Have you been considering getting into forex trading? Then you might be feeling a little overwhelmed about what steps you need to take to give yourself the best possible foundation before diving in and trading currency pairs with your hard-earned money. Well, one way to ease your concerns is by taking things one step at a time. In addition to that, taking care to select the right broker for your needs is also going to help make the process of becoming a forex trader even easier.
What are some of the things that you should consider as you browse the many forex broker options that are available to you? Continue reading for a list of things to think about as you weigh your options.
Find a Broker That Is Properly Regulated
First off, you want to be sure that you go with a forex broker that is properly regulated to operate in your country. You should be able to find this information on a broker’s website, but in addition to reading what a broker has to say on their site, it is also a good idea to confirm that information with other sources. That way, you can be totally sure that you are going to sign up with a broker that is indeed regulated and is honest about that.
Choose a Broker That Gives You Helpful Tools
Another thing to consider is the fact that forex trading can be challenging if you don’t have access to the right trading tools. This includes an easy-to-use forex trading platform, which should also be provided by your broker. So, in addition to asking about tools that can help you track the behaviors of various currencies from all over the world, look into the type of platform that is provided. The platform should be easy to learn and simple to use. That way, you won’t need to waste any time when you have to make a trade. HotForex Kenya is a great example of the type of broker that has a stellar platform and loads of useful tools that can help make you a better trader.
Read Customer Reviews About Various Brokers
In addition to doing your own research by carefully reading various brokers’ websites to learn more about them and what they have to offer, it is also a good idea to see if you can find customer reviews about forex brokers. You can gain a lot of insight into what brokers are really like by reading about the experiences that others have had with them. For instance, they could claim to provide outstanding customer service, but customer reviews might state otherwise, so you might think twice about signing up with them after all.
Check Customer Service Hours
Speaking of customer service, it is also wise to ask about the customer support that a broker provides. Is it available 24 hours a day, 5 days a week to ensure you will be able to have your questions and concerns addressed while the forex market is open? Also, can you easily get someone on an online chat or do you always need to call in for help?
Confirm the Fees That You’ll Need to Pay
Finally, look into the fees that a forex broker will charge you. This can make a difference in how much you can make as a trader, so definitely keep this in mind too.
Bottom line: there are quite a few things to think about as you work on finding the forex broker that is best for you. Keep the tips above in mind, and don’t rush through the process of researching brokers, as choosing the ideal one can make a huge difference.
Leading Investor, Proparco (AFD Group), Completes Pre-Series-A Investment in Moringa Fueling its Expansion across Africa.
Building on the Seed Investment by DOB Equity and USD 9.5m funding by Mastercard Foundation, Moringa is excited to have recently received an investment from Proparco to support its expansion outside Kenya. This has seen the tech-based learning institution start to train Software Engineers in Ghana and soon Nigeria with a plan to scale to other African countries in the next 12 months. Moringa, a career accelerator for Tech professionals in Africa, has been training High School/University Graduates to be Software Engineers and Data Scientists for
the past 7 years in Kenya and achieved market leadership training for over 4,000 students with employment rate of over 85%. The investment comes at an exciting time with Moringa just agreeing to a curriculum licensing deal with the world’s leading coding Bootcamp, Flatiron School, and achieving ISO 9001:2015 certification. The stage is set for Moringa to play a significant role in developing African tech talent and connecting it to purposeful and significant earning opportunities whether full-time jobs, the gig economy or becoming entrepreneurs.
Google published the Africa Developer Ecosystem report in 2021 which indicates that there has been an increased global demand for remote tech talent which was accelerated by the pandemic, creating more employment opportunities for African technology professionals. The report indicates that African startups which are responsible for hiring more than half of the local developers raised over $4 Billion in 2021 -2.5X more than they raised in 2020. With 22% of Sub-Saharan small and medium-sized businesses starting or increasing their use of the internet, the need for web development skills is increasing rapidly. Higher demand for remote development work also led to increased opportunities; 38% of African developers work for at least one company based outside the continent.
Moringa provides access for all to the training and network needed to participate in this tech revolution if they can demonstrate they have the aptitude and mindset required to succeed. This is part of the company’s mission to build talent and opportunities through tech-based learning experiences. Following our recent launches with Impact Hub Accra and Social Enterprise Ghana, Moringa and Plenty Tech Jobs Nigeria have entered into a market entry partnership that will see Moringa become a key provider of tech talent for the Nigerian workforce. Plenty Tech Jobs is a leading platform for finding the best technology job and remote gigs in Nigeria.
The investment from Proparco will aid Moringa to prepare for Series A funding in 2023. Apart from International expansion outside Kenya, the funding from Proparco will also facilitate the broadening of the range of courses offered by Moringa. Currently, the institution offers Software Engineering, Data Science and Soft Skills courses with plans to offer courses in UI/UX design in the near future.
Statement from Moringa
According to Sneha Shah, Moringa’s CEO “The investment comes at an exciting time for Moringa as the institution expands to Ghana and Nigeria. We are keen to leverage this partnership to train many more students using the leading US Bootcamp curriculum from Flatiron School. In line with our vision of a world in which anyone can create their future, we welcome the support of Proparco to make our courses available in new markets in Africa.”
Statement from Proparco
According to Françoise Lombard, PropArco’s CEO “Supporting the African tech ecosystem is one of Prop Arco’s key priorities. Through our investment in Moringa, Proparco is proud to support an ambitious Edtech in its expansion in Africa and thus contribute to bridging the skills gap that has been affecting the growth of startups on the African continent”.
About Moringa

Nairobi, Kenya | Monday, 20 June 2022 – Global technology company, Mastercard, has announced the signing of a partnership with the Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) to help Kenya’s tourism sector rebound to its pre-pandemic level. The three-year collaboration is the first-of-its-kind for Mastercard in Africa.
The aim of the MoU is to drive growth of tourism numbers into Kenya by leveraging various Mastercard channels, including its Priceless.com platform. The MoU also includes increasing transparency on tourism trends, anonymized traveler profiles and economic impact through Mastercard’s Data Insights capabilities, which will enable KTB to plan, execute and improve its campaign reports. Mastercard will also explore a loyalty and rewards program to boost tourism and enhance the impact of destination marketing efforts, including campaign planning and execution.
Further, the MoU brings access to information about Kenya that can enhance experiences during trips for Mastercard holders. Mastercard and KTB also plan to enhance the proposition by including bespoke travel packages including bush, city and beach experiences on the Priceless.com platform as well as brand campaigns to complement the tourism recovery efforts.
“Tourism is a critical sector for driving employment in any country. At Mastercard, we’re committed to helping countries come out of this pandemic with stronger, more resilient and more inclusive economic growth, including in the tourism sector. We look forward to bringing our insights and assets to the table to help Kenya and its spectacular tourism industry recover from the COVID-19 lockdowns and associated travel restrictions,” says Michael Froman, Vice Chairman and President, Strategic Growth, Mastercard.
The Covid—19 pandemic hit most sectors incredibly hard, and tourism was no exception. Tourism is a significant contributor to the local economy and showed strong growth in both international and domestic tourism at the beginning of 2020*. Unfortunately, in 2020 and 2021, Kenya’s tourism sector then declined dramatically. The Ministry of Tourism’s goal is aimed at attracting tourists at pre-pandemic levels, when over 2 million international tourists and over 4 million domestic tourists visited Kenya’s attractions annually, supporting over 24 million jobs.
Kenya Tourism Board CEO Dr. Betty Radier says: “The MoU with Mastercard aligns with KTB’s strategy of expanding our partner ecosystem to strengthen the sector and deliver on the goal of bouncing back fully to pre-2019 levels within the next 2 years. To do this we are focusing on several avenues to grow tourism revenues, including both international and domestic tourism, the use of digital marketing, and the creation of new and engaging travel experiences. By combining Mastercard’s resources and experience as a leading international payment technology company with our tourism resources, I am confident the initiatives set out in this MoU will benefit the sector,” Dr. Radier says.
Mastercard enables overseas visitors to make seamless, cashless payments in regional cities and supports cashless transactions and digital transformation in payment and settlement operations among small and medium-sized businesses in Kenya.
Priceless.com, available exclusively to Mastercard cardholders, provides access to unforgettable experiences and valuable everyday discounts around the world. By showcasing Kenya’s signature destinations and experiences to over 3 billion cardholders, Mastercard is expanding the priceless experiences to millions of people around the world.

Nairobi, Kenya, 15th June 2022… Safaricom (NSE: SCOM) has announced a KES 1.5 million sponsorship towards the D.O.P.E Campus Tour that has been organised by leading record label turned creative arts company, Sol Generation.
The 7-leg tour, which is delivered in partnership with Trace East Africa and powered by ABSA, seeks to reach youth in over 15 campuses across the country. It will include a musical extravaganza headlined by the label’s Nviiri the Storyteller and Bensoul, and an engagement tour where the artists and thought leaders will interact with students through short masterclasses.
“It is our hope that by the end of the tour, we will have transformed the lives of Kenyan youth by showcasing to them the transformative power of the internet, drawing from how Sol Generation has been able to leverage online platforms to grow their popularity in Kenya and beyond,” said Peter Ndegwa, CEO – Safaricom PLC.
The tour seeks to break down the “microwave to success culture” by spotlighting the artistes as a blueprint to success guided by Sol Generation’s values of discipline, order, passion, and excellence (D.O.P.E) to hone their crafts.
“True to Sol Generation’s mantra, we know the youth can be roosters; never late, never lazy, and always working hard. We are happy to on-board a youth-centric brand like Safaricom, who are always keen to inspire the youth to follow their passions and empower them as they journey towards success,” said William Nanjero, General Manager – Sol Generation.
The tour now moves to its second leg in Thika on Saturday 18th June at Mount Kenya University following a successful first edition held at Moi University two weeks ago, which drew campus students from Eldoret and its environs. Future editions of the campus tour include Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru, Meru and Kisii, with the dates set to be announced on Sol Generation’s social media pages.
In addition to the KES 1.5 million sponsorship, Safaricom will also provide in-kind support in the form of communication, merchandise, and airtime towards making the tour a success.
Background Information
The Parliamentary Service Commission is established under Article 127 of the Constitution of Kenya. The Parliamentary Service Commission is mandated to provide services and facilities for Members of Parliament and staff to efficiently and effectively fulfil the constitutional and legitimate mandate of Parliament and the roles and functions of a representative institution in a democratic system of government.
The Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) in furtherance of its strategic plan has been constructing the office block with the objective of providing offices for Members of Parliament. The construction of the office block is nearly complete. The PSC has identified the need to name the building in line with the constitutional mandate of Parliament. The Commission has determined and resolved that this can be achieved through a naming contest.
The PSC has identified the need to carry out a naming contest that will seek the views of the public to enhance public participation in determining the most appropriate name for the building. The construction of the building has been financed by the Government of Kenya.
The Commission hereby invites interested Kenyans, individuals, groups, and or institutions to participate in a competition to name the building that encapsulates its mandate, strategic focus, direction and centrality of the citizen in quality service delivery.
Naming Contest Theme
The mandate of the Parliament of Kenya, which is an arm of the Government of Kenya and comprising of the Senate and the National Assembly, includes legislation and oversight. The Parliamentary Service Commission is therefore mandated to provide facilities for Members and staff which enable parliament to deliver on its mandate. The PSC in constructing the Office Block has therefore delivered on its role to provide a clean, safe and secure environment for Members and staff to ensure efficient and effective delivery of the Parliamentary mandate. This reflects the PSC’s longstanding commitment to a better working environment. This contest, therefore, looks to draw names that reflect the role of Parliament in society and its vision in the areas of good governance and representation. Names that celebrate underrepresented groups in the legislature, especially women or minority groups who have made great advances but did not receive appropriate historical recognition, are also encouraged.

It’s hard to meet anyone who doesn’t know what sweetness is, much less taste it. What role does sugar play in our lives and why do people become addicted? The answer is in the evolutionary mechanism of human survival.
Our interest in sweets is genetic, based on certain instinctive-reflex patterns and patterns. We don’t need to teach our child about sweets, he is ready for them and will receive them from mother’s milk.
After all, the glucose in milk carries strategic importance: psychological (bonds of affection, reduction of anxiety and stress), hormonal (oxytocin, cholecystokinin, prolactin) and biochemical (anesthetic, analgesic, analgesic). Moreover, the taste of the milk will change depending on the mother’s diet, so the baby will be introduced to other flavors of food, which will later prepare him for independent complementary feeding and lower the allergenicity threshold.
The trail of sugar in the evolution of the sweet tooth can have several causes:
As everything in the natural mechanism is cyclical, so is childhood. Normally, a growing individual’s need for sugar as food and toil ends with the cycle of bone growth and hormonal changes. With each passing year, perfecting the skill of the hunt, the prey of meat covered the need for satiation, and sweetness was no longer the priority food, but rather the need for the enzymes found in sweet berries and fruits.
If the need or dependence isn’t lost in the adult, we are dealing with biochemical, hormonal and psychological causes.
In fact, the basic need for nutrition (survival) is calories. It doesn’t matter at all what you eat, the main thing is to fit within your BMR. A person with a strong sense of hunger is actually pursuing satiety, and more often than not, it’s just fat, and it may not be sweet. This is why nutritionists advocate against snacking, while playing at the mobile betting website, watching movies, or working, which provokes insulin spikes (imaginary satiety, which provokes overeating).
Sugar is a simple carb that quickly dulls the feeling of hunger and easily accumulates as fat reserves. These properties of sweets helped ancient people to survive. Sugar gave a sense of emotional lift, improving readiness for danger and cold. The extra weight saved us from hypothermia, especially during ice ages, and provided energy reserves in case tasty or nourishing calories were not forthcoming.
The natural trap is that the brain is afraid to die during hunger and seeks to quench that need as quickly as possible with a fast carb. Once you eat a portion of complex carbohydrates, fiber and protein, you won’t want sweets anymore.
Sweet eaters have a genetic and racial predisposition behind them. The reason lies in the gene TAS1R3, which is responsible for the rate of sugar, which the person considers acceptable for himself. Europeans are most addicted to the sweet world. Asians and Africans are less susceptible to the sweet tooth.
The difference in the perception and need for sweetness comes from the territorial area and its possibilities. In northern latitudes, for example, there were virtually no foods that tasted sweet, unlike in hot countries where sweet fruits grew everywhere.
When contact with oneself is disrupted, the person is unable to recognize the true desire for the “sweet life.” The need to sweeten is rooted in the relationship with the parents. Often it’s because of a parent’s emotional unloving or cruelty that the child tends to compensate with sweets. Hormonal and biochemical responses to sugar are triggered, and one becomes a little calmer. But the effect of sugar is short-lived, and the need for the dope intensifies, so addiction is born. Sweetness is a way of silencing emotional pain, one’s own needs, and unclosed gestalts.
Sugar only dulls true desires and needs, masking inaction and powerlessness.
As you can see, sugar and an incurable addiction are different. And sugar is quite subject to correction and modification, being a product of taste costs and cravings. Hence the important factor about that food, which is consumed by default and accepted in the family circle, will become a habit, which means that everyone can create their own formula for a healthy diet.
Sugar, as one of the colors in the palette of colors of flavors, has its place because life is beautiful in its variety. Excluding sugar from the diet in the form of fresh/defrosted/fermented berries or fruit, for a healthy person, is a big mistake. After all, the demonization of sugars is already about psychological aberration.
It’s also important to consider that there were no cakes and pastries in the Ice Age. They were a product of human taste, an evolution of the sugar art. Attitudes toward sweets and should remain in the art phase: either simply admire or yield to temptation wisely, favoring only quality products.
But if sugar is the only thing that puts you in the mood, then it’s time to reconsider not only your diet, but also what your life consists of. After all, no amount of candy will solve your lack of fulfillment, intimacy, emotional maturity, and healthy competition.
Rabai Member of Parliament William Kamoti Mwamkale died in a road accident along Maziwa – Mombasa – Malindi highway.
Kilifi North OCPD Jonathan Koech confirmed the incident and said the accident occurred around 9.00 pm on Sunday.
He confirmed the driver also sustained some injuries and was rushed to the hospital for treatment.
According to the police, his car rolled into a ditch after swerving to avoid colliding with an oncoming truck.
The ODM legislator is said to have earlier presented his nomination credentials to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
Ganze MP Teddy Mwambire said the deceased had been cleared by the IEBC to contest on an ODM ticket.
Kamoti, a trained lawyer, was first elected MP for Rabai constituency in 2013. At the time, the constituency had just been created under the new constitution.
