When Brian Odhiambo, a fisherman, disappeared after allegedly being caught fishing, it exposed a dark side: wildlife rangers accused of violence, abductions, and more. Families live in fear, fighting for answers as illegal fishing thrives under the shadow of corruption. This is a story about loss, survival, and the dark secrets that lie beneath the beautiful lake. Watch 'The Last Catch,' premiering this Sunday, 21st, at 8 PM EAT on Africa Uncensored's YouTube channel.

@enock_kiminta @WorldResources Hongera CEO

Today we had a very engaging and insightful discussion with the @WorldResources (WRI) - Nairobi Kenya office, on how we can work together to advance community-led water resource management and sustainable financing models. Our agenda brought together both global perspectives and local experiences, covering: 🔹 The role of WRUAs in safeguarding water resources. 🔹 The importance of WRUA voices in shaping the outcome buyer market. 🔹 Reflections on lessons from PES 1.0 and opportunities for PES 2.0. 🔹 Current water challenges and pathways for innovative solutions. 🔹 Next steps and potential areas for collaboration. What stood out most was the shared commitment to move beyond conversations into co-created solutions that not only address water challenges but also strengthen community resilience and sustainability. As we look ahead, we call on the private sector as direct beneficiaries of healthy ecosystems and reliable water resources, to actively invest in Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) as a smart financial model. This is not just an environmental good deed; it is a strategic investment to de-risk business and secure water sustainability for the future. @WRA_KEN @NemaKenya @KeWruas @UNEP @MOWSI_KE @giz_gmbh @WWF_Kenya #WaterSecurity #InvestInNature #PES #BusinessResilience #NatureBasedSolutions #CorporateSustainability #PartnershipsForImpact #FutureOfWater

Good people, Monday is a big day in this country. A group of farmers have been in court over the Seed and Plant Varieties Act 2012. A section of it seeks to ban farmers from exchanging seeds. And for an African seed is sacred. Monday is judgement day @Seedsavers_KE

The inaugural Kenya Youth Conference on Climate Change and Water Security, spearheaded by the @washparliament, brings young people from across the country and other key stakeholders together to engage in water resource management and water policies conversations. #Voices4Rivers

#ClimateChange indeed poses major threats to water security. If we do not act swiftly in adopting the right climate adaptation and mitigation strategies within local communities, then we will have to deal with water scarcity and water conflict. @Kenya_WaterAmb @BrianMisiati

@Kenyans Can we also recall nominated Senators? This one needs to go
