During a meeting with President of Kenya @WilliamsRuto, we discussed the development of high-tech cooperation across various sectors: investment attraction, agriculture, and education. We are ready to share our experience with Kenya and implement joint projects. We agreed that our teams will work out the details of possible cooperation.
I thank Kenya for supporting Ukraine’s resolutions in the United Nations General Assembly. We also paid special attention to cooperation within international organizations.
Glad to have met President William Ruto of Kenya.
India and Kenya share a longstanding partnership anchored in the aspirations of the Global South. We remain committed to working together for the well-being of our people.

Life happened, I'm back tho.
I couldn't agree more. The looting in our counties is absolutely unprecedented, To make matters worse, most refuse to declare their assets, and we now know they go as far as stashing millions in personal home safes—just like the Nairobi county official who was arrested recently.
The governor earns Ksh 990,000 a month, gets a Ksh 10M car loan at 3%, and full medical cover for her whole family. But you’re worried about her flight path? She’s not wasting money—she’s just living within the budget you pay for. The chopper isn't the excess. Your shock at it is.
The distance between Homa Bay and Kisumu is about 100 kilometres, but whenever my governor-Gladys Wanga wants to travel to Kisumu, a chopper from Nairobi picks her up, flies her there and back, then returns to Nairobi. Using a Nairobi-based chopper for a 100km trip is excessive. How much do our governors earn?
@IkeOjuku Long time, my friend. There’s a lot of unnecessary wastage among these governors—Homabay is no exception, but Baringo is even worse. We have an absent governor and a dysfunctional assembly.
China just scrapped over twelve thousand university degree programs almost overnight. 😳 More than thirty percent of all degree courses across the country have been cut or merged as universities race to prepare students for an AI driven economy. Subjects like photography, translation, fashion design and visual arts are being phased out at top schools including the Communication University of China and the Central Academy of Fine Arts.
University leaders say technology has already made many of these careers obsolete since anyone with a smartphone can now shoot photos or translate text instantly using AI. 🤖 In their place students are being pushed toward robotics, semiconductors, intelligent engineering and AI driven creative fields. For millions of young graduates entering a tightening job market this year, the message is clear, the skills that mattered yesterday may not matter tomorrow.

The Kenyan government is reportedly set to contribute approximately $1.3 billion, with the balance financed by Chinese and local banks. However, the road to this point is paved with the wreckage of a previous deal: the contract was initially awarded to India's Adani Group for $1.85 billion in 2024 before being canceled amidst fierce opposition from labor unions and a corruption investigation in the United States. After the tender was re-advertised, it was granted to a consortium led by Chinese state-owned giants China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) and China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC), with Chivayo's firm brought in as a local partner.
.@StandardKenya is reporting a saga that reads more like a political thriller than a business deal, a flamboyant and deeply controversial Zimbabwean businessman has landed a multi-billion dollar stake in one of Africa’s most ambitious aviation overhauls, in a story woven with canceled contracts, international intrigue, and allegations of high-level corruption.
The central figure is Wicknell Chivayo, a 45-year-old Zimbabwean entrepreneur known as much for his astonishing personal philanthropy—he reportedly donated over $200 million in 2025 alone—as he is for his decades-long entanglement with legal scandals. His past includes a fraud conviction that landed him in Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison. Yet, despite this history, his company, IMC Construction Kenya, has reportedly secured a stake in a consortium tasked with a **$2.9 billion expansion of Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA)**, East Africa's busiest aviation hub.
The project itself is a massive undertaking. The plan involves constructing a new passenger terminal to handle an additional 15 million travelers annually, alongside a second runway expected to boost aircraft movement capacity from 14 to 63 per hour.
