Political goonism and hired violence in Kenya have proliferated between 2024 and 202. Ahead of the 2027 General Elections, CHRIPS and ICJ convened stakeholders to examine what drives recruitment: economic precarity, political brokerage, weak institutional trust and impunity.

Yesterday, we wrapped up a two-day event that concluded with a powerful storytelling masterclass bringing together mid-career journalists and digital storytellers working at the intersection of climate, urban displacement, and gender. Participants participated in thought-provoking discussions and interactive sessions on how to centre affected communities in their reporting, apply participatory storytelling methods, and reflect on the ethics of voice and representation. The masterclass also explored elevating local stories and connecting them to broader evidence and global narratives. A special thank you to our facilitators: Dr. Sanaa Alimia, Associate Professor of Political Science at the Aga Khan University Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations (AKU-ISMC); Dr. Dennis Galava, Faculty Member at the Aga Khan University Graduate School of Media and Communications (AKU-GSMC); and Devyani Nighoskar, Storytelling and Communications Officer at Samuel Hall, for leading such insightful and inspiring sessions.

I would recommend all Kenyans read: 1. Commission on Inquiry on PEV 2. Ransley Report on Police Reforms 3. Kreigler Report on 2007 Elections 4. Ndungu Land Report 5. TJRC Report You will see frightening patterns that are reemerging. If lazy, just read Intro & Recommendations

Security officers from Baragoi Police Station in Samburu, backed by police reservists and local chiefs have recovered 36 goats and 42 sheep stolen earlier. The livestock was found in Naturkan village, about 20 km east of the station. The suspects fled on seeing the officers. The animals were identified and handed over to the owner, Abdirizak Mohamed.

The importance of foreign relations to Kenya became more prominent when Kenya gained independence in 1963. But did you know about the first person tasked to lead the Ministry? #MFAOpenDay2024 #DiplomacyInActionKE

Kenya currently ranks 101 in the Government AI Readiness Index 2023 Report. Simply put, there is no robotics and AI industry to talk of in the country.
