@AIGHospitals I need to talk to someone.

@21way1 Great work. Powerful perspectives!

Honored to represent YOWPSUD at the 3-day Regional Communication Strategic Workshop on PCVE. In my roles as Portfolio Lead for Peace & Security, Climate & Food Security, and Head of Communications, I was privileged to contribute perspectives on how responsible media and community voices can strengthen prevention of violent extremism. As the Head of the CEF Working Group on Training and Capacity Building under the #NSPCVE implementation framework, this forum was highly relevant in shaping practical activities that align county action plans with the Communication & Technology Working Group. I was glad to present our group’s proposals as a media practitioner and journalist, which focused on interventions to be implemented by media practitioners before, during and after the electioneering period including proactive reporting, counter-narratives, unified information management, and strengthened coordination between media, CSOs and government to prevent hate speech and violence. Grateful to @NCTC_Kenya for this impactful training and for empowering us to translate policy into community-centered action that protects lives, promotes peaceful elections, and upholds national values. #PCVE #NSPCVE #MediaForPeace #YOWPSUD @SFCG_Kenya @CanHCKenya @IGAD_CEPCVE @TanaForum @UN_OCT @Hedayah_CVE @pcve_org @NepadAprmKenya @NCIC_Kenya @theGCERF @theGCTF @iDove00 @AUC_PAPS @EUinKenya @EU_Commission @swahilipothub @peacemakersnetw @Huria_KE

@harrykaranja These are solid and cogent experiential anecdotes. I hope the CJ and JOs are taking notes.

Years ago, I undertook my judicial attachment under a Senior Principal Magistrate, in the criminal division of Milimani Law Courts. The magistrate would normally give me and my fellow student, her case files to go through and practice writing judgments . One of the cases involved a parking boy who had been accused of stealing a car radio. The evidence was circumstantial at best. He was in the general vicinity when the complainant found his car broken into and the radio stripped out. There were no witnesses and the radio was not recovered. However, the parking boy being a "parking boy" was the prime suspect. He was charged and presented before court. When I went through the case file, I carefully applied all the principles I'd recently learnt in my Evidence and Criminal Law class. Burden of proof beyond reasonable doubt, he who alleges just prove, actus reus etc. I ultimately concluded that the prosecution had failed to prove their case and I "acquitted" the accused. To my surprise and consternation, the magistrate had a different conclusion. She found the unrepresented man guilty and gave him a custodial sentence. Later in her chambers, I questioned her decision. Her response sent a chill down my spine: "if I'm wrong, he can as well appeal". I thought it was beyond cruel to imprison someone with so little basis in law, when there was a good probability they were innocent. Sadly it wasn't the last time I was to hear that sentiment. Recently a judicial officer said the exact same thing to me when I brought up the question of quality of judgments. That way of thinking is not an outlier. It seems there is a lot less rigour by JOs in subordinate courts in writing judgments with the excuse that they're overburdened and that the aggrieved party could always appeal anyway. Instead they churn out shoddy judgments in order to meet monthly quotas set down by @jsckenya. It's symptomatic of a @Kenyajudiciary that has lost focus in the critical role it plays in society when JOs are seen as little more than conveyor belts. The courts should be a forum where those who've been wronged can access justice, it should not be a place where the people are just numbers on a spreadsheet. It is a terrible thing when these officers lack empathy to appreciate the impact that their decisions have. A bad decision can be the difference between a child attending school or being sent home, a single mother being kicked out for rent arrears, a startup going belly up and adding to youth unemployment. A bad decision can alter the course of one's life irreparably. I hope the CJ takes seriously the critiques by advocates and litigants on poorly written judgments and supports the end of basing performance of judicial officers on quantity of judgments and instead bases performance on the quality of the judgments. I'm afraid that if quick action is not taken, public confidence in the courts ability to resolve disputes fairly will ebb; lawyers will lose their relevance; and extrajudicial means to resolve disputes will become the favoured approach by wronged people.

@RickFreedland @simonateba Exactly 💯

@simonateba The judge called it rape! At minimal sexual abuse. Is sexual abuse good behavior for any President? He was convicted period.

BREAKING: ABC News and George Stephanopoulos have reached a settlement with Donald Trump in his defamation lawsuit, avoiding a trial. Under the terms of the agreement, ABC News will contribute $15 million to a charitable foundation and museum to be established for Trump, similar to those set up by past U.S. presidents. The network will also pay $1 million to cover Trump’s attorney fees. In addition, ABC News will issue a public statement of regret regarding a March 2024 online article, which contained comments that led to the lawsuit. The settlement, filed publicly on Saturday, marks a resolution of the legal dispute.

@MercyJuma_ @WFP_Kenya Congratulations, my daughter. Prof knew!

After 7.5 years with #BBC, I’m starting a new chapter. Thrilled to join @WFP_Kenya as Head of Communications. This isn’t a departure from storytelling, it’s a shift in how and where those stories are told. With a focus on narratives rooted in building resilience. #ChangingLives

@edwardmwasi Exactly 💯

Residing in a city like Nairobi for an extended period while the economy struggles demands innovation. Subpar solutions may have a brief lifespan; it's adaptability that will carry you through. Sio uongo au utapeli!

@edwardmwasi Exactly 💯

In the past, child “labour” was criticized as a violation of human rights. But culturally, we saw it as skill-building for the future. Today, our education systems like CBC support it as skill development. Who's fooling who? Let's rethink the balance between rights and progress.

@edwardmwasi @unhabitatyouth @SDY_Ke @youthagenda254 @NYC_YouthVoice @TtyAlliance @BD_Africa @Kenyayearbook @InfoBytesKe @cbs_ke Exactly 💯. This promises a revolution in home culinary welfare.

One very important reason why one should have their own kitchen posho mill is that they can decide what kind of cooking flour to make. They can mix maize with groundnuts, soya beans, dried bananas, herbs,etc. This would help manage their nutrition affordability with flexibility.

@edwardmwasi @NYC_YouthVoice @SDY_Ke @YKFG_Official @youthagenda254 @unhabitatyouth @ekisiangani @KiarieJohn Correct 💯

Why are there more entertainment venues in lower/middle class areas? And why do social media sites with shallow content target them? Serious entrepreneurs consume with moderation, while others get lost in needless distractions. Choose what to consume wisely, not junk content.

@edwardmwasi @unhabitatyouth @BenjiNdolo @UNYouthKenya @YKFG_Official @UydiKenya @youthagenda254 @Kenyayearbook @InvolveYouthTTC @NYC_YouthVoice @johnlinusTom1 Wisdom detected. I'm going to try this in our Butula Boys School, the Western Academic Hawks.

Ever wondered why it’s difficult to fundraise to built a dormitory, library, classroom or even a church? It’s because of accountability and transparency issues. Split every component of the project and ask every donor to adopt each UNIT equivalent to their support with a PLAQUE.

Excited to announce that my first academic article 'Artificial Intelligence in Newsrooms in Kenya' has just been published in the renown European Scientific Journal (ESJ). You can access it here 👇🏽👇🏽 eujournal.org/index.php/esj/…

@edwardmwasi @Kenyayearbook @NationAfrica @HousingUrbanKE @BD_Africa @NYC_YouthVoice @AjiraDigital @YouthAdvocateKe @MOH_Kenya @ICPAK_Kenya @ICPAK That salaried employment is fickle. Ephemeral.

COVID-19 outbreak 2 yrs ago triggered a genuine conversation in the world. Businesses died, some evolved and others emerged. Was a transition of a life time & lessons learned would definitely be used as real examples in future business studies. Did we learn anything as a country?

@edwardmwasi True. And prices of land in Syokimau, Machakos, Kitengela and their environs will rush North.

When the Nairobi Expressway is finally operational, Machakos and Kajiado counties will essentially be PART of Nairobi city. Residentials, Hotels, Hospitals, Headquarters, and industries would spread out.

Let's forget #sonkomalong for now and listen to this pastor from Tanzania. Magufuli should apologies before we start another Twitter war.

@MercyJuma_ My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

Never ever thought that I would have to virtually mourn a loved one. But here I am. Woke up at 6am to attend my brother’s burial via face book livestream. Unbelievable! What a brutal time to die Chris? Your burial, the complete opposite of the person you were,the life you lived..

@sydneyonyango @ntvkenya True. And it is amounts to circumventing the obtaining legal process. It's an illegality. Sonko represents the county executive, not the county government. The county assembly wasn't a party to the agreement ( Art. 176 (a) )

@ntvkenya I think this is some kind of plea bargain from Sonko

BREAKING: National govt takes over functions of Nairobi County govt.

@Maxwafula1 @ntvkenya That Article talks of AGREEMENT between the 2 levels. Art.179 defines a county government as comprising a county assembly and a county executive. Sonko represents the county executive, NOT county assembly. In short, that agreement at State House breached Art.179.
