This morning, I conducted an inspection tour of the ongoing construction and upgrading of Balambala Sub-County Hospital in Garissa County.
The 48-bed facility, comprising 20-bed male and female wards and an 8-bed maternity ward, is being upgraded under the supervision of the Ministry of Defence, through the Kenya Defence Forces, whose technical expertise is supporting the implementation of the project.
The Ministry of Defence is working closely with the Ministry of Health and the County Government of Garissa to ensure the project meets the required standards. Currently at 95 per cent completion, the facility is set to be upgraded to a Level 4 hospital upon completion.
Once operational, the hospital will offer essential surgical, inpatient and outpatient services, enhanced diagnostic capabilities, and dedicated maternity and newborn care. This will improve access to quality healthcare for residents of Garissa County and neighbouring areas while easing pressure on other referral facilities in the region.
Today, I officially opened the Regional Space Law Technical Advisory Mission for the African Region at the Luigi Broglio Space Centre in Malindi, Kilifi County.
The four-day mission, organised in partnership with the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and the Italian Space Agency, brings together legal, policy and regulatory experts from 16 African countries to strengthen space governance and regulatory frameworks across the continent.
The platform provides an opportunity for participating countries to exchange experiences, build institutional capacity and explore approaches to developing national space laws and policies that support responsible, safe and sustainable space activities. As space technology advances, sound legal and regulatory frameworks are increasingly important in unlocking opportunities in research, innovation, investment and the wider space economy.
Kenya continues to strengthen its national space governance framework through the development of the Draft Kenya Space Bill and the Draft Kenya Space Policy, alongside investments in expertise and strategic partnerships. Through the Kenya Space Agency, we remain committed to working with regional and international partners to advance responsible space activities and strengthen Africa’s participation in global space governance.
The opening ceremony was attended by the Italian Ambassador to Kenya, H.E. Vincenzo Del Monaco; Director General of the Kenya Space Agency, Maj. Gen. Hillary B. Kipkosgey; Lady Justice Mugure Thande; and delegates from the various countries.
Also visited the ongoing construction of Kisii Stadium to assess the progress of works, which currently stands at 16% complete. Work is steadily taking shape, with formwork and construction of the terraces expected to be completed by December.
The Ministry of Defence, through the Kenya Defence Forces, continues to provide technical oversight of the project in close collaboration with the Ministry of Sports, ensuring that construction progresses as planned and executed to the specified standards.
Bomet Stadium is about 20% progress. Most of the foundation pillars are complete. Terrace erection starts shortly. We are working with completing it by end of this year as directed by H.E the President William Samoei Ruto.

Kama huwezi set aside a weekend or two in a month to be with me, what's the point of us being in a relationship. Hakuna hata connection iko hapo, hatuwezi kuwa hapo doing calls and the texting kama watu wa customer care. Looks like a waste of time and money.
‘I love you but I love him too. Give me some time to decide. For the mean time I’ll be spending time with both of you. I’m praying for the Holy Spirit to guide me. You’re more caring than him but there’s something about him I can’t place my finger on that draws me to him’🙏🏾😂
