@MwangiMaina_ Emotional intelligence and relevance at work.

WHAT A PITCH! Listen as Billion Dollar Investors rate Kenya 🇰🇪.

When Uhuru was in power — they were heroes When Ruto is in power — they will bring disease This is pure tribal supremacy

🌍 Champions don’t just protect medals, they protect the planet too. 🌲 This World Environment Day, we are reminded that sustainability and sport go hand in hand. The fields we play on, the air we breathe, and the environment that nurtures future champions all depend on the choices we make today. Athletes rely on clean air to perform, safe water to hydrate, and healthy environments to train and compete. Protecting our planet means protecting the future of sport. #WorldEnvironmentDay #SustainabilityInSport #TeamKenya #GoGreen #SportsForChange #protecttheplanet #SportsAndEnvironment

@EmmanuelMotelin This is gold-standard urban planning and infrastructure. Admirable to the core.

For the first time, Kenya's federation media teams hit the same camp , learning, networking and building the future of sports storytelling. #TeamKenya

Gen Zs, Here is pure and undiluted WISDOM you didn't know about President William Ruto.

Ndindi Nyoro being shown dust in Parliament 😀😀😀

Ruto realised that most Kenyans do not know what they want. They will oppose the construction of stadiums. They will oppose affordable housing. They will oppose SGR to Malaba. They will oppose partnership with France. But they are the same people who claim they want nothing but results. So what does Ruto do? He goes ahead and does what he knows is good for this country. A leader does not follow. He is followed. Kenyans want a puppet, someone who listens to their insistent bickering. Ruto ain't no ones bitch.

The health and safety of Kenyans remain our top priority. As part of our preparedness measures against the Ebola threat, the Government is taking all necessary steps to prevent, detect, and manage any potential cases, while strengthening our public health response capabilities with the support of our international partners, including the Government of the United States. Kenya’s partnership with the United States spans decades and has played an important role in supporting our response to major public health challenges, including HIV/Aids, COVID-19, and Ebola. The quarantine facility being established at Laikipia Air Base with the support of the United States is neither unique nor exceptional, but part of a broader national preparedness system. It is one of 23 such centres under Kenya’s disease preparedness framework, alongside facilities at Kenyatta National Hospital (Nairobi), the National Police Service Hospital (Nairobi), Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (Eldoret), Kenyatta University Teaching, Referral and Research Hospital (Nairobi/Kiambu), and Alupe Hospital (Busia), among others. These measures are intended solely to safeguard public health and strengthen our capacity to respond effectively to health emergencies. Similar partnerships proved invaluable during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the establishment of a specialised facility at Nairobi Hospital, and continue to enhance our preparedness today. At a media roundtable at Wajir State Lodge, urged leaders and stakeholders not to politicise public health interventions and reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to protecting the health and well-being of all Kenyans. I also discussed progress on key projects and the broader development agenda for Northern Kenya, including ongoing efforts to unlock the region’s immense potential, expand economic opportunities, and accelerate inclusive growth.

For decades, Northern Kenya endured marginalisation, underinvestment, and limited access to essential services and economic opportunities. Today, that narrative is changing. The hosting of the 63rd Madaraka Day celebrations in Wajir County marks a historic turning point in Kenya’s journey toward inclusion, equity, and national unity. Through deliberate investments in education, healthcare, housing, infrastructure, and the livestock economy, the Government is addressing historical injustices and unlocking the region’s vast potential. From the establishment of new teacher training colleges and expanded healthcare access through SHA, to the KSh100 billion Northern Kenya Gateway Corridor and the KSh5 billion County Livestock Investment Company, a new chapter of growth and opportunity is taking shape. This year’s Madaraka Day is more than a celebration of self-rule—it is a powerful affirmation that no part of Kenya will be left behind because of geography, history, or politics. Kenya’s progress is strongest when every region is empowered to contribute to the nation’s shared prosperity.

1/2 Wajir Was Never the Edge of Kenya. Today We Stop Pretending It Was. For sixty-three years, a quiet lie sat at the heart of our national story that Kenya had a centre and a margin, a place that mattered and a place that merely existed. The centre got the flags, the stadiums, the presidents and the cameras. The margin the old Northern Frontier District got soldiers, suspicion, and silence. Today, on the first of June 2026, that lie is being buried in the red soil of Wajir, and not a moment too soon. Madaraka Day means self-rule. Power belonging to the people. It is therefore the most fitting holiday imaginable to bring, for the very first time since independence, to a region that has spent six decades being ruled rather than included. President Uhuru Kenyatta began the practice of carrying our national days beyond Nairobi. President Ruto continued it, Embu, Kericho, Bungoma, Kwale, Homa Bay, Kitui and now, on the seventh occasion away from the capital, he has done the thing that no government before dared to do. He has brought the Republic to Wajir. Start with the history, because it demolishes the central myth the notion that Wajir is some remote, forgotten edge of the country. Wajir was founded in 1912 by the British colonial administration, which built a fortified outpost, a boma, to guard the strategically vital shallow wells and to assert control over the Northern Frontier District. That makes it one of the oldest towns in the entire country older than almost anywhere outside the coast. Nobody plants a garrison in a place that does not matter. Then, during the Second World War, this same town was invaded and occupied by the Italian army and became a point of bitter conflict for more than six months. African, Indian and European soldiers fought and bled here, side by side, as part of the global struggle that decided the fate of nations. Empires did not battle for half a year over an irrelevant patch of desert. They fought over Wajir because Wajir was worth fighting for. Soldiers of three continents understood its value generations ago. It is long past time the rest of us caught up. Let us be honest about what Wajir has carried. This is a county where, in February 1984, security forces of the state herded thousands of men onto an airstrip and left them to die in the sun. By some accounts close to five thousand sons of this land never walked home from Wagalla. For decades the country looked away so when a president flies in, when the national anthem is sung at a brand-new stadium on Wajir's own ground, understand what is actually happening: the same state that once arrived here with rifles is arriving with a flag, a parade, and a promise. That is not symbolism. That is repair. Consider what this county did not have within living memory. Not a single inch of tarmac. Men and women were born, lived full lives, and were buried having never once seen a tarmacked road, never turned a tap and watched clean water run. To this day Wajir, Mandera and Marsabit are not even wired into the national electricity grid. The same grid that lights Nairobi's billboards and Mombasa's hotels. You cannot lecture a region about patriotism while leaving it in the dark. Belonging is not a speech. Belonging is a road, a hospital, a light bulb, a reason for your children to stay. To the critics who say the stadium is misplaced. I hear them, and I reject them. A 10,000-seat stadium has risen here in record time, built by the Kenya Defence Forces, alongside an upgraded airport, new town roads, street lighting that has changed the very face of Wajir at night, and the launch of a fully equipped Level 5 hospital.

The story of Wajir Stadium. The Wembley of the Camel Capital

What was Uhuru doing with our money?

@EmmanuelMotelin Agreed entirely. Citizen (ir)responsibility manifest everywhere yet any authority intervention for order is met with protests, litigation and all manner of pretenses for rights. A firm hand blind to noise like President Kagame delivers like here.

If this appears on your Timeline kindly Repost. We need to find this criminal! They robbed this lady in Nellmephius, Pretoria. South Africa is criminal! When he went out she was like "Dankie neh" and deep down that dankie means thank you for not killing me. 💔💔

Today @MamaRachelRuto and I joined Kenyans during the National Prayer Breakfast, a moment to pause, reflect, and pray together as one people. This year’s theme, Forgiveness and Reconciliation, reminds us of the attributes that hold a nation together. Before politics and ethnicity, we are first and foremost Kenyans.
