Dr. Sonvir Singh has called on family-owned businesses to embrace strong values, unity, and visionary leadership as the foundation for building sustainable enterprises that can thrive across generations.

The Managing Director of Shri Krishna Overseas Plc was the Chief Guest at the 5th Annual Family Business Day organized by Strathmore University Business School, where business leaders, entrepreneurs, and young professionals gathered to discuss the future of family enterprises in Africa.

During the event, Dr. Singh delivered a keynote address themed “One Heart, Two Hats: Navigating the Intersection of Family and Business,” highlighting the delicate balance between emotional relationships and professional management within family-run organizations.
He noted that while profitability is important, the true strength of family businesses lies in trust, sacrifice, relationships, shared values, and a commitment to legacy.

“Family businesses are built not only on profit, but on trust, sacrifice, values, relationships, and legacy,” he said.

The discussions focused on critical issues affecting family enterprises, including succession planning, communication, professionalism, leadership development, and preserving family unity while ensuring business growth.
Dr. Singh praised Strathmore Business School for creating a platform that encourages responsible leadership and equips future generations with the skills needed to sustain and expand family businesses.

He described the forum as meaningful and impactful, bringing together leaders and future entrepreneurs to exchange ideas on long-term growth and generational success.

“Family legacy is not built in one day — it is built through values, vision, discipline, and unity across generations,” Dr. Singh emphasized.

The annual Family Business Day continues to position Strathmore University Business School as a key institution in nurturing visionary business leaders and supporting the transformation of African enterprises through education, innovation, and ethical leadership.

In a strongly worded statement, Kioko expressed deep urgency and grave concern over Kenya’s July 5, 2025 vote endorsing the renewal of the so-called UN Independent Expert on SOGI.

Speaking on the need to safeguard the profession, Kachapin warned that the rise of quacks and masqueraders posing as advocates poses a serious threat to both the public and genuine practitioners. He noted that such practices erode trust in the justice system and expose clients to grave risks, while hardworking advocates see their profession devalued. Equally concerning, Kachapin said, is the culture of unethical undercutting within the profession, where legal services are cheapened at the expense of quality, competence, and fairness. He emphasized that legal practice must be anchored on integrity, professional skill, and fair competition — not shortcuts that undermine standards. “This is not about gatekeeping,” Kachapin said. “...
