! I have seen many in tears after they lost their money!

We do have grouping that are supposed to represent us but the bottom line is those Kenyans running the are idiots and conmen of the highest order! They are folks using those groupings to fatten their pockets. They are no good - black on black crimes is their motto!

@Mkenya thanks for sharing your story. It’s great to know you have achieved success after moving back to Kenya. I can’t lie that I’ve been very successful in this country but even with all that it never feels like home.
I’ve heard of returnees who failed miserably in Kenya. Your success is encouraging. I like the idea of owning units. I’ve bought plenty of land but the idea of building while I’m still in America scares me. I’ll let this covid die down I’ll entertain the idea of migrating back home. Corporate America is not cutting it anymore.

How can anyone in the diaspora trust a guy with a fake seudo name of @mkenya halisi? How many Kenyans carry this name in the first place? This is the hallmark of all conmanship! @kk don’t lose you money on a broad day light to a con! Don’t say you had not been warned! I have been there, done it and got conned! I now take the pain to regularly travel home to manage my stuff with a little help from my auntie! Be very careful unloading your dollars to some mkenya halisi dude in Kenya!

This man is liar! No wonder he is trying to deceive those in the diaspora! Watch out folks! This devil is out to devour your hard earned cash!

Tend to your small 1/4 acre farm and your 8 cows dude! We will see how you will pay to burry yours when they die! Mannerless idiot!

@kk here comes a good sounding flowery offer from @halisi but be very careful of cons in Kenya! You may end up losing all your hard fortune to a guy you will never find in your life time!

I met a promising guy like @ halisi and then ended up losing nearly everything I had invested in Kenya!

You can do things in Kenya but you have to be personally involved in your own projects. Do not expect any person in Kenya to tell you the truth of what is going on. They all lie, they all steal, they all think the distance from USA to Kenya is that of heaven and earth and you will never find out when they are stealing your hard earned money!

Be extra careful dealing with @halusi or any other character in Kenya! Kenyans have changed for the worst! They are greedy and mostly conmen/women. They will hose you out and keep moving like nothing ever happened. I’m talking about Kenyans of all walks of life! Be very careful! The country have changed!

Very well said! Put your wealth where you are currently living! Property in Kenya is highly overrated. Everything you have said here happened to me over a period of 15 years! I turn my eyes in investing in the USA and now I have found an niche and properly grounded my feet! Kenya is in the book of history for me! I will never look over there to invest any penny! Too many wakora there! Too many uncertainties! Too much corruption! I still got a lot of land there though!

How about harvesting dollars on the money tree 🌳 in the small back yard as many have stated to me? Hii nduniani kuna mambo!

Why is @mkenya halisi so preoccupied with death? Are you writing your last epitaph here to say good bye to the world! To you all the money sent to Kenya by the diasporas is sent there to burry the dead!? Are you serious? Well, since you are now predicting your own death, why not dig a grave on your success land to make it easier for you wife and kids when you exit! What is the difference dying in Kenya and dying in America? Your jealousy of the diaspora speaks volumes! Be contented with your shs 500k and let others be! You are just singing the obvious song - oh invest here! Right! Those you are trying to advise make millions there in Kenya every month. Some in the diaspora have rental property making millions in Kenya. You don’t have to be rude because your behind was booted out of the US! Pease dude!

Give the coordinates of your successful farming business and I will search you on the life google map. It will just take seconds to scanner it to see what is going on the farm with your 8 local humped cows! These days everything is very possible because I can even tell you your full name behind the pseudo name of mkenya halisi.

Precisely! Some people a fascinated with death and the nice suit they will wear in death! Ok @halisi - why worry about things you can control!? Why? Cultural colt like behavior and silly attitudes? Nonsense!
