Italian Prime Minister Gigiorgia Meloni asked, over and over, for a picture with me during the G-7 meeting in France. She is doing poorly in Italy with her level of popularity, possibly because she turned down the United States of America, a Country that truly loves and protects Italy, when it came to denying Iran from obtaining or developing a Nuclear Weapon (But so did NATO, for that matter!). She wouldn’t even let us use Italy’s landing strips or runways, a great logistical inconvenience, and this despite the fact the U.S. contributes hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year to protect Italy, and other “so-called” NATO Allies. Now, after the United States defeated Iran militarily, she wants to be friends again in order to get her “numbers up.” No thanks!!! President DJT

The government hired dar to draw the JKIA masterplan. Good choice. For over a decade dar has been ranked the world's top airport design firm. They master planned Al Maktoum in Dubai, set to be the largest airport on earth. They worked on Hamad in Doha, named the world's best airport of 2024. They have planned or built 300 airports across six continents. When Kenya needed a plan, we reached for the very best in the world, and we were right to.
So now that the government has chosen the best to design it, we hope they will follow through and, in the same spirit of excellence, choose the best in the industry to build it. Kenyans are ready to throw their full weight behind this project. We are all tired of the old, leaking airport that has long outlived its usefulness.
Having seen the concept designs, I am quite excited. They are stunning and way better than any previous ones. The new terminal takes its cue from the savannah and the great migration, with a canopy that filters daylight the way the sun falls through the plains, a gateway that feels unmistakably Kenyan and world-class at the same time. This is the standard we should all be proud of. Now let us match it with a build, and a process, worthy of the drawings.

Firms seeking the JKIA upgrade tender must show they can access at least Sh100 billion in cash or liquid assets.
They must also provide a Sh2.5 billion tender security.
Representatives of Dangote Industries Limited, led by Managing Director, Infrastructure and Logistics, Captain Jamil Abubakar, recently engaged with the people of Ode Omi Community in Ogun State as part of ongoing preparations for the proposed Deep Seaport project.
Expected to be the largest seaport in Africa, the project represents a significant investment in infrastructure, trade facilitation, logistics capacity, and long-term economic development.
The engagement provided an opportunity to strengthen dialogue with the host community, share the vision for the project, and reinforce the importance of partnership, inclusion, and shared prosperity as development plans progress.
