Samaki Samaki Owner
So who owns Samaki Samaki Seafood and Jazz in Nairobi?
Well…from all of the uproar about the establishment on social media, I now know that the restaurant is at least partially owned by Trevor Ombija of Citizen TV, with him being the majority shareholder (according to him).
Word on the street is that he co-owns the restaurant with his girlfriend, but I do not know that for sure.
