This morning, I presided over the groundbreaking ceremony for school infrastructure improvement projects at Kihate Comprehensive School in Nyeri County.
The projects, funded by the M-Pesa Foundation, underscore the significant role of corporate partners in promoting access to quality education through infrastructure development and scholarship support.
I was accompanied by my Agriculture and Livestock Development counterpart, Hon. Sen. Mutahi Kagwe, and the Chairperson of the Safaricom Foundation, Joseph Ogutu.
Apology And Clarification: Sacco Funds
On Saturday, NTV aired a story indicating that more than one trillion shillings entrusted to saccos by millions of Kenyans could soon become the financial muscle behind the country's next generation of mega infrastructure projects.
After review of the facts, we acknowledge that the details of this report were incorrect and we hereby unreservedly apologise to the Deputy President, Professor Kithure Kindiki, who was cited as the source of the angle, as well as all other affected persons by our reportage, for any inconveniences and harm it may have caused.

It is with profound sadness that we acknowledge the passing of our Board Chairman, Mr. James Ruitha.
Mr. Ruitha's leadership, wisdom, and commitment played a significant role in shaping our organization. He will be remembered not only for his contribution and guidance, but also for the respect and admiration he inspired in those who had the privilege of working alongside him.
A distinguished leader, a trusted mentor, and a remarkable individual. His legacy will continue to inspire generations to come. ๐๏ธ
We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time.
Gen Z did more than reject a Finance Bill, they rewired our politics. From TikTok spaces to court corridors, they disrupted the old script of tribal mobilisation and elite bargains by insisting that public power answer to constitutional principle and economic justice. Their leaderless, tribeless, crowd-sourced organising exposed how quickly informed citizens can fact-check officials, decode bills and turn legalese into rallying cries for accountability. In doing so, they reminded the country that Article 1 is not a slogan but a living reality. All sovereign power belongs to the people, and those who exercise it do so on terms.
Gen Z forced courts to speak faster, MPs to apologise and an Executive that had grown tone-deaf to finally listen. They made institutions feel public pressure in real time and showed that silence in the face of abuse of power is a professional and generational betrayal. Our duty now is to entrench that energy into institutions and not let it fade with the news cycle. If Gen Z could reclaim the streets and the digital public square, the least we can do is ensure that their courage is translated into lasting legal, policy and cultural reform, not another round of cosmetic concessions.
As this moment continues to unfold, let it also be guided by responsibility. Stay safe, remain peaceful and look out for one another. The strength of a movement is not only in its conviction but in its discipline and care for human life. Be each otherโs keepers because the future we are demanding must also be one we protect.
Some personal news. After nearly 7 years leading WhatsApp, I'm excited to share who will take over the responsibility of delivering simple, reliable, and private messaging for the world. WhatsApp is in the strongest position it's ever been โ and that felt like the right moment to step back.
I'm so proud of what we have built. We scaled end-to-end encrypted messaging to more than three billion people. We brought it to group chats, companion devices, new surfaces โ and defended people's right to a private conversation across the globe.
Kunal Shah will be WhatsApp's next leader. He built CRED into one of India's most important technology companies and has a deep care for the people that rely on our apps. Iโm very excited to see what Kunal and our amazing team continue to build.
Thank you for the privilege of serving people who rely on WhatsApp everywhere. ๐
SP: Five years ago, Kenya lost a giant. But giants don't disappear โ they multiply.
