18 counties have been identified requiring priority preparedness and response measures because of their exposure to flooding, landslides, drought, food insecurity, disease outbreaks and other possible El Nino related impacts.
The national risk assessment, prepared by the National Disaster Operations Centre @NDOCKenya, places counties in the Coastal, Lake Basin, Rift Valley and North Eastern regions among the areas facing the highest level of vulnerability.
Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu have also been singled out as high-risk urban centres.
Lessons are learnt everyday and as part of that process, we are ensuring that this time round, the youth have a meaningful voice in the National Conversation Beyond 2030 on matters security.
Nations that prosper have a clear vision of where they want to go and carry everyone along.
At KICC, Nairobi, we joined H.E. President William Ruto as he ushered the nation into the New National Development Journey Conversation, Beyond Vision 2030.
We congratulate the President on the unveiling of this bold conversation, which will culminate in a development blueprint that will firmly place Kenya on the path to a high-income status.
As a Ministry, we welcome the President’s call for a people-driven conversation and stand ready to support engagements in all corners of our country to ensure everyone's voice is captured.
Our past has taught us that Kenya's story has never been written by a few, but by generations of citizens who dared to believe that tomorrow could be better than today.
From the struggles of those who came before us to the progress we have made as a nation, we carry both the lessons of our history and the hopes of those who will come after us.
The National Conversation: Beyond 2030 is an opportunity to pause and ask ourselves a fundamental question: What kind of Kenya do we want to build for posterity?
It is a conversation about more than targets, policies and plans. It is about the hopes of a young Kenyan looking for an opportunity, the dreams of a mother who wants her children to live a better life, the farmer seeking a dignified livelihood and every citizen who believes that this country can do more and be more.
Beyond 2030, we aspire to a Kenya where opportunity is not determined by where one is born; where every child can access quality education and healthcare; where hard work is rewarded, enterprise is encouraged and every region has a chance to prosper.
The Kenya we envision must be more united, more prosperous and more just. A nation confident in its possibilities and committed to ensuring that every Kenyan has a stake in its progress.
Our greatest responsibility is not simply to imagine that future, but to build it together. For the Kenya we dream of tomorrow will be shaped by the choices we make today.
Led by H.E. President William Ruto, we joined fellow Kenyans at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), Nairobi, as we commenced the National Conversation: Beyond 2030.
The ideas must come from Kenyans from all walks of life - young people, workers, young professionals, business, religious communities and civil society, among others. Everyone has a contribution to make.
This conversation does not begin from scratch. The foundation has already been laid by our Constitution. It not only speaks to democracy, freedom, the rule of law and strong institutions, but it also guarantees the highest attainable standard of healthcare, education, housing, food, water, social security and human dignity.
Currently, 58 political leaders are being monitored with investigations ongoing before cases are referred for prosecution.
18 of the 58 cases have progressed to the @ODPP_KE.
Social media monitoring is being strengthened, with collaboration involving the Communications Authority of Kenya @CA_Kenya and digital platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, X, WhatsApp, Telegram and TikTok to address hate speech shared through online platforms and live broadcasts.
Efforts to curb repeated hate speech will involve preventing habitual offenders from vying for political office.
The approach will also include naming and shaming repeat offenders, alongside an Amani Conference where political parties and candidates will sign a Political Decency Charter.
NCIC is working with @ORPPKenya, @IEBCKenya, @ODPP_KE and other stakeholders to strengthen a multi-agency approach in addressing hate speech and promoting political hygiene ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Ahead of the 2027 General Election, @NCIC_Kenya is strengthening peacebuilding and conflict-prevention efforts through monthly hotspot mapping to identify areas at risk of violence and support early response.
With the countdown until the next General Election underway, what lessons has the National Commission and Integration Commission @NCIC_Kenya learnt from previous elections in tackling hate speech, and what will it do differently to ensure the 2027 election is different?
We have joined H.E President William Ruto and other leaders for a meeting of the Joint Broadbased Coalition Parliamentary Group in Naivasha, Nakuru County.
A sports pitch gives our young people a positive alternative to a life of crime, drugs and gangs.
This is why Kenya’s 🇰🇪 investment in sports infrastructure is also an investment in safer communities, to ensure that the next Victor Wanyama in Muthurwa, Dennis Oliech in Dagoretti or Ferdinand Omanyala in Huruma has access to facilities and an equal opportunity to succeed.
