Eleweka

Insightful conversations on Kenya, Africa, Politics, Leadership, Society and Ideas. Conversations that cut through the noise.

@wnyakera This is why our institutions decay. In a functioning state, qualifications should open the door, performance should keep you there and failure should have consequences. A nation is clearly defined by the people it entrusts to lead it. #Eleweka

1st African country! My city 🇰🇪 has won the bid to host the 2029 World Athletics Championships. Kenya won the hosting rights over London for 2029; while Munich will host the 2031 edition. I am over the moon!

[Eleweka @Eleweka777]

Kenya will host the 2029 World Athletics Championships. This is a historic moment to celebrate. The sporting, economic and reputational gains could be immense. We must deliver a championship worthy of history.

[Eleweka @Eleweka777]

@WilliamsRuto This is historic for Kenya and Africa. And the strongest answer to scepticism directed at Kenya should be a transparent, world-class execution. #Eleweka

TONIGHT on Eleweka! Young people are being asked to choose careers at a time when jobs, technology and the meaning of work are changing rapidly. Joe Munene talks to Mwikali Muthiani about career confusion, youth unemployment, education,employability and the impact of AI on work.

[Eleweka @Eleweka777]

@Lawton_Times Why is it Incredible? After more than four decades without a single African host, Nairobi winning the bid is not Europe being unfairly excluded or wronged. It is the sport recognising its global constituency. This sounds like entitlement dressed up as a concern. #Eleweka

Kenya’s public universities reportedly owed Sh69.23bn as of June 2025. This is evidence of a university system whose obligations and financing no longer align. Affects suppliers, pension schemes,maintenance, staffing, research et al. We need recovery plans made public. #Eleweka

[Eleweka @Eleweka777]

@ntvkenya This clarification was necessary and is welcome. No African should be threatened merely for being a foreigner in Kenya. We are judged not just by what we say about integration, but by how safely other Africans can live and work among us. #Eleweka

[Eleweka @Eleweka777]

@naval Dispersing access does not disperse the risk. Powerful AI in millions of hands can still cause systemic harm. We need neither corporate monopoly nor a free-for-all, but democratic national oversight anchored in global rules that constrain companies and states alike. #Eleweka

[Eleweka @Eleweka777]

@Gatimu Public sector jobs currently stand at app 1.07M and account for only 5% of Kenya's current app 21.6M jobs. Replacing older workers doesn't resolve the jobs challenge. You offload older workers but they are still part of society. We must focus on creation of new jobs. #Eleweka

[Eleweka @Eleweka777]

A strong message on the need for effective oversight and guardrails on AI. Perhaps also a challenge that humanity is overdue for a software update called common sense. #Eleweka

[Reuters @Reuters]

Around 30 robots demonstrated outside Poland's Digital Affairs Ministry in Warsaw, chanting 'we want law, we want rules' to demand stronger AI oversight

[Eleweka @Eleweka777]

@Kenyans PLO’s frustration is understandable. But the failure may lie less with Governor Nyong’o than with the organisers who interrupted substance to perform protocol. Yes, give due courtesy but the Governor needed to be ushered in quietly as the programme was already underway.

[Eleweka @Eleweka777]

Kenya holds minerals worth billions. But resources alone do not create prosperity. Who processes them and owns the capability? Who supplies the industry? What do the local communities & Kenya gain? Are the contracts transparent? Industrialisation, not just extraction is the goal.

[Eleweka @Eleweka777]

@ahmednasirlaw When controlling public money offers a faster route to wealth than creating value, 'talent' moves from enterprise to patronage. Kenya must make unexplained political wealth a very costly affair and doing honest business, much easier. #Eleweka

[Eleweka @Eleweka777]

@ReubenKigame Africa’s strength will come from building a common identity rooted in dignity, solidarity, justice and belief in one another. When these values become stronger than our ethnicities, divide-and-rule loses its power. #Eleweka

[Eleweka @Eleweka777]

@ntvkenya Transferring functions to counties without financing them is devolution in name only. "Resources must follow functions" should become an auditable rule, not a recurring negotiation. But the public also needs evidence that additional money produces improved services. #Eleweka

[Eleweka @Eleweka777]

@Edbiziman Regional integration exists psychologically as well as legally. People will not exercise EAC mobility rights if they believe a political mood can suddenly make them unsafe. We are one people. #Eleweka
