I second this. Nowadays, one can make investments without relying on relatives. Personally I work away from Kenya and I dont use relatives for my transactions. Relatives have a sense of entitlement and many are just parasites. I avoid them if I can. If you have no children in Kenya, you can do your things from that end. The problem comes when you have your own children in Kenya to support and the support must be channeled through somebody. Currently I use a trusted friend and she has never let me down. I feel very indebted to her. But business money, I just do online transactions. Cheers!
Keeping it all in the family
