Ambassador Tom Amolo, EBS.

In 2017, Harvard professor Michael Porter gave a 72-minute masterclass on why most companies fail at strategy. His frameworks: - "There is no best company" - The IKEA test he hated every minute of - Why happy customers mean you're in trouble 12 lessons on strategy:

@aerockrose Our @_AfricanUnion can really benefit from this rethink of strategy in it’s ongoing Reform process

@FranceinKenya @AkolMiyenKuol @SingoeiAKorir PS Sing'Oei et ambassadeur Suquet ont vraiment élevé ce partenariat florissant Kenya / France. Keep on enhancing this relationship…perhaps now-Security Council Reform?

🌍 How does the Franco-Kenyan partnership contribute to carry Africa's voice to the global table? 💡Principal Secretary for Foreign Affairs @SingoeiAKorir leads us through the Kenyan journey towards two major upcoming diplomatic events involving France 🇫🇷 and Kenya 🇰🇪: 1️⃣ In May 11-12, the #AfricaForward Summit will bring together leaders, top entrepreneurs, youth innovators and creators from all the continent to address global challenges such as energy transition, investment in industry and digital systems, climate finance and energy transition through meaningful partnerships. 2️⃣ One month after, in June, France has invited Kenya to participate at the #G7 Summit in Évian to ensuring that Africa's concerns and solutions to such issues are not framed outside of the continent, but articulated by those who live them. As Nairobi will soon host Africa and as Kenya heads to the #G7, France will keep working together with Kenya to ensure that Africa's voice will play a bigger role in shaping the global agenda. 💪🏾 Read P.S.

@ajongo2000 All good Ndugu. I will reach out.I have been with Dean Beyene and a couple of colleagues in the past couple of weeks.

@amolosango Good afternoon Omin Ambassador Tom , . In fact, I asked about you the other day from one of your diplomat a protocol officer at the airport the day I came . How are you doing?

At the kind invitation of the Dean of the African Diplomatic Corps in Nairobi, I attended the farewell of High Commissioner of Malawi to Kenya , H.E Callista J. Mutharika three days ago . It was a great opportunity to reconnect with my old ADC friends and meeting new ones .

@CrystalAsige @danaceda Let’s hold their feet to the fire. Let’s not assume that “fairness” features in a narrative and vocabulary that consistently diminished, exploited us for centuries. We have to figure out how to “take”, not to “expect fairness”. We now know the world doesn’t work like that.

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

@GhanaMFA @IamMzilikazi An Affirmative African Narrative- Justice, Dignity, Intellect,Assertive, Comportment.

“Let it be recorded that when history beckoned, we did what was right for the memory of the millions who suffered the indignity of slavery.”

Deeply encouraged by the steady advancement of @OGPKenya platform, distinguished by its co-creation architecture that brings Government (at both levels and across the three branches), civil society and private sector into a shared accountability compact in a unique whole of society framework. As I reflect on ten years as Co-Convener, I reaffirm my commitment to strengthening a distinctly Kenyan open government framework anchored in transparency, accountability, and citizen-centred delivery translating commitments into measurable public value. @opengovpart I extend my appreciation to Stephanie Muchai (OGP Global Co-Chair) @carole_gaita @mzalendowatch, Dorothy Jemator (Vice Chair, CAJ),), and Maureen Kariuki (OGP Kenya Lead) for a truly impactful and forward-looking engagement today. @ForeignOfficeKE @pthigo

@africa_amani @_AfricanUnion A good , important outcome.We Africans really have to be strategic. We should not plunge willy nilly into power grabbing contests, for the sake of it.Our leaders should rather position themselves in the most advantageous scenario to best benefit the struggling people of Africa.

📢BREAKING: Here is the official announcement from the AU that the motion for endorsing Macky Sall did not receive support in the @_AfricanUnion. In less than 24 hrs (almost unprecedented tight timeline for silence procedure), 20 states including #Senegal from almost all regions broke the silence procedure depositing their objection, thereby rejecting the draft decision.

@Absolute_Kganki About time…

“The president of the country must be elected directly by the people through a popular vote, not MPs. We can’t allow MPs to horse trade on the president’s post, the president must also be a unifying figure.” - Mathews Phosa

@BritamEA @MwangoCapital Oh dear! My boyhood chum. Grew up playing “shake” &“baano”.

Robala ka Kgotso

@mohammedhersi @kipmurkomen @ImmigrationDept @LarryMadowo A slight diplomatic nudge by MF&DA both here and in Abuja, should sort it out. Keep the temperatures low.

BW CS @kipmurkomen @ImmigrationDept what became of rule of reciprocity? We not only exempt Nigerians from ETA but they can also remain in Kenya for upto 60 days. Their charge of $80 is totally wrong , denying @LarryMadowo visa while its their prerogative its also not right. Larry is Africas voice on @cnni . He may not always broadcast what pleases a country but by and large he has given Africa a great platform. Kenya has also been praised and called out in equity measure . @NGRPresident @NGRPresident you need to call your immigration team.

@SingoeiAKorir Outstanding!Now we need to establish and entrench a Model African Union simulation package,as envisaged in the ongoing Reform of the African Union ,led by the Champion,to bring the African Union closer to its clients- the African people.

Twenty-five years ago, a single idea took root to bring young people into the room where world issues are debated. Today, that idea has grown into the Kenya Model United Nations (KMUN): a living, breathing platform where Kenya’s youth do not simply observe global affairs, but actively shape what comes next. Honoured to stand alongside French Amb. @arnaud_suquet, Deputy Director KSG Peter Quest, Rob Burnett (CEO, @ShujaazKenya), KMUN founder and visionary @RonnieOsumba , Secretary-General @ModelunKenya Simon Kimuhu, and the committee of Third Secretaries @ForeignOfficeKE led by Debora Osiya and Stephen Otundo at this milestone moment. In a continent where the majority are young, KMUN reminds us that the voice of Africa is not emerging, it is already here. From Nairobi, a growing anchor of multilateralism in the Global South, to partnerships opening pathways in jobs and research, the opportunity is undeniable. Yet so too is the challenge: to rebuild trust in a world unsettled by AI, misinformation, and rapid change. I encouraged this generation to build a deep awareness of where we stand and where we are going to see clearly, think boldly, and act with intention. To exercise agency with courage, to move with urgency, and to carry responsibility not as a burden, but as a calling. Theodore Roosevelt aptly said, “it is not the critic who counts… the credit belongs to the one who is actually in the arena.” The future is not waiting in the distance it is being written now by those willing to step into that arena. We also used the occasion to seek views from the youth on the African Forward Summit between France and Africa in May in Nairobi as well as on the Trust Summit.

@ShehuSani @africaupdates Dangerous precedent

Senegal won the AFCON on the Pitch but was snatched by CAF in the Boardroom;that’s unconscionable and a dangerous precedent in African football.The fact that the Senegalese team walked out in protest and returned to play till the final whistle doesn’t warrant this afterthought daylight robbery.They just want to reward Morocco for hosting and losing.

Asante sana PS @SingoeiAKorir for this fruitful exchange of views. Our bilateral relations are growing steadily in scope and depth also thanks to your personal engagement. 🇩🇪🫱🏻‍🫲🏾🇰🇪 partnership provides a solid bedrock in challenging times of proliferating and protracted crises.
