In the spirit of regional grid interconnection, enhanced energy mix, and strategic horizon thinking (including energy security), Kenya should consider (quickly) investing in an industrial-scale nuclear power plant beyond obvious baseload options. @KibiasKipkemoi

The Julius Nyerere Hydropower Project in Tanzania 🇹🇿 has officially opened, with President Samia Suluhu Hassan and Egyptian 🇪🇬 Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly attending the inauguration.

Built by Egypt’s Arab Contractors and Elsewedy Electric, the facility has nine turbines, each producing 235 MW, for a total capacity of 2,115 MW.

Its 131-metre-high dam creates a reservoir holding about 34 billion cubic metres of water.

The project is Tanzania’s largest single power source and one of Africa’s major hydropower facilities.

The Northern Corridor is a strategic economic artery for East and Central Africa, connecting the Port of Mombasa to centers of production and consumption across Kenya, Uganda, and the wider regional hinterland. Its performance has a direct bearing on the movement of goods and people, access to markets, logistics efficiency, the cost of trade, and the competitiveness of economies that depend on this route.

The Government is advancing the development of this corridor within a broader integrated transport and logistics framework that strengthens our maritime gateways and the infrastructure carrying trade into the hinterland. Plans to expand and modernize the ports of Mombasa and Lamu are integral to this agenda, with investments focused on increasing handling capacity, improving port efficiency, and strengthening connectivity between maritime trade, road infrastructure, and the wider logistics network.

Along the Northern Corridor, the Mombasa–Nairobi Expressway PPP is being progressed to strengthen connectivity from the Port of Mombasa to Nairobi, integrating with the operational Nairobi Expressway and extending into the Nairobi–Nakuru–Mau Summit Highway PPP. Feasibility work on the Mau Summit–Eldoret–Malaba Highway PPP is also progressing, advancing the corridor toward the Uganda border and onward regional markets.

This integrated planning is anchored in the economic function of the transport network, connecting our maritime gateways with productive regions, logistics hubs, major consumption centers, and cross-border markets. The value of these investments will ultimately be reflected in the efficiency with which goods move from port to market, the capacity of our infrastructure to accommodate growing trade volumes, and the ability of the network to facilitate regional value chains and expand market access.

Within the PPP framework, our mandate is to support the Government in translating these infrastructure priorities into well-prepared, bankable investments capable of mobilizing private capital, technical capability, and long-term operational expertise. Strengthening this network is fundamental to Kenya’s position as a regional trade and logistics gateway and to the economic integration of East and Central Africa.

Our Nairobi Expressway documentary examines an important component of this integrated transport network and its role within the wider economic corridor connecting Kenya’s maritime gateways, domestic economy, and regional markets.

This is very concerning news for the future of American tech, and a potential national-security risk. Our leadership should be clear-eyed about any single point of failure - even one controlled by company headquartered in an allied country - that could put America’s innovation edge at risk. https://t.co/9gDDhTOfXH

By 2035, more than 257 million young people will enter the workforce in countries affected by fragility, conflict, and violence. In these environments, jobs are more than an economic outcome. They are a pathway to stability, resilience, and opportunity. 

At the @WorldBankGroup #FragilityForum, I highlighted the critical role of small, micro, and nano businesses, which are often the first source of income, hope, and recovery for communities facing some of the world's most challenging circumstances. 

Creating jobs in FCV settings is not only a development imperative. It is an investment in peace and stability.

At a time when the international system is being tested, dialogue has the power to re-unite us for a more just & peaceful world.

On this International Day for Dialogue among Civilizations, we recognize the power of open communication to solve even the most intractable global challenges.

Africa Day celebrates the founding of the Organization of African Unity — a landmark legacy of unity, self-determination, and collective progress that continues to fuel shared prosperity across our continent.

Today, at the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), the Africa & Caribbean staff cohort hosted a vibrant cultural showcase, inviting colleagues to engage with our rich diverse identities, and resilient spirit. At the Kenyan booth, we were honored to connect with many staff led by Vice President and Chief Administration Officer Kaisu Christie, while sharing stories of Kenyan excellence — including Kenya’s Sabastian Sawe’s groundbreaking achievement as the first human being to run a sub-2-hour marathon in London.

We also highlighted the legendary Eliud Kipchoge and his defining philosophy: No human is limited.” This ethos — rooted in discipline, innovation, and unwavering belief — powerfully illustrates how barriers are meant to be transcended.

We are grateful to our bank, @AIIB_Official, a 21st century Multilateral Development Bank(MDB) with 110 member countries, whose mission is to help its clients build infrastructure for tomorrow(i4t) including Africa as critical partner.
