2020 Decade: Complete Takeover n Consolidating My Place in the Continent n World

[William Samoei Ruto, PhD @WilliamsRuto]

We urge Finnish, and by extension European, companies to view Kenya not through outdated narratives of risk, but through the reality of our immense potential and the vast opportunities our nation offers.

Kenya’s youthful and innovative entrepreneurs have built a culture of solving real-world challenges with practical, affordable and scalable solutions. The success of M-Pesa stands as a testament to this spirit of innovation and our capacity to develop transformative technologies with global relevance.

[William Samoei Ruto, PhD @WilliamsRuto]

Honoured to participate in the Kultaranta Talks alongside President Alexander Stubb and other distinguished leaders, policymakers and experts to discuss the profound transformations reshaping our world.

As power becomes more dispersed, technology advances at unprecedented speed and the world grows increasingly multipolar, the need for stronger multilateralism, more representative global governance and a reformed international financial architecture has never been greater.

[Alexander Stubb @alexstubb]

We opened the Kultaranta Talks with President @WilliamSRuto of Kenya.

The partnership between Europe and Africa in international diplomacy and the economy benefits both sides.

Thank you for an insightful discussion.

[Alexander Stubb @alexstubb]

Tack för ert statsbesök till Finland, Kenyas president @WilliamsRuto och fru Rachel Ruto.

[Alexander Stubb @alexstubb]

Thank you to the guests and everyone who followed this year's Kultaranta Talks.

Finland, Europe, and the world are still not ready. Foreign policy is in constant flux. That is why we need discussions like these and moments to pause and reflect. They help us see the bigger picture beyond the noise.

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.

You literally have to decide that your peace is more important than their perception. The next time someone misreads your boundary as coldness, you have to let the misread stand without chasing them down to offer an explanation. Let them be wrong.

[Alexander Stubb @alexstubb]

Together with President @WilliamsRuto of Kenya, I took part in a panel discussion on the United Nations and mediation.

President Ruto and I share a vision of a stronger United Nations, with decision-making that reflects the realities of today’s world.

It is clear that the African continent must have a stronger voice – starting with two permanent seats on the Security Council.

[Alexander Stubb @alexstubb]

Tillsammans med Kenyas president @WilliamsRuto deltog vi i en paneldiskussion om FN och fredsmedling.

Tillsammans med president Pro delar vi visionen om att FN bör vara starkare och att dess beslutsfattande bör återspegla dagens verklighet.

Det är helt klart att den afrikanska kontinenten måste få en starkare röst, med början i två permanenta platser i säkerhetsrådet.

No. Please, no. Matiang'i failed children to block them from entering university. He was so vicious about it, he even wanted to cancel people's degrees if they had entered university based on diplomas. He imposed CBC even when we said that the new system will make children fall off a cliff at junior secondary and that the country was too broke to afford reform. And our projection came to pass.

It amazes me how confident politicians are that we won't remember anything. Our memory as Kenyans is criminally short. And shame on @KTNNewsKE . How hard is it for you to pull out the record? We're talking about less than 10 years ago.
