If you’re easily incited to hate on fellow Africans, you also can be easily turned against your own neighbors, communities and tribes.
Politics of division doesn’t start and end with tribalism.
The ladies who always shave their eyebrows and paint them black are now castigating Mwalimu Wilson Sossion for doing the same thing on his head. Acheni Mwalimu akae bana.
More than 40 years ago, I arrived in Chicago in search of an idea. I was a young man looking for purpose, who believed deeply in America, was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, and wanted to be a part of something larger. The America I believed in was one where everyone has opportunity, everyone is seen, everyone belongs—because that was an America that had a place for me, too.
It was a pleasure to address the @UNODC Group of Friends of Gender and to speak on the issue of online violence and the non-consensual sharing of intimate images.
This is a matter of profound concern as technology makes it easier to create and circulate this kind of material online, with women particularly vulnerable and deliberately targeted.
We must strengthen our responses to this type of harm, by implementing laws and international instruments, including the recently adopted @UN Convention against Cybercrime, working closer with the private sector and technology companies and building a whole-of-society response.
UNODC is uniquely positioned to support these efforts through our cross-cutting thematic expertise and our experience working across the full criminal justice chain.
Together, we can create digital spaces that are safer, fairer and anchored in human dignity.
I am grateful to Ambassador Cynthia Chidiac of Lebanon and Ambassador María Sebastián de Erice of Spain, the Co-Chairs of the Group of Friends for their leadership on this cause, and for convening today’s event. Thank you.
Today, I had the honour of taking my oath of office before @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres as Director-General of the United Nations Office at Vienna and Executive Director of @UNODC.
In taking this oath, I am reminded that international civil service is, above all, a commitment to people. As I solemnly declared my dedication to carry out these functions with integrity, impartiality, and the utmost regard for the purposes and principles of the United Nations, I reflected on the responsibility that comes with this trust.
I step into this role with humility, gratitude and a profound sense of duty, and look forward to working with colleagues and partners across the UN system, and the world to advance peace, security, justice and the rule of law, for a more prosperous and dignified future for all.
@Donsarigo Your investigative series on these school fire incidents on Casefiles, were exceptionally well researched & presented. Valuable insights on matters concerning children in conflict with the law.
Members of the National Assembly and Senators, it is your duty and role to stop President William Ruto from making Kenya an Ebola containment Island. For once, do your work and save Kenyans.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has just made a massive ruling on YOUR pension money.
Attorney General Dorcas Oduor and 3 others LOST the case while defending the government’s position.
For years, the government treated pension money deducted from workers’ salaries as if it were public money.
That is why pension schemes faced endless bureaucracy, procurement rules, delays, and costly approvals before investing your savings.
The Association of Retirement Benefits Schemes challenged this in court.
They lost in the High Court.
Lost again in the Court of Appeal.
But on 15th May 2026, the Supreme Court finally ruled in their favour.
The court declared that pension schemes sponsored by public entities and state corporations are PRIVATE TRUSTS, not government money.
Meaning?
Your pension is YOUR money.
Not the government’s.
Trustees can now invest faster, avoid unnecessary procurement bureaucracy, and potentially grow retirement savings better for millions of Kenyans.
This is one of the biggest financial rulings most wananchi have never heard about.
Fuel is the backbone of movement, trade and access to services which keeps our economy active and fluid. When its price spikes, the effect is immediate. Transport costs rise. Food prices follow. Small businesses struggle to stay afloat. Essential services become harder to access.
For ordinary Kenyans, this will be the daily reality of choosing between mobility, food and basic needs.
The ongoing strike by the motorists’ association is a warning signal of the fragility of our economic stability amid high fuel costs. The nationwide transport strike is likely to disrupt supply chains, stall economic activity and paralyse urban and rural mobility alike.
Workers are unable to reach their jobs. Goods will fail to reach markets. Emergency and essential services would face delays.
The combined effect of high fuel prices and a transport shutdown risks pushing already strained households and businesses to the brink. This is how economic pressure quickly becomes a social crisis.
I urge the Government to engage urgently and meaningfully with stakeholders in the transport and energy sectors. We need sustainable, transparent and accountable interventions that stabilise fuel prices and protect livelihoods.
Failure to act will expose millions of Kenyans to deepening economic hardship and reduced access to essential services.

The instant NTSA fine is a clear criminal enterprise. There are no signs of the speed limits, no posters of the camera zones. The idea speed limits are to ensure public safety hence the necessity for marking. It is not intended for collection of fines. Secondly the imposition of fines is a judicial function and those must be paid into the consolidated fund, not an amorphous bank account. And who charges interest on unpaid fines!!!
