Indonesia is the worlds 16th largest economy. It is also the largest producer of Nickel in the world accounting for 68% of global production. Indonesia's economy has balooned because they banned exports of raw nickel. Gen. Luhut Pandatyian who was my counterpart Minister for Investment was the architect of this policy. I visited Indonesia severally and borrowed a lot from this model. Nearer home, President Museveni has banned export of unprocessed raw materials. When i intervened to have exemption for the Devki steel plant in Samburu Kwale to get iron ore from Uganda, President Museveni gave a deadline for Devki to set up in Uganda. They have since done so. We will not take off if we keep on playing politics with our industrialisation policy. I fully support the government decision on Tata Chemicals and Magadi Soda. If we do not do things differently Uganda, Ethiopia, DRC and Tanzania will overtake Kenya's economy in the next 5 years. So far our economy has survived on what is above the surface. To move forward we must move our focus to what is below the surface.
The DCI’s preliminary findings on student involvement in the fatal fire at Utumishi Girls reveal a painful reality. Arson is a serious offense under Kenyan law, notwithstanding the offender’s minority. An undeniable reality parents and guardians of the offenders must confront.
France has lost a lot of its relevance and influence in West Africa in recent years. Now it's trying to rebrand itself during a summit with African heads of states in Kenya.

As I contested against Tom Ojienda at the JSC election and defeated him in 2019 I never acknowledged him as a ‘ Professor’ for I understood his character. Same way I don’t acknowledge Ruto’s ‘PHD’.
EVENTS LEADING TO RAPHAEL TUJU’S DISAPPEARANCE
Former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju has been reported missing in what is now raising serious concern among family and close associates.
According to details emerging, Tuju filed a report at Karen Police Station on Saturday, March 21, 2026, stating that he had been followed on Friday by a white Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series that had no number plates. The report was booked under OB 21/21/03/2026.
Later, Tuju was expected to appear on Ramogi FM at around 7pm on Saturday evening, but he never made it on air.
His family says he has not been seen since Saturday afternoon, and his phone has remained switched off.
The matter took a more alarming turn on Sunday morning, when Mano Tuju, his son, received a call from the OCS at Karen Police Station while in church, informing him that Raphael Tuju’s car had been found abandoned on Miotoni Lane in Karen, Nairobi.
Following that discovery, a missing person report was filed at Karen Police Station under OB 17/22/03/2026.
The sequence of events is now likely to intensify questions over the circumstances under which the former Cabinet Secretary disappeared.
Huyu Rigathi Gachagua huwa msee mjinga sana. He is even against demolition of stalls along road reserves saying ni tribe moja inakuwa attacked. What a fool yaani
Prof Anyang' Nyong'o: ODM was formed on the conviction that while ethnicity is an objective reality, it must not become a political destiny. Nationalism is not the denial of ethnicity but its subordination to constitutionalism. The state belongs equally to all citizens, not to whichever ethnic coalition temporarily captures the presidency.

I led the Team of lawyers that defended Hon Gov George Natembeya against the illegal charges he faced in court.I stopped appearing in courts many years back having chosen public and Corporate law route but I came out of ‘retirement’ to defend an innocent Man whose only crime was not aligning with powerful Government forces. As we approach 2027 general elections,investigative and prosecutorial agencies MUST desist from being used by the executive in partisan politics.Power is transient @GeorgeNatembeya
I'm happy to hear “Rero ni Rero” song by Daniel Musindi, a campaign song I helped coin being used in the split ODM rallies in Kakamega and Siaya respectively!
When I told Baba about this hit way before we used it at the Kasarani delegates conference he had a, deeply satisfying building smile on his face.
Baba died too soon.
