Kenya's new Business Daily

The Business Daily Africa was launched yesterday. It will be published by NMG stable in partnership with Wall Street Journal-one of the most renowned business newspapers in the world-though I personally think it has some way to go before it can match the FT.
I actually like the idea of such a paper as it shows that Kenyans are finally focusing on things that really matter to their lives namely their economic well-being. For the Diaspora, its hoped the paper will go behind the business news and bring us in-depth articles on the NSE-listed companies, sector analysis, developments in business as well as opportunities arising from our growing economy. It would also be good for it to focus on ideas, policies, business developments elsewhere in Africa and beyond that enrich the Kenyan economy.

About time... a business daily was lacking...

I will skip the Nation for BD coz I do not care much about Kenyan politics i.e. all hot air but no action!

the paper is actualy suprisingly good. very good articles. i say suprising because i didnt know there was soo much alternative news. living in kenya, you would have thought that the only news available is news on how to grab the presidency or how to stay on it!

Very good reading, i hope it stays that way.
