6 Sectors Where Kenya Is A Global Leader

Without further ado:

1. Mobile Money

With 25% of the nation’s GDP flowing through MPESA, other countries have to look in envy as we move first into a truly cashless and cardless society. As for who invented this thing, that is now a story for the gods in my view.

2. Track and field

Our record in long distance races needs no mention. And with recent guys like Julius Yego on javelin, and David Rudisha creeping into short distance, this dominance is only expanding

3. Coffee

Some people when you take them to Java they say you are trying to be western, but they should know that Kenya is actually the coffee capital of the world! Of all contemporary coffee origins, Kenya is doubtless the most universally admired and this thriving export supports 6 million Kenyans

4. Flowers

Kenya is one of the world’s biggest exporters of cut flowers, accounting for around one in three flowers sold in the European Union. So next Valentines Kenyan men now have no excuse! 😀

5. Rugby

Kenya has always been in the thick of things in Sevens rugby, but our recent tournament win in Singapore signaled a coming of age of the national team to elite global status.

6. Global leadership

Yes, Kenya is a global leader in global leadership itself. We’ve got Obama yawa!
