Deeply grateful to @ForeignOfficeKE and every institution that built the infrastructure for #TheTrustSummit2026. Rebuilding global order takes more than declarations, it requires an unyielding coalition across governments, multilateral bodies, tech, private sector, civil society, and regulatory leaders.

Reflecting on Day 1 of @GTSummit2026 as we head into Day 2. “Trust is built when citizens’ voices matter and institutions are accountable for their actions.” Speaking on a panel, Our ED, @carole_gaita emphasised that meaningful public participation goes beyond hearings and memoranda. It requires institutions to show how citizens’ views shape decisions, with clear feedback on what was adopted, what was rejected and why. The panel moderated by Principal Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Dr. @SingoeiAKorir also included: - @HonAmasonKingi, Speaker of the House @Senate_KE - Hon. @CJMarthaKoome, Chief Justice and President of @THE_SCOK - Dr. @VinceOgutu, VC of @StrathU - Sean Karanja, Venture Capitalist & Startup Builder #TrustSummit2026 #WeavingTrust

The Unvarnished Global Reality: • 3.7 Billion People live in nations where debt interest payments exceed total spending on healthcare or education. • Selective Morality: From Gaza to climate pledges, international law loses all credibility when violations are condemned in one conflict but excused in another. Rules cannot constrain the vulnerable while sparing the powerful.~@MoussaMaraMali #TheTrustSummit2026 #WeavingTrust

Three days. Big questions. One stronger cybersecurity community. Day 3 of #JengaSec2026 brought conversations on cybersecurity careers, homegrown innovation and the skills Kenya needs to defend itself. We also celebrated the participants who rose to the challenge and put their cybersecurity skills to the test (the big reveal is tomorrow!) The message is clear: building a safer digital future takes skilled people, homegrown solutions, and industry-wide collaboration. Thank you to our speakers, partners, participants and everyone who made #JengaSec2026 possible. Let’s keep building! And stay tuned for the BIG REVEAL tomorrow. #Cybersecurity #JengaSec2026 #DigitalResilience
