Dr. Hezekiah Kariuki, the esteemed Managing Director of Comfort Homes and a celebrated business leader, has shared invaluable advice for Kenyans in the diaspora looking to invest back home. Known for his wisdom and entrepreneurial acumen, Dr. Kariuki, who has been ranked as CEO of the Year for five consecutive years, is offering this guidance as a way to help fellow Kenyans make informed financial decisions.
In his message, Dr. Kariuki urged diasporans to exercise caution and due diligence before committing their hard-earned money to investments. He emphasized that making blind moves without proper research could lead to significant losses and frustration.
Specifically, he advised potential investors to be wary of ventures such as the Matatu business, dairy farming, and broiler chicken farming unless they have thoroughly studied the industry and sought professional guidance. According to Dr. Kariuki, while these businesses may seem lucrative, they also come with risks that can be minimized through expert consultation.
“In this Nairobi, it’s best to seek advice from professionals before jumping into any investment. That way, you can avoid disappointment and regrets,” he cautioned.
Dr. Kariuki’s advice is a wake-up call for Kenyans abroad who dream of building wealth back home. His words serve as a reminder that financial prudence and strategic planning are the keys to successful investment.
