Samaki Samaki: Ksh60 Million Restaurant Owned By Trevor Ombija

With leading media houses firing their top media practitioners with abandon, it necessitates having a side hustle. This has seen quick thinking journalists like Trevor Ombija enter the world of business. He co-owns the Ksh60 million Samaki Samaki restaurant in Kileleshwa along Othaya Road.

Ownership

According to the news anchor, he is the majority shareholder. Trevor told a local blog that he started the restaurant in 2021.

"We are just the two of us but I own most of it."

“It was quite an expensive venture. I don’t own the land, it is leased. (The restaurant) is estimated at Ksh60 million,” he stated.

They took a loan from a local bank which enabled them to start construction in 2021. The restaurant was opened in December the same year.
