We celebrate the significant role elders play in nurturing responsible societies, preserving cultural heritage, settling disputes, and advancing community development.
I call upon elders across the country to remain steadfast in rejecting divisive politics, ethnic mobilisation and incitement, while inspiring values that uphold a secure, united, and prosperous Kenya.
At the University of Eastern Africa, Baraton, Nandi County, with the Head of Public Service @koske_felix, Governor @Araap_Sang and other leaders, we witnessed the installation of the new Nandi Kaburwo Council of Elders led by Chairman Mzee Augustine Kisorio.
Congratulations, Mzee Kisorio, on your installation and may your tenure be marked by wisdom, integrity, and selfless service. I wish you and your Council success as you assume this crucial responsibility.
Our counties' legislative assemblies are the engines of our people-centred governance and development model.
I will shortly address the Trans Nzoia County Assembly and preside over the official opening of their new committee and wellness centre.
Kenya and the Republic of South Sudan enjoy close diplomatic ties rooted in trade, history, culture and people-to-people relations.
This afternoon, I held a meeting with the South Sudanese Minister of Interior, Hon. Aleu Ayieny Aleu, who paid me a courtesy call.
Our meeting focused on deepening our collaboration on border security and immigration management.
The establishment of the Nairobi Metropolitan Police Unit (NMPU) is now at the homestretch.
This afternoon, I led a team comprising officials from the Ministry of Interior and National Administration and the Nairobi City County Government to State House, Nairobi, where we briefed H.E. President William Ruto on the NMPU's strategic establishment and implementation plan.
H. E the President offered his guidance on how to make the proposed unit more efficient and proactive in meeting the security and safety needs of our metropolis.

Places of worship are sanctuaries, not battlegrounds for political thuggery or Gachagua-sponsored impunity. Every attack on a church is an attack on our Constitution, our freedom of conscience and our collective dignity. @rigathi must be held accountable .
#GachaguaUnmasked
Rigathi Gachagua, even if you want to dominate Murima, please do not go down this path.
Governor Irungu Kang'ata is your brother. Attempting to take his life for public sympathy is barbaric!
You are power-hungry!!
@rigathi , your juvenile political gimmicks are EXPOSED. You orchestrate violence against your own people and colleagues, like in Ol Kalou, just to play the victim and score cheap sympathy. The government is fully aware of your dark history . #LordOfViolence
Congratulations to our Junior Starlets on beating South Africa 3 - 1 to secure a place at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup!
We could not be prouder of your achievement. As you begin the next phase of your preparations to represent our nation on the world stage, we wish you every success.
Be assured that, as Government, we will continue to fully support you every step of the way.
Congratulations once again. Go make Kenya proud!
Joined congregants at AIC Tuturung, Elgeyo Marakwet County, for the Sunday worship service and contribution towards the development of the church's infrastructure.
Present were Governors Wisley Rotich (Elgeyo Marakwet) and Stephen Sang (Nandi), Elgeyo Marakwet Senator William Kisang, MPs Kangogo Bowen (Marakwet West) and Caroline Ngelechei (County), MCAs, among other leaders.
Big congratulations, Emmanuel Wanyonyi on clocking 2:11.83 in the men's 1000m to break a 27-year-old world record at the Monaco Diamond League.
Wanyonyi’s extraordinary feat once again confirms the greatness of our nation and the potential of our youths to achieve whatever they set their eyes on here at home and on the global stage.
Held a consultative meeting with local leaders and security stakeholders at Lolmolok in Suguta, Samburu County, where I announced a raft of measures to weed out the remaining pockets of banditry in the region.
I called upon those who have not surrendered their arms in the county and neighbouring Baringo and Isiolo to do so voluntarily before we go for them.
We will also vet the National Police Reservists in the area and increase their number even as we build roads, security installations and mobile network coverage.
I was accompanied by the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, DIG (APS) Gilbert Masengeli, GSU Commandant Johana Tonui and other senior Government officials.
Joining us were Governor Samburu Jonathan Lelelit, MPs Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West) and Eli Letipila (Samburu North), former Governor Moses Lenolkulal and MCAs led by James Leleruk ( Suguta ward).
Listening to Gachagua today has confirmed our worst fears that he is on a mission to create an atmosphere of fear and siege in the Mt. Kenya region with the sole aim of extorting money from leading businesspeople.
The businesses of those who refuse to yield to his intimidation and blackmail are targeted for looting and destruction by his gangs and goons.
He is the biggest threat to national unity and the economy of our country. His utterances and criminal activities are closely being monitored by our security agencies and we shall do everything to ensure that the people and their properties are protected.
Received a comprehensive brief on the implementation of our universal health coverage programme. I commend the crucial role our telecommunications companies have played and will continue playing in registering citizens into the health financing programme managed by the Social Health Authority (SHA).
I am pleased to note that 32 million Kenyans are already registered with SHA and are accessing healthcare services paid for by Government.
To ensure no one is left behind, we agreed on the implementation of flexible payment methods, including initiatives such as Lipa SHA Pole Pole, in our effort to ensure that all Kenyans register with and make access to healthcare truly universal.
Additionally, we resolved that all telcos will be integrated in the SHA platform and put in place measures that afford citizens a marketplace for alternative funding to bring more Kenyans on board, and at the same make healthcare contributions seamless and affordable to all.
