Big congrats to Kelvin Kiarie for bringing home gold and silver for Kenya at the International Skating Championship in Benin 🇧🇯

This was him last year at the World Championship Singapore 2025. He was 18th worldwide still with no support from the ministry of sports. The work continues.

Thrilled to welcome @ConilleGarry as our new @UnKenya #ResidentCoordinator. Garry - wishing you all the best and I’m delighted that Kenya and UN Kenya will be in such terrific hands! Hongera sana and the best of luck. @UN

UN Kenya welcomes the appointment of @ConilleGarry by @antonioguterres to lead the UN system in Kenya. The @UN stands ready to deliver transformative results, in partnership with #GoK 🇰🇪, to help achieve #Kenya’s #SDG’s & advance the progress to #LeaveNoOneBehind. Karibu #Kenya

Seeing his desk today is haunting. His pen is still there. His notebook is still open to yesterday’s to-do list. He had plans for today. He thought he had time. ​To see HR treat his life like a "timing issue" for a meeting is a level of coldness I can’t describe. They didn't lose a friend; they just lost a "user ID" on their system.🙌

We value the strong partnership we have built with the United Nations in the past 60 years, a relationship that has now elevated Nairobi into a premier global UN hub alongside New York, Geneva, and Vienna. Through this partnership, agencies such as UNICEF have played a central role in shaping our education reforms, supporting the transition to the Competency-Based Education and Training system, while strengthening our efforts to reduce maternal mortality and improve learning outcomes. Met UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russel, State House, Nairobi. We agreed to continue working towards a healthier, better-educated nation, driven by collaboration that delivers real results for the people of Kenya.

I’ve loved every moment I’ve spent in Nairobi down the decades. Even that one! :-) Thanks for a great interview and the trip down memory lane…

Own It. Earn It. 123 countries at the UN have just taken a vote to recognise the transatlantic slave trade as one of the gravest crimes against humanity. Yet, much of Europe abstained. The Africa–Europe relationship must evolve from avoidance to acknowledgement. Africa does not want charity — it wants fairness. Trust can only be rebuilt through owning, not abstaining, and the future depends on confronting the past. #VIP

Whoever came up with the idea of sending messages to your own self on WhatsApp is a star frr.

Being a man isn’t always easy. You plan the trip, fuel the car, make sure everyone’s comfortable… and somewhere along the way, the music goes quiet. You check the mirror 🪞 All the babies? Fast asleep. Even your babe? Gone 😄 And just like that, from “family man” to a chauffeur. Deep down, you smile though you feel they should keep you company and help stay awake as well 😴. But this is what love looks like; Carrying everyone safely, even when they don’t see it in the moment. Men… we keep driving ❤️

Congratulations to the Morocco legal team - truly the greatest strikers in African football history. Who needs a world-class frontline when you have a committee that can score three goals from a mahogany desk two months after the final whistle?

“I am shocked by this decision, because as a person who sat on the @CAF_Online Appeals Board for SIX YEARS, I know that the Appeals Board does not have the power to change the on-field decision of a referee.” This is what I was told by a former member a few minutes ago. Hmm!

Opening game for Morocco at the World Cup. The whole of Africa is going to celebrate every Brazilian goal like we just won the World Cup.

Announced in the middle of the night like the thieves that you are

The AFCON has lost major credibility tonight.

Trophies are won on the pitch 🇸🇳⭐️⭐️

Senegal are likely to argue that they did not abandon the game, the match was completed by the referee’s whistle. They can say Article 82 was misapplied because the game continued under the same circumstances and reached its natural end. The referee allowing Senegal back on the pitch and Morocco happily continuing the game will be used to state the match - and result - was valid. As the final was completed, they can argue the integrity of the game was upheld. They can also claim changing the winner of a completed final is an extreme overreach by the Appeal Board. And that the punishment for a delay - not a refusal to play as they finished the game - is excessive.

Although AFCON rules state walking off or refusing to play for a prolonged period is grounds for elimination, the decision to strip Senegal of the AFCON title two months after their trophy lift is a bad look for CAF. It should be within the power of the officials in real time to disqualify a team, but it's a hollow victory for Morocco to appeal and win in this manner, weeks after the trophy lift. Morocco accepted Senegal's return from their 10-minute walk off, gladly resumed play and took their penalty. Missing it, losing the game, then appealing to gain the trophy doesn't sit right, even if by the letter of the law there are grounds to do so.
