OFFICIAL DECLARATION: MY BID FOR MCA, EASTLEIGH NORTH WARD β 2027.
After consultation with family, friends, and voters of Eastleigh North. It's with immense pleasure that I announce and declare my bid for the position of MCA Eastleigh North come 2027 inshaAllah.
Eastleigh North is a vibrant business hub with hardworking families, traders, and youth. Yet it continues to face serious challenges that need urgent and practical solutions. From
poor drainage and sewerage systems that are causing flooding and health risks to unfair harassment of small traders by enforcement officers, congestion, and poor waste management, among many other issues.
With my candidature, i am presenting to you a leadership that is committed to being accessible, accountable, and dedicated to solving your plights. This is not about promises. it is about action, transparency, and putting the interest of Eastleigh North first.I humbly seek your support, prayers, and wise counsel as we begin this journey. Let us build a prosperous Eastleigh North together. #KeinanNaKazi
I am deeply disappointed by the news that Omar Artan, Africaβs finest referee and one of the best in the world, may be unable to officiate at the FIFA World Cup due to visa-related circumstances.
Omar has earned his place through talent, hard work, professionalism, and integrity. Having officiated at the highest levels of African and international football, his credentials speak for themselves.
He represents not only Somalia, but also the aspirations of millions of young Africans who believe excellence should be recognized on the world stage.
I remain hopeful that a solution can be found. Football is at its best when it brings people together and celebrates merit, inclusion, and opportunity.
Omar, Africa and the world stand with you.
@ASHAKURHUSSEIN π Happy Birthday to my dear friend. Wishing you good health, happiness, success, and endless blessings in the year ahead. May Allah grant you a long and prosperous life. Enjoy your special day, brother! ππ #HappyBirthday#BlessedYearAhead ππ
We say ALHAMD LILLAH for another Special Day, another year, in this world.
Started the day off in a very TRADITIONAL way. Great vibes over good coffee.
Did you know that every good coffee blend has something #KENYAN π°πͺ about it!
As we prepare to welcome Eid tomorrow, may Allah accept our prayers, sacrifices and good deeds.
May this blessed day bring peace, unity, happiness and barakah to our families, communities and nations.
Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating. π€π
Life's path is not that linear, though. Just to tell you that I am friends with a guy who started off life in a single room, on the outskirts of Nairobi, cooking in the same room using a kerosene-powered stove, and who has grown to be a BILLIONAIRE in Kenya Shillings.
Legit business. Halal money.
So, let people live and walk their own steps ππΏ
Honored to meet Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.
I invited him and a group of business investors to Kenya-and theyβve accepted.
Looking forward to welcoming them soon, In Sha Allah.
ONE KENYA. ONE NATION. ONE PEOPLE.
Today, I travelled to Ukambani countrysides (Vota, Machakos) to join the family and friends of Dr. Sam Kona and Hon. Veronica Mueni Nduva @SGNduva, in a richly traditional and beautiful Dowry Luncheon for their son Jeremy and his beautiful bride, Joan, at their home in Vota, #Machakos.
It was truly a great ceremony that brought together diverse cultural vibes from all corners of Kenya under one roof - The Kona family from Baragoi-Turkana sides, Veronica's backyard of Ukambani, the Melly family of Kericho/Nakuru (Bride's family), special prayers from Western Kenya (Pastor Walter Ojiambo, Presiding Pastor), Somali vibes from Nairobi, special salaams from Coastal lands, and many more incredible stories and faces from the breadth and length of this great country, Kenya.
We are truly a united nation of ONE PEOPLE, through our different cultures and traditions.
It was also a good opportunity for me to reconnect with good friends, including my brothers, Hon. Justice Issac Lenaola, Judge of the Supreme Court of Kenya - Chairman of the Dowry Committee, representing the Kona Family, and Saitoti Ole Maika, immediate former Director-General of the Financial Reporting Centre (FRC), the able Master of Ceremony.
I was honoured to be in such a great company.
Thank you to my Fam, the Konas!
Blessings to Jey and Joan. ππΏππΏππΏ
My brother Abdishakur @ASHAKURHUSSEIN ,Director EAC Directorate at MFDA, thank you for hosting me for a wonderful working lunch this afternoon. I profoundly enjoyed exchanging notes with you on a number of issues especially regarding our region. As always,I benefitted from the immense depth of your rich diplomatic experience and strategic insights. You are a gem! @ForeignOfficeKE
Earlier this afternoon, I had the pleasure of hosting my colleague and good friend, Ambassador Isaac Njenga @Amb_IsaacNjenga, our immediate former High Commissioner to the United Republic of #Tanzania πΉπΏ, for a de-brief aka 'Downloading' session around a working lunch.
Balozi Isaac had an incredibly successful tour of duty in Dar-Es-Salaam, where he not only looked after the all-important #Kenya π°πͺ - #Tanzania πΉπΏ bilateral file, but he also was responsible for driving Kenya's regional integration agenda within the East African Community @jumuiya.
I wish my good friend all the very best in his current new tasks, and all the future endeavors that lie ahead. ππΏ
Karibu sana #Nairobi, my friend.

The Festival of Breaking the Fast, Idd-ul-Fitr, crowns a month of devotion, sacrifice and spiritual reflection for Muslims across the world. It marks the end of the sacred Ramadan fast observed from dawn to dusk.
As we conclude the fast today, may our temptations, trials and tribulations also come to an end, giving way to renewed strength, peace and blessings.
Happy Idd-ul-Fitr!
The establishment of the National Infrastructure Fund fulfills a commitment made years earlier to create a financing mechanism capitalized through privatization proceeds, with the aim of gradually reducing reliance on the national budget for commercially viable infrastructure projects.
The privatization of the Kenya Pipeline Company will raise KSh 106 billion, providing the seed capital for the Fund and marking the realization of that vision.
What once appeared as an ambitious proposal has now taken concrete shape, laying the foundation for a new model of financing Kenya's infrastructure development.

PUBLIC ENDORSEMENT AND CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE.
Congratulations to my friend and brother, Ahmed Farah @AhmedFarah__ on his appointment as Executive Director, East African Business Council.
What a choice of a LEADER by the East African Business Council @EABCjumuiya ππΏππΏππΏ.
Fewer people understand the East African business terrain like Ahmed does.
At a time of volatility in the international trading ecosystem, the region will benefit more from Ahmed's leadership and insights.
From our days at KU @KenyattaUni, when Ahmed joined us as a young freshman in the School of Commerce/Business/Economics, to date, I have known a man with a drive beyond the usual call.
As a Regional Integration Policy practioner and advisor, I ENDORESE this appointment π―.
