On a chilly evening in Nairobi, Don Bosco Gichana, a name synonymous with high-profile storms and political intrigues, made a grand return to the business scene.
At an event held at Azure Hotels in Westlands, Don Bosco was seen sitting alongside his business partner, Joe Kariuki, who had just launched his latest company, 51 Capital, a forex trading firm.
Don Bosco, who spent five years in prison in Tanzania on financial crime charges, looked every bit ready to take on the market that made him a notable figure in Nairobi before his incarceration.
He returned to Kenya in early October 2019, just two weeks after his release.
Don Bosco, dressed in a Ksh87,000 Yves Saint Laurent black suit, white shirt, and a red tie, spoke passionately about the future of forex trading, the benefits of cryptocurrency, and the emergence of new economic trends.
“Forex trading is the future,” he said. “It’s the latest backbone of online business and the new frontier for emerging business leaders. The markets are open, the conditions are perfect, and the benefits are immense.”
He added, “Business is now online, and none works better than Forex Trading. This is a business that will comfortably earn you a clean $2000 in your house in a single day. This is the future. You’re looking at the future.”
Joe Kariuki, the CEO of 51 Capital, also addressed the guests, urging Kenyans to venture into forex trading, which he said was on the path of growth.
