Presided over the launch of the Phase One Report of the Jukwaa La Wasomi Programme virtually and commended its contribution to strengthening dialogue, mediation and peaceful conflict resolution across institutions of learning.

The programme has so far trained and certified 1,004 professional mediators from 264 universities, TVETs, national polytechnics, teachers training colleges and other institutions, creating a strong network of peace ambassadors among young people.

Coming at a time when several secondary schools across the country have experienced cases of unrest, the inclusion of primary and secondary schools in the next phase is both timely and necessary as we continue working together to build safe, inclusive and peaceful learning environments across the country.

Kenya 🇰🇪 is steadily making progress towards the accession to the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime in a move that will ensure the country is part of the world’s leading framework for international cooperation in combating misuse of computer systems and the internet.

Once acceded to, our nation is expected to benefit from mutual legal assistance, cross-border investigations, and electronic evidence sharing with the 82 jurisdictions currently party to the treaty.

Principal Secretary for Internal Security and National Administration, Dr. Raymond Omollo, received the public participation report from the National Computer and Cybercrimes Coordination Committee (NC4) following Cabinet approval that was granted in February 2026 to commence the accession process.

The accession now proceeds under the Treaty Making and Ratification Act, 2012, with Parliament serving as the final stage of domestic approval.

Less than 600 police officers out of the more than 110,000 currently serving have active cases before the Independent Policing Oversight Authority.

Principal Secretary for Internal Security and National Administration, Dr. Raymond Omollo today welcomed IPOA officials to Harambee House for a courtesy meeting focused on strengthening police accountability.

The team, led by Vice Chairperson Ms. Anne Wanjiku and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Elema Halake, briefed the Principal Secretary on the Authority’s ongoing work, including the development of standard operating procedures to ensure public interest cases are handled more promptly, as well as an Alternative Dispute Resolution policy to address administrative complaints that are not criminal in nature, and which form the bulk of police related matters received by the authority.

The meeting further noted that amendments to the IPOA Act had been proposed for review, aimed at expanding the Authority’s mandate.

Beyond their constitutional roles of representation, legislation and oversight, Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) are critical agents of development and social change at the community level.

Their close interactions with Wananchi enrich them with important insights on development and service delivery priorities at the grassroots.

This afternoon, I held a consultative meeting with Uasin Gishu County MCAs led by the Speaker, Hon. Philip Muigei in, Nairobi.

I called upon the leaders to collaborate with us in combating the abuse and proliferation of drugs and alcohol in the county, and in promoting peace and social cohesion.

I also urged them to leave a mark in the Assembly and to transform the communities they serve.

Residents of Plateau Location, Kaptagat Division, Ainabkoi Sub-County, and Ziwa Location, Soy Division, Soy Sub-County, turned up in large numbers to benefit from the recently concluded registration exercise aimed at bringing government services closer to the people.

The exercise provided eligible citizens with an opportunity to access vital registration services within their communities, reducing the need to travel long distances in search of services.

The initiative is part of the Government's ongoing commitment to enhancing access to documentation services and ensuring that every eligible Kenyan is registered and able to enjoy their rights and access registration services.

We remain committed to reaching underserved and remote areas through continuous registration exercises under the Usajili Mashinani initiative.

[National Registration Bureau @Sajili_IDKe]

No distance should stand between citizens and Government services. Our teams are on the ground in Cheptiret and Chuiyat Locations, Kesses Sub-County, delivering registration services directly to wananchi through the ongoing Mobile Registration Exercise.

The Kerio Valley region is endowed with agricultural, energy and mineral riches as well as immense tourism potential. The Kenya Kwanza administration continues to invest heavily in security and infrastructure development in the region. This investment has started paying dividends.

Regular consultation with leaders and other stakeholders from the area is critical in consolidating these gains and unlocking more growth potential.

This morning, I held a meeting with MPs from Samburu, Turkana, West Pokot, Baringo and Elgeyo-Marakwet counties. We took stock of the security gains we have made in the region and explored strategies to sustain the prevailing peace, stability, and spur more development.

We will also expedite the construction of security roads and the expansion of mobile network coverage, among other initiatives in the five counties.

When an African child walks miles for water, the journey is not only theirs; it is a measure of our unfinished work.

We join the rest of the continent in commemorating the 2026 Day of the African Child, a moment to reaffirm our collective responsibility to safeguard the rights, dignity and future of every child.

This year's theme, 'Ensuring Universal Access to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) for Every Child in Africa,' reminds us that access to clean water and safe sanitation is more than a basic need. It is, infact, a pathway to good health, quality education and equal opportunity.

As we mark this important day, let us strengthen our resolve to build communities where every child can learn, grow and pursue their dreams in an environment of safety, health and hope. #DayOfTheAfricanChild, #DAC2026

[Probation and Aftercare Service @ProbationKE]

The Probation and Aftercare Service plays a key role in safeguarding the welfare of children, particularly those who may have come into conflict with the law. We believe that every child has worth, every child has potential, and every child deserves a second chance to succeed.

Kenya 🇰🇪 is among the leading countries in the use of social media. We are spending 5+ hours daily online against a global average of 2 hours.

While social media provides opportunities for content creation, entertainment, communication and business, it is important to use it responsibly.

Harmful conduct such as hate speech, cyberbullying, threats online and invasion of people’s privacy violate our applicable laws, including the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act.

As the first administration to establish and roll out, on its own volition, a framework to recognize and compensate victims of human rights violations, the Kenya Kwanza government has once again demonstrated its commitment to justice, accountability, national healing, unity and reconciliation.

This morning, I joined H.E. the Deputy President Prof. @KindikiKithure and fellow leaders in State House, Nairobi, during the presentation of the report on the Framework for Reparations for Victims of Human Rights Violations to H.E. President @WilliamsRuto by the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights @HakiKNCHR

We commend KNCHR for the comprehensive report, and welcome recommendations to enact a reparation law and the operationalization of Article 37 of the Constitution to provide a clear legislative framework for demonstrations, picketing, and public assemblies.

As a Ministry, we commit ourselves to the full implementation of the report, including continuous training and retraining of our security officers on human rights, constitutionalism, and professional conduct.

We also call upon fellow citizens to observe the law as they exercise their rights to assembly, demonstrations and picketing.

[Dr. Raymond Omollo — CBS @ray_omollo]

Joined H.E. President @WilliamsRuto at State House, Nairobi, for the assent to the Division of Revenue Bill, 2026, a significant step in strengthening devolution and enhancing the capacity of county governments to deliver services closer to the people.

The legislation allocates KSh428 billion to counties for the 2026/27 Financial Year and provides KSh10.25 billion for the Equalisation Fund, reinforcing efforts to promote equitable development and bridge regional disparities.

These allocations will support the delivery of essential public services, accelerate grassroots development and strengthen the structures that foster inclusive growth, social cohesion and responsive governance across the country.

In line with ongoing plans to modernize Nairobi’s emergency response capability, the Principal Secretary for Internal Security and National Administration, Dr. Raymond Omollo visited the Questura di Roma (Rome Police Headquarters) operations center that coordinates emergency calls, monitors CCTV surveillance feeds, and facilitates real-time communication between field officers, command teams and other emergency service providers.

The facility offered useful learning points on how a city’s command center can integrate incident monitoring, patrols, dispatch and traffic control. It also demonstrated how new technological surveillance enhances the security of critical infrastructure and public spaces.

Some of the challenges facing our country today are a reflection of our generation's failure to impart values to our children.

In the current fast-paced world, parents are increasingly distant from their children, leaving their upbringing to the internet and teachers. The result are children who are poorly equipped to navigate the demands of today's society.

During the Jukwaa La Usalama engagements, we pledged to provide our Village Elders with a stipend to facilitate their work, which is crucial for strengthening security and administration at the community level.

I am glad that a total of 110,000 village elders will benefit from this stipend after Treasury Cabinet Secretary @JohnMbadiN allocated KSh 3.9 billion in his Budget Statement.

The recognition and facilitation of the Elders will enhance administration, and bolster security coordination and dissemination of information at the community level.

The budget further proposes more strategic investments in security interventions, including KSh 13 billion for the leasing of police motor vehicles, KSh 7 billion for the Police Modernisation Programme, and KSh 1 billion for the construction of a National Forensic Facility.

This, alongside our ongoing administrative reforms, will improve service delivery to the public and create an enabling environment for our socioeconomic prosperity.

We are committed to supporting H.E. the President’s bold economic measures to transform our nation.

In Rome they are known as the mafia, in Nairobi we know them as cartels.

Corrupt networks that have control and access of high public demand city services including procurement, transport, garbage collection, land transactions, licensing and parking.

Principal Secretary for Internal Security and National Administration, Dr. Raymond Omollo, held discussions with the Brigadier General, Mr. Renzo Nisi of the Guardia di Finanza @GDF and Head of Department at the Anti-Mafia Investigation Directorate (DIA) on Italy’s long experience in confronting mafia-type organizations offering key takeaways for the Nairobi Metropolitan Police Unit to address organized criminal networks in urban services.
