The device is expected to be in the Kenyan stores and online platforms such as Jumia by the end of this month according to the company.

The phone runs on a 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal memory that can be expanded with Huawei’s proprietary NM SD card. Moreover, one appealing feature is its 6.4 inch screen that is a 1080p LCD display.
It also has a huge battery at 4200mAh with fast charge with its 40W fast charge charger, which is a norm the market is quickly adopting.
The other cool feature of the phone is its cameras. It comes with four of them. Yes, four of them. The main 48MP camera, an 8MP ultra-wide, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP bokeh camera. While the front/selfie camera comes with 16MP.
Just like its cousin the Huawei Y7p, the nova 7i ships with EMUI 10 based on Android 10. In addition, since the US banned Huawei from using google services, the Huawei nova 7i comes with Huawei Mobile services instead of the usual Google services.

Getting a bus from Nairobi to Kampala is not the same as taking one from Nairobi to Mombasa. Mark you; you are going to cross the border to a foreign country. Before to getting that ticket, please note the following.
You do not need a passport
Thanks to the East African Community treaty, Kenyans travelling to Uganda and Rwanda do not need a passport. Currently, you can just use you national identity card. For foreigners who are planning to travel to Uganda, you will need all your travel documents in place. Please also note that you (for all travelers both Kenyans and foreigners) will need a yellow fever certificate to cross the border.
You will need 11-15 hours to be in Kampala from Nairobi and Vice Versa
If the traffic gods smile on you so that there is to traffic jams and you take the little time possible at the border, you need roughly 12 hours of travel. Since this is a long time, the buses often make stops at various town along the way for refreshments and off course natural calls. Be sure to keep an eye on your luggage and do not trust everyone that offers help.
Wrapping Up
Traveling from Nairobi to Kampala is just as simple as walking to River Road; getting you ticket and viola off you go. However, before you do that, I would advise that you get yourself a ticket to guarantee yourself a ticket.
This can get a bit tricky during the holiday seasons and you will need to get your ticket very early enough. On Buses such as Easy Coach, you can book your ticket a month in advance during the high season.

This is a complete list of commercial banks in Kenya. However, before we look at the list, it important to understand how banks are classified.
The criteria of classifying banks is by ownership, nature, and the amount of assets that the banks hold.
To make you understand better, some banks belong to individuals or local companies. We have some banks that belong to international organizations or individuals. That is what I mean by ownership.
Now looking at the nature of the banks in Kenya, they can be either commercial or microfinance banks.
Commercial banks can then be classified into different tiers depending with the amount of assets each have. In Kenya, the Central Bank of Kenya classifies banks into three tiers, one, two and three.
Tier 1 are the heavyweights with billions of assets and are considered financially stable. These banks, the Central Bank of Kenya sees them as those that are unlikely to collapse.
Medium-sized banks are belong to tier 2 and have much less assets compared to those in tier 1. Then comes small banks that are the constituents of tier 3.
The number of banks in Kenya continues to grow. As of 2019, the CBK listed the number of commercial banks in Kenya at 45.
In this article, I am going to list all the commercial banks in Kenya as of April 2020, though as we all know, some of them such as Imperial Bank, Chase Bank, and Dubai Bank have gone under.
This is the ranking as I said earlier of Commercial banks in Kenya by the Central Bank of Kenya by the asset base.
Here below is the complete list.
Tier 1
Equity Bank- Founded 1984
Barclays Bank- Founded 1916
Kenya Commercial Bank- Founded 1896
Standard Charted Bank- Founded 1911
Co-operative Bank of Kenya- Founded 1872
Commercial Bank of Africa- Founded 1962.
As you can see from the list, the latest entrant Equity Bank has over the years been able to muscle it way up into the first tier.
Tier 2
NIC- Founded 1959
Housing Finance Bank- Founded 2010
National Bank of Kenya- Founded 1968
Bank of Baroda- Founded 1953
Bank of India – Founded 1953
Bank of Africa Kenya – Founded 2004
Eco Bank- Founded 2005
Family Bank of Kenya- Founded 1984
CFC Stanbic Bank- Founded in 2007
In this tier you will find most of the common banks that all of us know are not ‘big’ but whose risk of collapse is not that big.
Tier 3
Jamii Bora Bank- Founded 1999
Paramount Universal Bank- Founded 1993
African Banking Corporation- founded 1984
Consolidated Bank- Founded 1989
Credit Bank- Founded 1986
Fidelity Bank- Founded 1988
Guardian Bank- Founded 1992
Citibank N.A Kenya- Founded 1974
Development Bank –Founded 1963
Oriental Commercial Bank- Founded 2002
Gulf Africa Bank- Founded 2006
First Community Bank- Founded 2007
Equatorial Bank – Founded 1983
Giro Commercial Bank- Founded 1993
Transnational Bank- Founded 1984
United Bank of Africa- Founded 2009
Habib Bank LTD- Founded 1946
Middle East Bank Of Kenya- 1981
Victorian Commercial Bank- Founded 1987
Habib Bank AG Zurich- Founded 1978
This tier has names most of us have never heard of. Moreover, some of these banks have very few branches mainly in big cities.
You will also notice that institutions such as the Housing finance are classified as a commercial bank. However, we all know that it is a mortgage finance institution.
While individuals or private companies own some of these banks, the government of Kenya has shares in banks such as;
Kenya Commercial Bank.
Housing Finance.
National Bank of Kenya.
CFC Stanbic,
Consolidated Bank.
Development Bank.
In the recent past, the baking sector has been stable over the years, in recent times we have seen banks such as Imperial Bank, Chase Bank, and Dubai Bank going being place on receivership.
You will notice that it is the big boys of the banking sector that will in most cases survive the financial turmoil that is thrown their way.

List of Micro Finance banks in Kenya
So what exactly are microfinance banks?

SMEP Microfinance Bank Limited.
Microfinance Bank Limited.
Daraja Microfinance Bank Limited.
Choice Microfinance Bank Limited.

U & I Microfinance Bank Limited.
Some of these microfinance institutions are well-known such as Faulu Microfinance Bank Limited or in short Faulu. Another well-known is the KWFT or Kenya Women Microfinance Bank Limited.
One of the characteristics of these banks is that they have very little asset base and serve a particular niche of clients.
Wrapping It Up
Commercial Banks in Kenya serve an important role in the economy one, which no one can take. Even with the interest cap on loans, these banks have continued to soldier on. Every year they make millions in profits and make their shareholders smile all the way to the bank.
