Nissan, a Japanese automaker, is the manufacturer of GT-R vehicles, hence the term Nissan GT-R.
They were introduced to the market in 2007, and due to their outstanding performance, they immediately replaced the Nissan Skyline GT-R.
Features of the Nissan GT-R
As sport utility vehicles, Nissan has created several GT-R model versions named according to their modification and release year.
They include NISSAN GT-R 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 versions.
However, all these Nissan models share several identical features that constitute the reputable GT-R version.
Some of these common features are:
All GT-R models’ exteriors have a modern front bumper with side air scoops and the DRL inside each scoop.
To compliment the overall look of these high-performance sports cars, they have a classic designed interior look. For instance, the dashboard’s instrument panel is covered in a unique, seamless sheet of customized Nappa leather.
Each model is also fitted with a new 8″ inch touch-screen infotainment system in the center console that connects to Apple CarPlay.
All Nissan GT-R models have V6 cylinders, a 6-speed automatic gear system, can reach a maximum speed of 320km/hr, and have an acceleration rate of 0 to 100km/hr at 3.4 seconds. They also have a turbocharged multi-point injection fuel system.
The GT-R models are much safer now because the tires contain nitrogen and can resist a puncture even when traveling at 200 kph!
Price
Naturally, any automobile with the features mentioned above must have a high price tag, and the Nissan GT-R models are no exception.
Below is a list of all the estimated prices of Nissan GT-R models from 2019; since it is almost impossible to get new 2016, 2017, and 2018 models.
It is essential to note these prices are not inclusive of VAT and excise duty taxes; therefore, the actual costs may be higher.

Maintenance Cost
We all understand that regular oil changes increase engine longevity; therefore, this procedure will cost about Ksh.25000 for the GT-R.
To access the oil filter, you must remove the complete under-tray, which increases the repair cost.
New differential and transmission fluids are also required after every 30,000 kilometers, costing you approximately Ksh.110,000.
Who Owns a Nissan GT-R in Kenya
Kenyans were astonished when images of a grey Nissan GT-R initially appeared on the internet.
Many people speculated that the owner might be a politician, famous, or wealthy business person.
It was later discovered that the vehicle is owned by a very private Asian man who goes by the name “Williammm Kimm” on Instagram.
Where and How to Buy a Nissan GT-R in Kenya
There are two typical ways to purchase a Nissan GT-R in Kenya: from a showroom or by importing it directly from Japan.
You can visit the official website of Nissan Kenya, and they will direct you to the steps required to purchase a new GT-R.
For a used, high-quality GT-R model, local showrooms (such as Cars from Japan, Car Imports, and Croton Motors) may save you valuable resources and time-related to shipping.
You can also visit UsedCars.co.ke, which has hundreds of vehicles available, including the Nissan GT-Rs.
If you are a true football fan and you listen to Radio Jambo, especially the football analysis show, there is a high possibility that the name Fred Arocho rings a bell in your mind.
Fred has played for some of the well-known football clubs in the country, such as Sony Sugar FC and KCB FC as a defender.
He was among the starting eleven team of Kenya’s under-20 in 1994 and represented the country in the East and Central Africa youth tournament held in Mombasa in 1995.
His Career in Radio
After retiring from the game as a player, Arocho continued to attend all Harambee Stars matches.
Fortunately, his life changed for the better after meeting Carol Radull (she was Radio Jambo’s controller at the time) and impressed her, thanks to his amazing voice and vast knowledge of football matters.
After passing the station’s voice test, he was able to secure a job as a football host at Radio Jambo in 2009, and since then, his star has continued to shine.
Fred’s Salary in Radio Jambo
Due to his impeccable commentary skills in football, Fred is among the most reputable sports radio hosts in Kenya.
Since his show is among the most listened to in the country, it only makes sense that his salary has to reflect his influence in the station’s overall rating.
According to unconfirmed sources, Radio Jambo pays him a gross salary of KSH. 300,000.
He also earns an extra income by appearing as a guest football analyst on various TV stations.
In a single guest appearance, he can pocket an estimated Ksh.5000 to Ksh.10, 000, depending on the media station visited.

Kenya is divided into 47 counties, which are geographical units referred to as counties.
In order to safeguard the interests of the counties and their administrations, the Kenyan Constitution, which was approved in a referendum in 2010, established the position of Senator.
Each county must have a senator to represent them in the Senate assembly; therefore, the country has 47 elected senators for each county and an additional 12 nominated individuals to the Senate.
The law allows major political parties to nominate their ideal candidates to the Senate with the lion’s share allocated to the party or coalition with the highest number of elected members.
Currently, the ruling coalition, Kenya Kwanza, has a total of 7 while the opposition, the Azimio coalition, has 5 nominated senators.
The Country’s Poorest Senators
Many Kenyans assume that all politicians are wealthy due to the large amounts of money they use during the campaign period.
However, you will be surprised to find out that some elected or nominated senators have managed to attain their position in the Senate even though they are not rich.
Here are some of the current serving senators who are not very wealthy.
Senator Miraj Abdillahi Abdulrahman
The Kenya Kwanza coalition nominated her under the UDA party into the Senate.
She is a newcomer to the political scene since, before her nomination, she had not occupied any other high-ranking government position.
According to the official Parliament and Senate website, she only served as a Liason Officer at Buxton Point Limited for a year (from 2020 to 2021).
Compared to other senators, her educational background is basic since she has no diploma, degree, or master’s degree.
She attended Bondeni Primary School from 1999 to 2006 and later went to Coast Girls High school from 2007 to 2010.
Senator Methu John Muhia
He is an elected member of the Senate assembly representing Nyandarua County under the UDA party.
It is essential to note that he is the youngest among the current serving senators in the country.
In 2017, he tried his luck by vying for the senatorial position but lost.
However, luck was on his side in the last general election since he managed to defeat his opponents, including the county’s former Senator Mwangi Githiomi.
According to the official Parliament and Senate website, the Senator’s employment history states that he served as the personal secretary to Nyandarua’s county speaker from 2018 to 2022.
The peoples’ looks are as diverse as their cultures and lifestyle.
It’s literally a country of the bold, the beautiful, and the ugly.
Here’s a list of the top seven ugliest Kenyan tribes.
1. The Turkana
This Nilotic Kenyan tribe inhabits the dry sun-baked North Western corner of the country.
They struggle with endless droughts and famine that leave them emaciated and looking frail.
The hot sun in the area coupled with hot dry winds makes their skin appear extra dark and cracked.
They practice front teeth extraction as an initiation rite of passage, making their smile a horrible sight to say the least.
2. The Pokot
They’re Plains Nilotes and close relatives of the Kales.
You hardly find any of their kinsmen in urban areas.
They have that hardy and athletic appearance, thanks to the frequent attacks by bandits from neighboring communities.
Life in the plains of Pokot is tough and unforgiving, giving the locals a not-so-good look.
Their reluctance to embrace modern lifestyles exposes them to a lot of hardships that in turn affect their appearance negatively.
3. The El-Molo
This is the third ugliest and smallest tribe in Kenya in terms of numbers.
They’re hardly known by other Kenyans because their population is restricted in small pockets around Lake Turkana.
Just like their Turkana neighbors, they have held on to their traditional culture of fishing and dressing.
They’re mostly super dark and rough skinned and their teeth have a rusty appearance due to drinking the highly fluoridated water from Lake Turkana and its environs.
Smearing red ochre and soil on their faces during cultural festivals gives them a clone-like appearance that’s not appealing at all.
4. The Njemps
This is another small tribe living in the Rift Valley region around Lake Baringo.
They’re ardent traditionalists. Their main economic activities include farming and fishing.
Njemps are generally average in height, dark with narrow dusty faces, red eyes and rusty teeth.
They hardly put on any clothes leaving their heads, faces and body exposed to the ruthless Baringo sun that roasts them and distorts their physical looks.
They hardly groom their hair giving it that unsightly unkempt appearance.
The only thing that brightens their physical outlook is the beaded jewelry they wear all over their bodies.
5. The Kipsigis
They belong to the larger Kalenjin ethnic group and are found mostly in Kericho and Bomet Counties.
They mostly prefer life in the countryside away from towns.
These people hardly know how to dress up smartly and are almost always victims of wardrobe failure.
A brown jacket is the most valued part of their dressing but unfortunately, it doesn’t match well with other colors.
Their front teeth are usually large and protrude outward perhaps due to excessive consumption of Mursik sealing their position as one of the ugliest tribes in Kenya.
A little urban exposure for these folks would probably help them learn how to enhance their looks and know how to mix and match clothes.
6. The Luhya
How can the brothers and sisters from Mulembe Nation miss in this infamous list?
Most Luhyas are physically fit but two things about them weigh down on their looks: the hair and facial appearance.
If you visit the villages deep in Western Kenya, it may take you a number of days before you can differentiate a man from a woman at a glance.
Majority of their women love keeping short hair that makes them appear rather masculine and hard to tell apart from the men.
It’s that serious!
More often than not, a Waluvengo will look facially similar to a Khakasa all the way from childhood to adulthood.
Hopefully, the Naliakas will embrace modern cosmetics and hairstyles to give them a more feminine appearance.
7. The Luo
This is undoubtedly Kenyan Lake Region’s best known tribe.
They got brains and like speaking “Luopean” English spiced up with gigantic vocabulary.
Luo men have well-built masculine bodies and their women are arguably the most curvaceous in the region.
However, the neck-up is where they score poorly.
The “passport” size photo of a Luo man or woman is probably not something you will want to glance at twice.
For the girls, “beauty with brains” would be a far-fetched description.
Perhaps, “beauty with melanin galore” would do.
They mostly have disproportionate facial features such as a large nose with smaller foreheads and large lips, not to mention the excess melanin beneath their skin.
Some, especially the ladies, have taken to use of skin lightening cosmetics in an attempt to get lighter appearance.
Mama Ngina Kenyatta is Kenya’s first President’s widow and mother to the country’s fourth President Uhuru Kenyatta.
She is one of the most powerful and wealthiest Kenyan women today.
In 2012, Mama Ngina was featured in a Forbes article by the title Ten Female Millionaires to Watch in Africa.
The author of the article said Mama Ngina owns multiple properties and businesses around the country.
Nigeria’s Ventures Financial Magazine has previously described her as a dollar billionaire, to say the least.
So, what’s Mama Ngina’s net worth?
Here are some of the assets and businesses as well as other sources of income in her name that could be used to compute her net worth.
Parcels of land
Mama Ngina owns large tracts of land in the country.
She inherited the parcels from her late husband Mzee Jomo Kenyatta.
Word has it that she, alongside other Kenyatta family members, controls of over 500,000 acres of land.
The said properties are located in Kiambu County, Nakuru County, Laikipia County, North Rift and some parts of the Kenyan coast region.
Most of these parcels arein prime locations and are worth billions of shillings.
Company Shares
Reliable sources indicate that the Kenyatta family matriarch owns over 2.2 million ordinary shares in Kenya Power and Lighting Company Limited (KPLC).
That accounts for about 11% of the total market capitalization of the national electricity distributor as of June 2020.
The shares are worth Sh. 3.34 million if the current market share prices are anything to go by.
KPLC is the only company listed in the Nairobi Stock Exchange that has listed Mama Ngina as a shareholder.
Even though KPLC does not pay dividends regularly, being a shareholder with the firm gives Mama Ngina an opportunity to dispose them for millions of shillings when the markets are favorable.
As at the time of the merger between NIC and CBA banks, Mama Ngina, alongside his sons Uhuru and Muhoho, held a portfolio stake worth sh 8.5 billion which was about 13% of the bank’s shareholding at the time.
NCBA bank’s market share prices have risen tremendously over the last few years due to good financial performance of the bank.
That has seen the Kenyattas gain more than 58% (Sh. 3.2 billion) share value appreciation.
Hotels, Resorts and Lodges
Mama Ngina owns a number of luxury resorts, lodges and hotels scattered across the country.
She owns the Heritage Group of Hotels that manages the Voyager Beach Resort in Nyali, The Great Rift Valley Luxury Lodge in Naivasha, Intrepids Lodges in The Masai Mara and Samburu, Mama Ngina Tourist Hotel in Mtwapa, and The Golf Hotel among others.
Groups of Companies
The former first lady runs a chain of companies that are mostly managed by his son, Muhoho Kenyatta.
The best known among these companies is Brookside Dairies where the Kenyatta family is the majority shareholder.
Another enterprise is the Peponi Group of Schools Ltd which operates a senior secondary school in the family ranch in Ruiru, a Peponi House Preparatory School in Lower Kabete as well as Peponi House Kindergarten in Kabete.
Cash Crop Plantations
Mama Ngina Kenyatta owns a number of plantations around the country.
She has two tea plantations in Mangu and Matu in Kiambu County.
She has a vast sisal plantation in Taita Taveta County near the border with Tanzania and several coffee plantations.
The plantations are located in her parcels of land in the mentioned areas and earn her millions of shillings every year.
Debts
The Kenyatta family matriarch has no know debts that could significantly weigh down her net worth.
The only publicly known debt in her name was owed to the defunct Mombasa Municipal Council twenty years ago.
The municipal published a list of 245 land rates defaulters, among them Mama Ngina Kenyatta, in 2003 as reported by one of the local daily nespapers.
Other Incomes
Besides the many assets in her name, Mama Ngina is also paid a salary and pension by the government.
In 2019, media reports emerged that Mama Ngina has been earning a salary of well over Sh.500,000 every month form the State exchequer besides pension she gets for being a retired first lady.
A state salary for what? One may ask.
She gets the monthly paycheck by virtue of being the wife to Kenya’s first President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta.
These revelations caught many Kenyans by surprise.
A city lawyer revealed that the salary is enshrined in the laws of Kenya which entitles a sitting or retired president’s spouse to 40% monthly salary of the current president in the event the president dies.
Most politicians are often perceived as greedy, corrupt, and other characters downgrading names.
Additionally, politics have, for the longest time, mainly involved old and serious-looking individuals.
However, we have witnessed good-looking men venture into politics, such as Peter Kenneth, Ali Hassan Joho, Raphael Tuju, and many more.
Women’s votes have helped some of these handsome politicians win various seats due to their good looks.
So, who are currently the most handsome politicians in Kenya?
Let’s dig in…
1. Abdulswamad Shariff Nassir
The former Mvita MP is now the current Governor of Mombasa County.
He has been a close political ally of former Governor Hassan Joho.
Abdulswamad has not always been the fit man you see today and must have been encouraged by his friend Joho to hit the gym.
He is now muscled and has a gray beard that enhances his looks.
2. Ababu Namwamba
Namwamba has risen through the political ranks from an MP of Budalangi Constituency to the current Sports CS.
He is among Kenyan politicians that women find handsome, always smartly dressed in fitting and dashing suits.
Namwamba also wears casual clothes often, giving him a youthful look.
3. Johnson Sakaja
Sakaja must have received a lot of votes from women in Nairobi who find him handsome.
He has dimples, a lovely teeth arrangement, and a cute smile to die for.
Sakaja also knows how to dress well and looks good in suits and casual outfits.
To top it all, Sakaja’s eloquence when publicly speaking has won a lot of Kenyan hearts, especially women.
4. John-Paul Mwirigi
Hon. John Paul made headlines in the 2017 general elections when he became the youngest Member of Parliament at 23 years.
He is on his second term as Igembe South MP.
He was a nobody before becoming an MP, but years later, Mwirigi’s looks and personality have improved, making him one of the finest-looking politicians in Kenya.
5. Irungu Kangata
Irungu successfully vied for the Muranga gubernatorial seat after serving as the County’s senator.
He is among the best-performing politicians in the different capacities he has worked.
He is not controversial or arrogant like most politicians and looks good.
Just like Sakaja, the soft-spoken politician is also dimpled.
6. Jalang’o
Jalang’o has been cracking our ribs for years.
He was in the entertainment industry before diving into Kenyan politics last year.
He captured the Langata constituency seat and is now the serving MP.
He is, however, still running his YouTube channel. Jalang’os success story is that of rags to riches.
He has worked hard for his wealth, and his looks have also improved through the years.
He primarily dresses in casual outfits but opts for suits in parliament sessions and other official meetings.
7. Edwin Sifuna
The ODM politician is the latest senator of Nairobi County.
Edwin is a vocal, outstanding, and good-looking politician in the ODM party.
He has been on the political scene for a while and is one of this era’s most promising young politicians.
8. Danson Mungatana
Damson made a grand comeback in the political scene last year after years of being on the low and facing financial constraints.
He served as an MP for the Garsen constituency and as an assistant minister in Kibaki’s government several years back but came back and vied for the Tana River senatorial seat successfully in the last year’s general elections.
There is no doubt that Mungatana is good-looking, and his brown complexion makes him more handsome.
9. Babu Owino
The controversial Embakasi East Member of Parliament had to be on this list for obvious reasons; he is light-skinned, good-looking, outspoken, and young.
Owino may be making headlines for all the wrong reasons from time to time, but his leadership qualities since the days of UON have always stood out.
10. Paul Otiende Amollo
The Rairienda MP closes this list of the most handsome politicians in Kenya.
He is well-spoken, dark, and attractive. Amollo also has gray hair that improves his looks.
