For the last three and half years, I have had the honour of a solemn responsibility of serving my motherland as His Excellency President Ruto’s National Security Advisor and Secretary to the National Security Council.

Thank you, Excellency, for entrusting me with this solemn responsibility, and the privilege of walking by your side, parsing the delicate contours of vulnerabilities, risks, threats, as well as opportunities available to our country: crafting strategic responses, and advising on matters upon which the safety of our Republic largely revolved.

As I take my bow, I thank you most sincerely and extend best wishes to you as you continue to steer Kenya forward.  
On 11th May 2026, I take up my next appointment as Under Secretary General of the United Nations, in a dual mandate, to serve as the next Executive Director of UNODC and Director General of UNOV, based out of Vienna.

I look forward to the support of my motherland, Kenya as I serve on this global arena

Asante Kenya, kwaheri ya kuonana!

Today, we officially launched our 2026 edition report: State of PR in Africa Report: Use AI and Digital-First Media in African Public Relations, featuring insights from our guest speaker Ambassador Philip Thigo(@pthigo)

The launch came alive with a thought-provoking panelists; @Nyandia_G, @KiarieCaroline, Maina Chege, @Njoki116 and @alexowiti, bringing together thought leaders to explore the evolving PR landscape.

The report draws insights from 54 agencies across 16 African countries, representing 6,500–7,800 professionals, alongside interviews with. industry leaders and a survey of 80 students from seven universities in Kenya, which offers a Pan African view.

The report highlights how AI has moved from an experimental tool to a core driver of PR in Africa. With 81.5% of senior professionals using tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and MidJourney, and Gen Z integrating AI into content creation, campaign planning and social listening, AI is now the new operating system for PR.

AI is transforming content creation, speeding up workflows, and enabling hyper-localized storytelling while human creativity, emotional intelligence, and strategic thinking remain irreplaceable. The report also highlights generational differences in platforms and underscores the importance of trust, ethics and transparency.

This is a profession in transition, driven by technology, shaped by the next generation and redefining influence, credibility and storytelling across the continent.

My fellow Kenyans, there is something important about CBC and Grade 10 that is not being honestly explained to the public, by the William Ruto government and, unfortunately, by much of the mainstream media.

On television, we are told that Grade 10 learners are failing to join schools because of lack of fees, and that schools lack textbooks.

But there is a bigger question that neither government briefings nor prime-time news panels are asking.

In 2025, the government signed a €180 million World Bank loan for grade 10 & cbc education.

The money was released in December 2025.
Repayment by all Kenyan taxpayers begins in 2029.

According to the official loan documents, part of this money was meant to:

- Provide textbooks for every Grade 10 learner (1:1 ratio)
- Offer full scholarships to needy students
- Build classrooms to support the CBC transition
- Provide free lunch for Grade 10 learners

Now ask yourself:

If textbooks were funded, why are parents being asked to buy them?
If scholarships were funded, why are many learners failing to report for Grade 10?
If classrooms were funded, why do many schools show no new infrastructure?
Something does not add up.

What is even more troubling is that a huge chunk of this loan is allocated to ministry offices, administration, and so-called "consultations," while less than half directly benefits learners.

If loans are borrowed in the name of our children, why do offices benefit more than classrooms and students?

This is not noise.
It is accountability.

Some truths will never lead the evening news.
But they must still be told.
Evidence attached below. Judge for yourself.

He was killed by the rogue police for selling face masks at Imenti House.

It’s so unfortunate that Eli is not going home to see his family tonight.
