@AbdulahiAdan10 For Critics.
A speech is judged not by its words, but by what follows. If Aug. 12 launches a genuinely inclusive, transparent,& action-driven process, this speech will be forgiven.
If it is just another talk-shop, the critics will be proven right, and history will not be kind.
The speech was long on aspiration and short on detail.
But aspiration is not useless it becomes useless only if it is not followed by concrete action, accountability, and genuine participation.
President Ruto: We have secured the foundation of democracy. Let us now secure the foundations of our prosperity. When we achieve both, we will have fulfilled not only the letter and the spirit of our Constitution, but also its highest purpose
Vision 2030 set an ambitious goal of transforming Kenya into an upper-middle-income country by 2030.
While we have not yet fully achieved that target, this should not be seen as a failure of Vision 2030 or a cause for disappointment.
Instead, it is an opportunity to celebrate the progress we have made, honestly assess where we have fallen short, learn from our experiences, and, together as a nation, chart Kenya's next long-term development vision for future generations.
@KenyaDoha As labour migration grows the focus must extend beyond numbers toward worker protection, ethical recruitment (Agencies and brockers), and transparent oversight that ensure talent is empowered, not exploited.
@FauzKhalid It's an annoying circumstance.
In business, events, & innovation, particularly in competitive local scenes, it is not uncommon for great ideas to be appropriated and rebranded by connected players.
I'm sorry you have to deal with this. It's a good idea to have lawyers involved.
Pakistan's recent role as a key mediator in U.S.-Iran tensions marks a significant shift in its geopolitical standing. Through intensive diplomatic efforts, Islamabad has successfully positioned itself as an indispensable bridge between the two adversarial nations.
The High Court has ordered Safaricom and DTB to pay a customer Ksh. 4.42 million that was fraudulently withdrawn from her bank account following a SIM swap fraud. The customer reported the unauthorized SIM swap to Safaricom immediately, but before the issue was resolved, fraudsters accessed her DTB mobile banking account and transferred Ksh. 4,418,601 through a series of unauthorized transactions.
Both Safaricom and DTB appealed after the lower court found them jointly liable, with each arguing that the other was solely responsible for the loss. The High Court dismissed both appeals, holding that each organization owed its own independent duty of care to the customer and could not escape liability by shifting blame to the other.
The Court found that Safaricom failed to adequately prevent and respond to the unauthorized SIM swap, while DTB failed to detect and stop suspicious high-value transactions despite obvious red flags. It upheld the lower court's decision, ordering Safaricom to bear 60% of the loss and DTB 40%, reaffirming that organizations handling personal data and digital financial services must take proactive steps to protect customers from fraud.
