The UK & Kenya are in a hurry to get stuff done and deliver the new Kenya-UK Strategic Partnership.
What better way to start 2026 than a run in Karura Forest with @MMakoloo, Kenya’s in-coming High Commissioner to the UK.

At least eight people have died and dozens injured as anti-government protests have flared up in Kenya.
The demonstrations mark one year since large protests that left at least 60 people dead, in response to planned tax hikes and rising cost of living.
President William Ruto, who is not currently in the Kenyan capital, called on protesters to not destroy the country.
Police forces must command the trust & confidence of those they are duty-bound to serve & protect.
We are deeply disturbed by violence against unarmed civilians & protestors yesterday. We urge a swift, independent & transparent investigation into the actions of the police.
Today met former CJ @dkmaraga. We shared our concern about yesterdays violence against civilians/ protesters. Talked about his important report on police reform. And the general political trends in the region. Asante sana kwa mkutano mzuri!
1 year ago, we lost him.
Joshua Cheruiyot Kirui died while on a daring mission to reach the summit of Mt Everest without supplementary oxygen.
He slid and fell into a crevasse 48 meters near the summit.
May he continue resting in peace.
Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.
Urgent update: It’s now day 2 that Suluhu still has our friends, and comrades @bonifacemwangi and @AAgather detained in the hands of her terroristic police department.
Fake news is flying that Boniface and Agather have been deported. They have not. They are not on any flight (fully confirmed with airlines) although claims are that they were escorted to the airport to be deported home hours ago.
We have no confirmation of where they are or where they were escorted to, and they’ve not been deported. We demand immediate information as to there whereabouts and their safe return home! It has been two days! No crimes were committed! Where are they?!?!?!
