Many Kenyan celebrities impressed their fans by opening various businesses in the year 2022. The launches were so impressive that we have to list them as the year comes to an end.

1. Betty Kyallo

Besides owning a salon and barbershop along Kilimani, she also has a restaurant called Summer House.

2. Bien

The Sauti Sol singer opened a restaurant as well called The Manhattan.

The new club is located on the outskirts of Nairobi – on the first floor of the newly launched The Imaara Mall.

The Club is located at the intersection of Mombasa Road and the entrance into the vast and populous Imara Daima Estate.

3. David Moya

The Tiktok sensation opened a high-end salon/nail spa in July.

In January, former Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko also launched a multi-million club in Mombasa County.

The club, dubbed VIP Volume Club is located in the coastal city’s Shanzu area. The establishment is very popular with revellers who are enthralled with its fancy interior decor.

Many say it reminds them of his equally fancy Mua Hills Home in Machakos.
