When secret and confidential data in the Business Registration Services systems was breached on January 31, 2025, details on businesses and companies within Kenya that are owned by the Kenyatta family went public.
The details from the BRS data breach show that the Kenyatta family empire ranges from dairy industry, hotels, and properties. Former president Uhuru Kenyatta’s brother Muhoho Kenyatta leads the family in directorial roles and shareholding in many of the companies under the family name.

These companies include Ilara Dairy, Brookside Africa, Brookside Dairy Limited, Emken Investments, and CBA Property Holdings.
Emken Investments is the holding company for the Kenyatta family. Muhoho is further listed as a director at Greenhut Investments, CBA Property Holdings, Northlands, Kipungani Lamu, Gleenlee Company, Sukarii Development, Loops DFS, Serengeti Investments, and the Gicheha Farms.
