-

 Successful real estate entrepreneur Mwenda Thuranira has shared an inspiring reflection on his journey to the top of Kenya's property industry, revealing that he began his career as a construction worker before rising to become one of the country's most recognized real estate investors.

Thuranira's story is a testament to the power of hard work, resilience, and a willingness to learn every aspect of an industry from the ground up. Rather than taking shortcuts, he immersed himself in the day-to-day realities of construction, gaining firsthand experience that would later prove invaluable in his real estate career.

"Started from the construction site just to learn the industry inside out. Master the basics, master the game," Thuranira said while reflecting on his journey.

His experience on construction sites equipped him with practical knowledge of building processes, project management, quality standards, and the challenges faced by workers and developers alike. This foundation helped shape his understanding of the real estate sector and laid the groundwork for his future success.

Today, Thuranira is regarded as one of Kenya's leading real estate figures, inspiring thousands of young entrepreneurs seeking to build successful careers in business and property development. His journey serves as a powerful reminder that success often begins with a willingness to start small, learn continuously, and remain committed to long-term goals.

As Kenya's real estate sector continues to expand, Thuranira's story highlights the importance of practical experience, persistence, and mastering the fundamentals as key ingredients for lasting success.

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.
