Jijenge Wishes Kenyans a Happy Jamhuri Day
Peter Macharia Kamau, the Founder MD & CEO of Jijenge Credit Limited has taken a moment to wish Kenyans a happy Jamhuri Day.
He noted, “As we celebrate Jamhuri Day, let us reflect on the struggles that shaped our freedom, honor the unity in our diversity, and strive to create a future where every Kenyan’s dream contributes to the greater vision of our Nation.”.
Together, we can build a prosperous Kenya for generations to come
. May this day inspire us to work collaboratively towards a prosperous future for all Kenyans grounded in the values of integrity, accountability and inclusivity.
Mr Kamau believes part of the independence Kenyans should enjoy is financial independence. Being Financially Independent
Being financially independent means having sufficient income, savings, or investments to live comfortably for life and meet all of one’s obligations without relying on a paycheck. That is the ultimate goal of a long-term financial plan. Financial freedom—having enough savings, investments, and cash on hand to afford the lifestyle you want for yourself and your family—is an important goal for many people. It also means budgeting to grow a nest egg that will allow you to retire or pursue any career you want—without being driven by the need to earn a certain amount each year.
Unfortunately, too many people fall far short of financial freedom. Even without occasional financial emergencies, escalating debt due to overspending is a constant burden that keeps them from reaching their goals. When a major crisis—such as a hurricane, an earthquake, or a pandemic—completely disrupts all plans, additional holes in safety nets are revealed.
Jamhuri Day, one of the most important national holidays in Kenya, formally marks the date our country became a republic.
