What do you mean President Ruto, while campaigning in 2022, promised some bodaboda guys that they would be part of the presidential escort?

Africa CEO Forum
Africa CEO Forum@africaceoforum·
🎙️ @PaulKagame took the Africa CEO Forum stage and spoke plainly about what much of the world still finds difficult to name. 🗣️ His charge was clear. The same global powers that lecture Africa on democracy and human rights are, with the other hand, stripping the continent of what it owns. Sanctions, he reminded the room, are not always the instruments of principle they claim to be; more often they reward the highest bidder, falling on whoever offers less and sparing whoever extracts more. The cynicism, he noted, is not new. In an older century, kings handed territories to their in-laws and children to administer as they pleased, and today the same logic operates under different vocabulary, with a foreign power simply telling a chosen proxy to go and take whatever it wants from a given region. 💎 The deeper point landed hardest. For too long, Africa has played the role of a continent waiting to be ripped off by anyone shrewd enough and powerful enough to arrive at its door, and that posture has to end. "We must be able to say no," the Rwandan President insisted, before urging African leaders, public and private, to begin assigning their own value to their own assets rather than accepting whatever value others choose to recognise. 🌍 It is the question this year's ACF places at the very centre of its programme. Pan-African ownership, resource sovereignty, and the refusal to mistake openness for vulnerability are no longer aspirational language. They are the operating conditions for whatever African economic future emerges from the next decade. Kagame's intervention was not a lament about the world as it is, but a call to the continent's leadership to stop negotiating from a position of permanent disadvantage.

Amb. Monica Juma represents a generation of Kenyan leadership that carried competence with quiet authority. Edwin Afande represents the continuation of that legacy- proof that excellence reproduces itself when mentorship is intentional. And perhaps that is the most powerful thing about this moment:
 Kenya meeting itself at the highest table of global service. Not by accident.
But by preparation, persistence, and legacy. A truly beautiful Kenyan moment. Honoured to witness

A Kenyan presenting credentials. Another Kenyan receiving them. On the global stage. And suddenly diplomacy becomes personal. Because beyond the UN emblem and formalities lies a story many understand too well - of mentorship, proximity to greatness, seasons of learning, and eventually, arrival. One generation opening doors. Another walking through them.

Sam: What is France’s interest in Kenya? John Kaguchia: Resources. France needs these resources to run its own economy. Its economy is so much dependent on African countries that if you cut them out completely, you won’t have anything like France in the coming days #CitizenDayBreak

Kenya is hosting the Africa Forward 2026 summit in partnership with France, but many fear Nairobi’s interests could be subordinated to a neo-colonial power. So, what are the benefits and drawbacks for both sides in the Kenya-France partnership? aje.news/8lfrf1

What happened to Gabriella in the Senate is reprehensible and unacceptable. She came to Parliament to witness democracy in action and perhaps to imagine herself in leadership one day. Instead, she was humiliated by a leader entrusted to protect the dignity of citizens, especially the young ones. As a mother, a former parliamentarian, and a woman who has spent decades fighting for the dignity and inclusion of women and girls in public life, I know this is not the leadership we envisioned or struggled for. Gabriella, do not let this moment diminish your voice or your dreams. Women can serve with dignity and purpose and there’s a number of us who would love to share a cup of chai with you and show you how. Public office is a privilege, those who hold it must carry themselves with the dignity the people deserve. Karibu chai, Gabriella.
Faith Odhiambo@FaithOdhiambo8

What happened in the Senate Chamber on 25th March 2026 was not just an embarrassment but a gross violation of the dignity of a child. A young female student who went to Parliament under the School Voluntary Service Scheme to learn was met with inappropriate and degrading remarks from Senator Karen Nyamu. The Senate must be a SAFE space that affirms the dignity and future of our Children. Article 53(1)(d) of the Constitution guarantees every child the right to be protected from abuse and inhuman treatment. Article 53(2) makes the child's best interests paramount in every matter with no exceptions. Additionally, Section 22(1) of the Children Act 2022 prohibits any person from subjecting a child to psychological abuse which includes acts causing embarrassment and humiliation. I call upon the Senate to go beyond accepting the theatrical apology and take concrete accountability measures. Senator Karen Nyamu still sought to justify her conduct even while purporting to apologise. An apology that is read and accepted in minutes is NOT justice. If we are serious about protecting the girl child, then our institutions must reflect that seriousness.
