After 3 years my journey as political counselor of @franceinKenya 🇫🇷🇰🇪came to an end last week and I am grateful for crossing the path of inspiring political leaders sharing with us analysis and guidance. @MusaliaMudavadi @HonAmasonKingi @skmusyoka A thread ⤵️
« Notre devoir d’institution n’est plus seulement de former des étudiants à comprendre leur temps pour agir sur le monde, mais plus encore de leur donner les moyens intellectuels de comprendre le monde pour agir sur leur temps »
Quelques réflexions sur la puissance et les dilemmes intellectuels auxquels elle nous confronte, à lire dans le @Grand_Continent.

This is what a productive and win-win partnership means 🇫🇷🙏🏼🇰🇪
Prime CS Musalia Mudavadi: Tonight, the moment President Macron landed, we went straight to State House and had bilateral engagements with France. We have signed 11 instruments, all critical, and in total, it comes to over 1 billion USD worth of programs and commitments. We are signing off so that we can modernize our commuter rail system, especially line 5, expanding it so that it can go to Embakasi and into Ruiru. We are also working with the UK so that we can modernize Nairobi Railway City. Once this program is complete, with the line going up to Thika, we should be able to evacuate up to 30,000 people per hour #CitizenSundayLive

In solidarity with all my Kenyan friends -and a special thought for the people of Kibra, and for the people of Siaya County- who mourn the passing of Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga
May He be remembered as a fighter for freedom and democracy

An evidence that #Kenyan and #French people are alike : expecting the restoration of a Welfare State despite a challenging economic landscape and reduced margins of intervention for their government
According to an Infotrak survey released on October 11, 2024, only 11% of Kenyans believe the country is heading in the right direction.

That may be a significant move to foster equity and a remarkable first step in reforming the international financial architecture as requested by PR @EmmanuelMacron and PR @WilliamsRuto
#IMF #kenya
The head of the IMF said she’s “cautiously optimistic” the institution’s board this week will revise its policy on so-called loan surcharges, the billions of dollars in extra fees some struggling nations must pay when borrowing from the fund. trib.al/q9GtRhP
A specificity of contemporary art is that very often the process of creation by intermixing different medium and technics is more interesting than the final result.
Saying so, I can’t wait to discover Heemin Chung s work and her attempt to mirror chaos
Korean artist Heemin Chung makes her debut with Thaddaeus Ropac in London with sensorial, dimensional paintings. bit.ly/3ZXWmfI

Deeply convinced that the #AsphaltArt initiative led by @BloombergDotOrg is a great tool to engage street artists while creating a vibrant public space. Applied to #Nairobi , it would foster art tourism and give jobs to #kenyan creatives⚡️🪐
How can art help to foster solutions for cities?
@Davidjandersson from our Arts team recently joined the Urbanistica Podcast to discuss how our #AsphaltArt Initiative is helping cities in Europe and North America to improve street safety and revitalize public spaces: asphaltart.bloomberg.org/

I express my closeness to the people of Nyeri affected by the tragic fire of Hillside Endarasha Academy. As a mother, I stand in unity with those mourning a child as it is the cruelest pain one may go through. Let us ask to be able to pray for one another 🕊️

A very sad illustration that the fight against #GBV must go on ✊🏼
In #Kenya , Tirop’s Angels Trust is supporting female athletes to prevent another tragedy as the one experienced by Rebecca Cheptegei and Agnes Tirop. You can visit their website
