Como jurista, me quedo con una frase del discurso del @Pontifex_es en el @Congreso_Es que debería enmarcarse en cada parlamento: "Una ley no alcanza su verdadera grandeza por el mero hecho de haber sido formalmente aprobada; la alcanza cuando puede comparecer ante la dignidad de la persona y salir de ese examen sin avergonzarse".

🧵1/ He analizado el discurso del Papa León XIV en Madrid como si fuera el de un político.

El resultado es inquietante.

Porque es, técnicamente, uno de los discursos mejor construidos que han sonado en España en mucho tiempo. 👇

"Kenya, however, is getting a genuine expert. Nairobi is no diplomatic backwater: it is East Africa’s economic engine, a counter-terrorism partner, a hub for American business and a linchpin in Washington’s efforts to counter Chinese and Russian influence on the continent. By choosing a career Foreign Service officer rather than a fundraiser or Fox News commentator, Mr Trump is signalling that he takes the place seriously."

We are aware of the court action filed in Kenya against the Ebola isolation facility. We are in touch with Kenyan authorities and are optimistic we can resolve objections.

🇸🇳La classe politique sénégalaise est jeune, mais mature, tout comme le peuple sénégalais.

Dès la démission de Ousmane Sonko jusqu’à son élection à l’Assemblée nationale, aucun décès n’a été enregistré.

Personne n’a attaqué la tribu de quelqu’un ou celle du président Bassirou Diomaye Faye. Personne n’a promis l’enfer aux autres ou le chaos dans le pays

Surtout, personne n’a pris les armes pour revendiquer quoi que ce soit, et personne n’a attaqué la famille biologique de l’autre.

La guerre est institutionnelle et entre les individus. 👍BRAVO

What happened in the Senate Chamber on 25th March 2026 was not just an embarrassment but a gross violation of the dignity of a child. A young female student who went to Parliament under the School Voluntary Service Scheme to learn was met with inappropriate and degrading remarks from Senator Karen Nyamu.

The Senate must be a SAFE space that affirms the dignity and future of our Children. Article 53(1)(d) of the Constitution guarantees every child the right to be protected from abuse and inhuman treatment. Article 53(2) makes the child's best interests paramount in every matter with no exceptions. Additionally, Section 22(1) of the Children Act 2022 prohibits any person from subjecting a child to psychological abuse which includes acts causing embarrassment and humiliation.

I call upon the Senate to go beyond accepting the theatrical apology and take concrete accountability measures. Senator Karen Nyamu still sought to justify her conduct even while purporting to apologise. An apology that is read and accepted in minutes is NOT justice. If we are serious about protecting the girl child, then our institutions must reflect that seriousness.

“I travel to different countries to do my streams because America makes it look like Africa & other places are suffering. But when I finally visited, I realized it was all L!ES.

In Africa, I saw some of the most beautiful cities, clean environments, happy people, skyscrapers, luxury… EVERYTHING! People are genuinely joyful without pressure.

In China, the technology blew my mind — advanced systems, kind people, crazy innovation.

Now I stream outdoors worldwide because I want the world to see REALITY… every country is beautiful, every culture has greatness. Stop believing the internet — go SEE THE WORLD!”

Arrived in Amsterdam, Netherlands, this morning, where I was welcomed at Schiphol Airport by Hon. Anthony Ngugi Mayo, Deputy Head of Mission (DHM) at the Kenyan Embassy in the Hague.

Later this evening, I was hosted by H.E. Hon. Halima Yussuf Mucheke, Kenya’s Ambassador to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, at her official residence in The Hague. The Ambassador was in the company of DHM, Amb. Mayo.

The European Union (EU) remains one of Kenya’s largest trading partners and a key destination for its horticultural and floricultural products, as well as tea and coffee.

I look forward to engaging with various stakeholders to expand market access for Kenyan products, and thus boosting Kenya’s economy.

Arrived safely in India with the Kenyan delegation to facilitate the repatriation of the body of the late Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga.

We have secured his body and preparations are complete for his return home. The aircraft carrying the body of this great son of Kenya is scheduled to land at JKIA at 9:30 am on Thursday, where he will be received by H.E. President William Ruto and the nation he so dearly loved.

May his journey home unite us in reflection, respect, and shared love for our country. 🇰🇪
