#Bitcoin was the first Digital Crypto currency to be developed over 10 years ago. As Bitcoin became more popular and valuable it led to the development of new crypto currencies and crypto trading platforms. - @Theo_mwangi for @kenyanwalstreet
The success of Bitcoin ushered the new age of block chain technology and decentralized currencies.

.@KRACare has disclosed that the troubled Naivasha-based Keroche Breweries @keroche_ltd owes it Sh22.79B in unpaid taxes, darkening the future for the brewer that challenged the mighty @EABL_PLC by @BD_Africa
The taxman in an unprecedented move offered a blow-by-blow account of the 16-year-long battle with Keroche, including details of unpaid corporate tax, excise duty, VAT and penalties of Sh3.02B.
The KRA’s revelation was in response to Keroche’s plea for President Uhuru Kenyatta’s intervention after the authority shut the operations of the beer maker and froze its dealings with 36 banks, further exacerbating the situation.
An 83-year-old man who went missing from his home in Kirinyaga in 1973 has been found alive in Lamu County, 49 years later. Wilson Numbi Miato left his home in Kagio-Kiamaciri village at the age of 34. - @NationAfrica
The husband of two wives, Mary Wamulango Numbi and Milka Numbi, had 10 children when he left home. Each of the two women had 5 kids. 7 of them are living while three have since died.
Mr Numbi was a rich man, owning land and houses, some of which he inherited from his late father.

Sudhir Shah, 68, was shot by a gunman riding a motorcycle on Saturday afternoon near a vast coffee plantation as he and his associates chatted.
Mr Shah, a father of two, was shot in the neck and the back of his shoulder, was pronounced dead on arrival at Thika Central Memorial Hospital. He co-owned Ndarugo Plantation 1960 Ltd in Juja with five other directors and the family said the deal involved the sale of 150 acres.
As he praised the One Kenya Alliance (OKA) constituent parties during the Jubilee National Delegates Convention (NDC), there was that hilarious moment when President Uhuru Kenyatta could not remember the name of Cyrus Jirongo’s party. - @NationAfrica
With a party that even the president hardly remembers its name, Jirongo, however, currently occupies the political high table, as he becomes the face of former powerful names making a return, and in some cases benefiting from the ongoing political re-alignments ahead of polls.
Others include former strong men in President Daniel arap Moi’s administration who are now set to fight it out with a breed of ambitious, young politicians as they seek to regain their political clout.
