‘Stop this impunity and theft’- ODM Leader tells MPs demanding for higher pay

October 5, 2025 Hillary Kangwana Leave a comment

The Orange Democratic Movement, ODM, leader (H.E Raila Odinga) has castigated the recent clamor for higher perks by Members of Parliament, MPs. through a press statement by his his Secretary today, Hon Raila says that he ‘is deeply disturbed by attempts by Members of Parliament to raise their pay and related perks at a time the country is going through a difficult economic phase.’ Raila’s statement comes after the MPs passed a bill to increase their benefits, amid protests by Kenyans. Kenyan Legislators are considered to be one of the highest paid MPs, worldwide, currently. Read more details here: Current salaries, benefits and new demands by Kenyan MPs.

Despite warnings by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, SRC, the MPs have forged forward in their push for more pay. According Onyango; “Mr. Odinga is equally concerned that the pay hike conspiracy by MPs is coming at a time other public sector employees such as teachers, nurses and civil servants are going through pay restraint and are generally accepting less pay for much work.”

The former Prime Minister is now appealing to members of Parliament to appreciate that the country is struggling with huge debts that cut through the broad spectrum of the country’s economy and deficits strangling specific critical sectors.

“(Am) appealing to Members of Parliament to refrain from returning the country to the pre 2010 Constitution days after swearing to protect the Constitution of 2010,” Hon Odinga says. He further adds that before promulgation of the 2010 Constitution, there was anarchy that should not be allowed to creep back, into the country. “Under the pre-2010 regimes, the matter of MPs pay would be out of the control of Kenyans. But, that is no longer the case,” Raila notes.

The former premier says it is only the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, SRC, that is constitutionally mandated to determine salaries in Kenya. “The 2010 Constitution that Kenyans voted overwhelmingly for, the task of determining salaries of public officers, including MPs, lies with the Salaries and Renumeration Commission (SRC). The SRC has warned that the pay demand by MPs, if affected, would touch off a clamor for similar raises across (the) public sector where many spirited officers are currently doing with little to deliver much to our citizens,” Raila advises.

Hon Odinga now appeals with the MPs to stand with the common citizens and also to stop the erosion of public trust in the Legislators through this grand larceny and impunity that they are trying to force on tax payers.

It remains to be seen whether the MPs will heed Hon Odinga’s advise more so after turning down pleas by the President and Deputy President to pass the two thirds gender bill.

We will make every effort to ensure our youth realize their full potential- President Uhuru promises as the 2019 International Youth day is held

October 5, 2025 Hillary Kangwana Leave a comment

Every year the 12th of August is the commemoration of International Youth Day (IYD). The theme for International Youth Day 2019 is ‘Transforming Education’. This year’s event highlighted efforts to make education more inclusive and accessible for all youth and efforts to make education more relevant, equitable and inclusive for all youth, including efforts by youth themselves.

Here is President Uhuru Kenyatta’s speech during the 2019 International Youth Day celebrations held in Kwale County;

[I am happy to join you in commemorating the International Youth Day – 2019, in Kwale County. This year’s theme, “Transforming Education” is, indeed, timely. It has been domesticated in Kenya as “Boresha Elimu, Wezesha Vijana”.

This is in recognition of the vital role played by education in creating the platforms upon which the Youth explore and develop their skills and talents, acquire knowledge and competencies for a lifetime, and guided onto the path of being positive contributors to themselves, their families, their community and the Country as a whole.

To that end, Kenya has emerged as a continental leader in the deployment of empowering youth education. We lead Africa in primary-to-secondary school transition rates, having realized 100% transition last year.

To better align our education system with the changing needs of today’s youth, as well as the new realities and opportunities of a 21st century world; the Government introduced the Competency Based Curriculum, in addition to creating 102 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) centers of excellence in public secondary schools.

In these centres of excellence, cutting-edge training in areas such as robotics and Artificial Intelligence allows our secondary schools to help mould the next generation of giants in the Digital Economy. We expect to see soon world class innovations being developed by young Kenyans that will revolutionize the world.

I am also pleased to see that the Ministry concerned with matters of Youth has commenced an ambitious plan to refurbish and operationalize a total of 152 Youth Empowerment Centres (YECs) across the Country. These centres act as ‘one-stop shops’, where youth can access key services as well as acquire skills for their personal development. Twenty one (21) of these are already fully operational, with another 60 to be fully functioning by the end of 2019.

We expect each and every Young Person in the country to be able to utilize the services available within these Centres to access online opportunities, acquire new skills and competencies.

Furthermore, the services provided in these centres will enable the youth to build collaborative networks with like-minded enterprising youth in Kenya and internationally, receive training and mentorship, to mention, but a few.

Since 2013, my Administration has implemented a progressive agenda for the youth that has focused on assisting them in accessing financial resources to drive their dreams. One of these is the “Young Africa Works Programme”, launched a few weeks, in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, which aims to create more than 2 million jobs in the next 5 years.

Another such initiative is the ‘MbeleNaBiz’ Business Plan Competition under the Kenya Youth Employment and Opportunities Project. MbeleNaBiz aims to expand new and existing youth-led enterprises by providing them with grant funding and/or business plan training. I encourage all youth with entrepreneurial talent to take advantage and utilize these and other similar Government
initiatives, to prosper.

Finally, given our position as a Global Leader for the Young Peoples Agenda, I affirm my Administration’s commitment to remain true to the spirit of Article 55 of our Constitution. We will make every effort to ensure our youth realize their full potential and participate effectively in the advancement of the social, economic and political agenda of our Nation.

I thank you all once again for being part of these celebrations and wish you a happy “International Youth Day”.
Thank You And God Bless You.]

President Kenyatta to preside over the official opening of the 2019 Mombasa International Agricultural Society of Kenya (ASK) Show.

October 5, 2025 Hillary Kangwana Leave a comment

His Excellency the President will on Thursday this week, 5th September, join thousands of Kenyans, foreign traders and exhibitors at the ASK Jomo Kenyatta showground in Mkomani, Mombasa for the official opening of the 2019 Mombasa International Agricultural Society of Kenya (ASK) Show.

As part of the official opening ceremonies, the President who is also the Patron of the Agricultural Society of Kenya (ASK) will tour several exhibition stalls, deliver the key note address as well as award outstanding exhibitors.

The 2019 Mombasa ASK Show which will open its doors to the public on Wednesday, 4th September 2019 has attracted over 190 exhibitors from countries such as Uganda, Tanzania, Ukraine, China and Zanzibar.

Last week, His Excellency the President traveled to Yokohama, Japan for the Seventh Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD 7).

During the conference, which Kenya previously hosted in 2016, the over 30 African Heads of State and Government present made a common call for increased Public Private Partnerships (PPP) between Japanese and African enterprises as the preferred model of delivering sustainable development on the continent.

In his opening address, Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe announced a new initiative by the Japanese Government that seeks to strengthen judicial and law enforcement systems in Africa.

The programme dubbed New Approach for Peace and Stability in Africa (NAPSA) has already admitted 6,076 police officers, public prosecutors and judges from 39 African countries into a capacity building initiative where they will be trained on criminal justice and crime prevention.

Prime Minister Abe further announced a pledge by his government to support the roll out of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) programmes in Africa saying the initiative will benefit over three million recipients on the continent.

Through TICAD, PM Abe said Japan had invested over 20 billion dollars in Africa in the last 3 years.
On the sidelines of TICAD7, President Kenyatta and PM Abe led their respective delegations in bilateral talks during which the ongoing roll out of the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) programme and the development of a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Dongo Kundu were the main subjects of their discussions.

Prime Minister Abe assured President Kenyatta of Japan’s continued support of Kenya’s ambition to achieve UHC through Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangements as part of the Asian country’s pledge to support UHC programmes in Africa.
On the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Dongo Kundu and the construction of the Likoni Gate bridge, the two leaders agreed that with the support of the Japanese Government, Kenya should fast-track the commencement of the two key infrastructure projects.

President Kenyatta thanked Prime Minister Abe for the decision to host TICAD6 in Kenya in 2016 saying the conference helped raise the country’s profile as an investment destination of choice on the African continent.

The President noted that in the last 3 years, the number of Japanese companies setting shop in Kenya significantly rose from 41 to 57, a feat he termed as a success indicator of the growing bilateral ties between Tokyo and Nairobi.

The leaders also discussed ongoing United Nations reforms with President Kenyatta asking his host for Japan’s support for Kenya’s bid to win a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council.

President Kenyatta concluded by inviting PM Abe to attend the 25th International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD 25) that will be held in Nairobi between 12th and 14th November this year.
While in Japan, the President also held meetings with the United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres, President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda and Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth of Mauritius.

With the UN Secretary General, the President discussed regional peace and security in the Eastern Africa region and invited Mr Guterres to the UN Oceans Conference that Kenya will co-host with Portugal in Lisbon next year.

Prime Minister Jugnauth assured President Kenyatta of his country’s support for Kenya’s bid for a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council when elections are held in June 2020.

President Kenyatta and PM Jagnauth further agreed to conclude discussions on the “Avoidance of Double Tax Agreement” between Kenya and Mauritius by mid this month and sign a Memorandum of Understanding on Standards by end of September 2019.

Excitement as the Giant Snake, Omieri, makes return to Nyanza

October 5, 2025 Hillary Kangwana Leave a comment

The Preserved remains of the legendary python nicknamed Omieri were returned to Kisumu city today, thirty one years after its death hit the news headlines. Elders performed rituals before excited locals were allowed to have a glimpse of the humongous snake. Omieri was highly regarded by the Luos of Nyakach and was believed to bring rain, blessings and massive crop harvests. It died from injuries inflicted by wild fires in the hills of Nyakach.

The debate on Omieri once made a former MP for Nyakach, Ojwang’ Kombudo lose his tempter in Parliament as he demanded to know the whereabouts of its body that had been flown to Nairobi for preservation.

The ‘sacred’ snake was brought to Kisumu for viewing during the cultural festival organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) bringing together 47 counties. The remains of the legendary snake are kept in a cubic glass tank filled with industrial methylated alcohol.

Ambassador Amina Mohammed, the CS for Education, who was the chief guest at the ceremony said that the Cultural celebrations provide a platform for cultural exchanges, dissemination of knowledge and social practices. “Many thanks to the County Government of Kisumu, UNESCO, KNATCOM and the people of Kisumu for making this day a success. May this mark the beginning of fruitful and educative engagements in future”. Amina said, at the gala in Kisumu today. Ambassador Amina was representing H.E the president, Uhuru Kenyatta, at the third Kenya National Commission for UNESCO (KNATCOM) National Cultural celebrations. The theme for this year’s celebrations is, “Enhancing National Cohesion, Identity and Pride”.

Government Commitment To Integrity In National Exams Is Stronger, Says President Kenyatta

October 5, 2025 Hillary Kangwana Leave a comment

President Uhuru Kenyatta has said the Government’s commitment to integrity and honesty in national examinations is stronger than ever.

He said the reforms implemented by the Jubilee Administration to eradicate cheating and other malpractices in national examinations will be strengthened.

The President spoke when he hosted the 93rd Kenya Music Festival Winners’ State Concert at State House, Nakuru, on Wednesday August 14, 2019.

“I wish to reassure all of you that my government’s commitment continues in terms of upholding the values of fairness, integrity and quality in our examinations. That drive is stronger than ever,” said the President.

The President assured all those who will sit for national exams later in the year that they will be examined through a fair and secure process.

On the music festival, the President said the event is important in fostering unity and cohesion as it builds on the diversity of the nation.
He said the annual music festival brings out the beauty of the cultural diversity that makes Kenya unique and strong.
The President said the Government and people of Kenya appreciate the participation of Ugandan schools in the festival, adding that he would like to see participants from all East African Community member states.

“I would like to see all East African countries take part in this festival to make it a truly East African festival,” the President said adding that the festival builds bridges of friendship and fosters unity in Kenya as well as the region.

He said the festival is a display of remarkable talent and wonderful performances by energetic young people.

“This event has entertained, informed but also brought us together and the performances get better each year,” the President said.

On the Competence Based Curriculum (CBC) being rolled out, the President said the arts and music are no longer sideline subjects but are integral parts of the system.

Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha and the Chairman of the Kenya Music Festival Peter Wanjohi spoke at the event.

President Kenyatta Urges Asia To Use Kenya As Gateway To Africa’s Vast Market

October 5, 2025 Hillary Kangwana Leave a comment

President Uhuru Kenyatta today called on Asian economies to use Kenya as a gateway to Africa’s market of over 1.2 billion people that is worth more than US$ 29 trillion.
President Kenyatta said Kenya is the best entry point for Asian businesses that want to trade in Africa with the coming into force of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCTA).

“I invite you to use Kenya as a gateway to the African continent. It is not only one of the top-ten fastest growing economies in Africa but is also one of the most pro-business Nations on the continent,” said President Kenyatta today.
The President made the statement when he delivered the keynote address at the Singapore Summit 2019 on Saturday morning.

The Singapore Summit, started in 2012, is one of the foremost events that brings together business and thought leaders from Asia and around the world to discuss global trends in business, finance and geopolitics.
Addressing the business leaders gathered at the Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore, President Kenyatta said Kenya is a leader in pro-business reforms.
He said the country has scored huge improvements in the World Bank’s Ease-of-Doing-Business index, jumping 107 places since 2012 to its present position of number 61 globally and 3rd in Africa.

The President said Kenya is also the leading country in Sub-Saharan Africa in terms of ICT and technology-penetration, FinTech and Financial Inclusion.
Kenya’s mobile phone subscriptions currently stands at 95 percent of its population of more than 45 Million.

The country has also leveraged on its strength in ICT and mobile cellular subscription to become the global leader in mobile money and mobile banking.
“Kenya’s world-famous M-Pesa mobile money platform has promoted financial inclusion in our country and provided a template for reaching conventionally-unbanked populations across the region,” said the President.

He urged Asian investors to seek partnerships to access the vibrant Kenyan market and the wider continental market.
The President suggested several crucial steps to build strong foundation for the partnership between Singapore and Kenya as well as between the Asian and African continents.
He said Kenya and Singapore should strengthen cooperation in building and expansion of transport, communication, energy, housing, and ICT infrastructure in Kenya;
The second suggestion by the President was facilitation of mergers or collaborative arrangements between Asian companies and Kenyan companies; and promotion of linkages between Micro, Small, and Medium-Size Enterprises (MSMEs), on both sides of the Indian Ocean.

President Kenyatta said there should be collaboration between Asia and Africa in cultural exchanges, capacity building and information sharing as the foundations for forging a new path of productivity and commerce.
After delivering his keynote address, President Kenyatta joined the chairman of the summit Mr Ho Kwan Ping for a panel discussion on Kenya’s role in promoting closer partnership between Africa and Asia.

The President said Kenya’s skilled human capital, thriving service industry, its leading ICT sector and its strategic location make the country the right gateway into the African continent.
He said Kenya and Singapore are exploring the modalities for direct flights between the two countries. He said like Singapore, Kenya is a hub for the whole of Africa and is connected to all parts of the continent and Europe as well as America.

President Kenyatta’s visit to Singapore builds on the successful Afro-Asia Fintech Festival 2019, which was co-hosted by Kenya and Singapore in Nairobi in July 2019.
The President was accompanied by Central Bank Governor Dr Patrick Njoroge, Housing Principal Secretary Charles Hinga and Amb Johnson Weru, the Director Economic Affairs and Commercial Diplomacy Directorate at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

President Kenyatta Holds Bilateral Talks With Singapore PM Lee Hsien; Here is what was discussed

October 5, 2025 Hillary Kangwana Leave a comment

President Uhuru Kenyatta today held bilateral talks with Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong where the two leaders agreed to boost trade and cooperation between Kenya and the Asian nation.

President Kenyatta, who is on a visit to attend the Singapore Summit 2019, said Kenya and Singapore have led the way in developing Afro-Asian relations.

He cited the recent hosting in Nairobi of the first Afro-Asian Fintech Festival which was co-sponsored by the Central Bank of Kenya and its Singaporean equivalent — the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
He noted that in June 2018, the Enterprise Singapore Overseas Office was launched in Nairobi to promote trade between the two countries.

President Kenyatta said Kenya looks at Singapore as a “role model for what can be achieved through conscientious planning, diligent execution of people-centric policies, and the unwavering commitment to eliminating graft and inefficiency.”
“Taking heed of the examples set by Singapore and other Nations that have emerged from low-income nation status, Kenya has embarked on a transformative agenda to turn our Country into a newly industrializing middle-income country by the year 2030, through implementation of the Kenya Vision 2030,” said the President.

The President said his Administration has picked four main areas from the Vision 2030 to increase its focus in the short-term.
He called on Singapore and other Asian countries to invest in Kenya’s Big Four Agenda areas of focus that include Affordable Housing, Food Security, Jobs Creation through promotion of Manufacturing, and Universal Health Coverage.
“Exciting opportunities abound for Singaporean, Asian and other Business and Investment players in those four areas,” said the President.

President Kenyatta called for investments in Kenya’s plan to build new metropolitan areas and to expand existing ones in order to build 500,000 new housing units and their attendant supporting infrastructure by the year 2022.
He also called on Singaporean investors to partner with Kenya in the broad expansion of Agricultural Sector and Processing through the utilization of new technologies and techniques.

“To Singapore, Asia and the rest of the World, our Nation’s message is: Kenya is open for business and investment for players with a strategic interest in tapping into one of Africa’s fastest growing economies as well as the enormous potential of the entire Eastern and Central Africa Region,” said the President.
He proposed the establishment of a Joint Trade Committee to enhance bilateral trade and investment ties.
Prime Minister Lee said Singapore is keen on increasing its cooperation with Kenya and was also very interested in learning from Kenya’s experience in harnessing mobile money technology to enhance economic inclusion.

PM Lee said Singapore will support Kenya in improving the efficiency of its ports as the East African nation positions itself to serve the eastern and central African region effectively.
Earlier in the day, President Kenyatta visited the Housing Development Board in Singapore where he was taken on a tour of the types of houses that the Government builds and subsidises for its citizens.

80 percent of the people of Singapore live in Government built houses which are heavily subsidised by the State.
The President was taken through details of how Singapore has managed to maintain high standards in its housing programs to ensure that citizens get quality houses under the program.

The President also visited the Port of Singapore Authority (PSA) which manages one of the most efficient and busiest seaports in the world.
The Kenya Ports Authority is already working in partnership with PSA to improve the efficiency of Mombasa Port, which like Singapore is a hub port.
President Kenyatta said he is looking forward to see improvement in the operational capacity of Mombasa Port through its partnership with PSA.

The President was accompanied by Central Bank Governor Dr Patrick Njoroge and Housing Principal Secretary Charles Hinga

Government Designates August 26 As A Public Holiday To Facilitate National Census

October 5, 2025 Hillary Kangwana Leave a comment

The Government has designated August 26 as a public holiday to allow maximum enumeration of Kenyans during the national population census that begins next Saturday.

The announcement was made today by President Uhuru Kenyatta at the Kenyatta National Convention Centre (KICC) , Nairobi when he launched the countdown to the 2019 Kenya Population and Housing Census. “To ensure maximum enumeration during the first two days ( August 24 and 25) of the Census period, I have authorized Monday, 26th August 2019 to be a Public Holiday,” the President announced.

The Head of State assured Kenyans of their security during the census exercise saying necessary steps have been taken to ensure the activity takes place in a safe environment and with minimal disruption. “All enumerators will be accompanied by uniformed security officers, and may also be accompanied by community elders and leaders of residents’ associations, depending on the area,” he said.

To ensure that all Kenyans participate in the census, the President said special measures have been put in place to ensure pastoralists , staff in essential and emergency service sectors and persons who support international travel and airlines are enumerated.

The President who called on all Kenyans to support the process said government took the step to reschedule school opening dates so as to minimize movement of persons during the exercise. “It is therefore, the patriotic duty of each and every one of us to do all that is required to support the exercise,”the President said.

On the use of technology in the census, the President said he was proud that the mobile telephony devices and other accessories that will be used in the activity have all been locally assembled at Moi University and the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology.

He said data captured during this year’s census will be more detailed than in previous similar exercises so as to take care of all aspects of national planning and resource utilization. “The census data will be utilised in planning to ensure that all Kenyans will access opportunities in an equitable manner,” President Kenyatta said.

A team of 2,467 technology supervisors, 22,268 content supervisors and 138,572 enumerators has been assembled and will be deployed across the country to carry out the census exercise.
