While Obama Was Hailed For Bringing GES To Kenya, The Daughter To Keroche CEO Isn’t Pleased At All. This Is Why
Global Entrepreneurship Summit 2015 opened Kenya to the world and as such Kenyans were all happy to learn of new opportunities that were up for grabs for them. But one Anerlisa Muigai wasn’t very happy per se.
For starters, Anerlisa Muigai is the daughter to Tabitha karanja, Keroche Breweries CEO. The eye candy attracted the attention of many when she slammed the government for preaching water and feasting on red wine.
The essence of GES2015 was to provide platform for exchange of innovative ideas by entrepreneurs from all over the world.
Anerlisa took issues with the government for intentionally/unintentionally trying to suffocate her mother’s business.
She says Keroche Breweries was conspicuously missing on KRA’s book of companies that are licensed to continue doing business in Kenya.
Anerlisa questions the State’s ability to support local businesses as it claimed during GES citing witch-hunt in her mom’s company.
I am here watching the #GES2015 and just heard that we should invite the international entrepreneurs to come invest in our country, but my question is, why is it still hard to support our own first and give support. It’s just yesterday KRA published a whole page of companies that are licensed to continue doing business in Kenya, but from the list, Keroche Breweries was missing. It raised alot of questions and until now nobody has been able to answer why it was missing. As much as you want to welcome the global entrepreneurs, keep in mind that you will forever be employed. It’s clear that investment in this country, as a Kenyan, is not welcomed. Tabitha karanja is the same woman who won both Business leader in East Africa and Africa in 2014. She was featured as one of the most influential African in Forbes magazine 2014, she has also appeared in both local and international media stations speaking about her business. So what is this she is been denied or doubted about? #thought
