A Kenyan who left Stockholm about three years ago to do business in Kenya is back. According to sources, the Kenyan has been based in Mombasa where he was reportedly running a “crane company” which deals with containers.
KSB has not made any contacts with the Kenyan for a storo but according to agents, the Kenyan may have winded up his business because of unfavorable circumstances back home. When he left, he provided a lot of hope that it was possible to wind up stuff in Stockholm and hit the Kenya bizz world.
When news swept Stockholm last evening that he is back, the question which has been on the lips of experts at Vasa Temple is what may have happened. Sam Pippo have speculated that the bizz was infiltrated by conmen who forced it into bankruptcy while another theory has it that the guy has come back to “recoup” before returning to Kenya.
KSB agents who have been trying to develop links with Kenyans with close contacts say that at the moment, the Kenyan is not interested in meeting people because he wants to re-orientate himself with the situation in Stockholm. His storo could be an eye opener to other Kenyans with ambitions of running businesses in Kenya and KSB is waiting for an appointment.
His experience could be shared among members of the community especially the business minded Kenyans seeking to relocate back home to escape from racism, discrimination, cold winters and isolation in Stockholm, factors that have been driving some members of the community into deep alcoholism and drug addiction.
The case of the Kenyan is not the first. Many Kenyans have had to return to Stockholm (after calling it quits with the snow) because of unfavorable circumstances back home.
In the meantime, news reaching KSB indicate that another Kenya-Stockholmer has relocated to Kenya with members of his family to look into what is possible. An agent said that the kids have joined local schools and that they are doing well. This is the kind of news Kenyans here need at a time when the snow is melting after one of the coldest winters in living memory in Sweden.

Wud be interesting to know his business ventures.Many storos have beeen whispered since he left.
I envy those who try to relocate even if they return back after failing to accomplish what they wanted. They do have alot of courage and experience and lessons learned could be shared thru a forum of serious minded business orientated persons whose main aim is not to ridicule others but to look for opportunities back home.
This snow is no friend of Africans!
KSB: Exactly. Almost every serious Kenyan I know is planning to relocate and the experience of these kind of Kenyans could be very valuble. I hope Kenyans will not begin to see this guy as a failure but as a resource person.
Give him time to catch up what has happen since he left. Let us welcome back him with some Mariestad n he will share his experince with us
The returnee bizman has nothing to share because he was simply misusing his profits on raha.He is back here with his tail coiled under his balls.Mambo bado.
We need a more honest example of one who has returned home and succeeded.This man in question is in hot soup.
There r serious rumas about this biashara man so he shud meet Wakenya publicly to kill the rumas and prove he is doing well.
