Had the pleasure of receiving Ms. Catherine Atkison, the UK Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in the Ministry of Justice for Victims and Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls, @catkinson80, who led the UK delegation to #CCPCJ35.
I commended the UK’s steadfast support to @UNODC and affirmation of its added value in assisting states in tackling the growing interconnected challenges of transnational crimes, including trafficking of drugs and people, as well as cybercrime and terrorism.
We agreed to work towards the follow-up of the outcomes from the UK-championed Global Fraud Summit, which forged international consensus on the growing challenge of digitally enabled fraud, its efforts aimed at ending violence against women and girls, and preparations for the UN Crime Congress in Abu Dhabi.
@ivymuthe@davidmakali1 May God give this family the strength to bear the multiple tragedies - the public mourns with the parents who lost their children and those whose children are injured and traumatized.
This is the mother who received a phone call in the middle of the night telling her that a dangerous fire had broken out at the school where her child was studying. She quickly woke her husband, and they immediately set off on the journey to the school to find out how their child was doing.
Tragically, they never made it. They got into a serious accident along the way, and the mother died on the spot. Her husband is now in hospital in critical condition.
In the end, this mother passed away without ever knowing whether her child was safe or had been trapped and burned inside the burning school.
May the Almighty be with this family.
Members of the National Assembly and Senators, it is your duty and role to stop President William Ruto from making Kenya an Ebola containment Island. For once, do your work and save Kenyans.
A warm welcome to Monica Juma from #Kenya, the new Director-General of #UNVienna and Executive Director of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime @UNODC, on her first day in the office today.

@Honcalebamisi Politicians like @JohnMbadiN should concentrate on their agendas and stop focusing on character assassination of those who do not support their ideas and alliances.
