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.

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
On the occasion of the Africa Forward Summit, our beloved Capital City is hosting Heads of State, business leaders, and policy makers to foster an equal, honest and productive partnership between France and African countries.
This is a defining moment for countries connected by a shared history and facing together shared economic challenges.
The tangibles will be to deliver jobs for the youth, especially in the field of A.I and of green economy.
On this special occasion, let me give to all international delegates attending the Africa Forward Summit a heartfelt welcome to Nairobi ! Our people are proud to host you and to lead the conversation that moves Africa from third to first world. Our continent is ready, Kenya is ready and Nairobi is ready!
Let’s move Africa Forward! Karibu Kanairo.
President Emmanuel Macron: Thank you for your warm welcome. I am pleased to come back to Nairobi seven years after my first official trip to your country, and it was the first visit ever of a French president, which was crazy to imagine. The past seven years have been a journey. We did a lot together, and we increased our relationships from a bilateral point of view
Beaucoup d'enthousiasme alors que j'arrive au Kenya, à la veille du sommet Africa Forward. Le sommet d'un partenariat renouvelé et gagnant-gagnant. À Nairobi, donnons-lui toute sa force ! Nous avons tant à faire ensemble.
The upcoming #AfricaForward Summit is not only the first of its kind in an Anglophone country, its new format will focus on economic issues, entrepreneurship and youth 🌍📈🧑🏾💻👩🏿💻

Day -1 before the #AfricaForward2026 Summit ⏳ 🇰🇪
So thrilled that #Nairobi will host 50 countries in a defining moment strengthening an « equal and productive partnership » with France 🇫🇷
Today in Cannes, I crossed the path of a French brand importing coffee from #Kenya
That they named it #Kitale was my God sign and a reminder that you can leave Kenya but Kenya never leaves you, and the thought of it may shine in your heart until your come back 🇰🇪❤️
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
I always had an inclination for the timeless elegance of black and white photography and since my arrival in #Kenya I took the opportunity of editing some of my pic in a silver print mode. My pic of the year 2022 was taken in #Starehe#Nairobi during the general elections
