As the First International Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels begins in Santa Marta, Colombia African stakeholders, including civil society and leaders, have underscored the urgent need for a just, inclusive, and well-financed transition.
Speaking at a media briefing, they called for a framework that reflects the continentβs priorities and realities, including limited energy access, rising public debt, and intensifying climate impacts.
They highlighted the critical role of international cooperation, including through a Fossil Fuel Treaty, in delivering the finance, technical support, and debt relief measures needed for an equitable global transition.
They urged African countries to engage meaningfully in the conference to ensure the continentβs priorities are well articulated and shape outcomes that advance a resilient and sustainable energy future.
@LinusKaikai Data from their own website, https://t.co/mgb7VwPjJF, puts their paved network of roads at 12,000KMs as of 2 years ago.
Even if we add 2,000KMs, it still is just about 14,000KMs.
Dr. Ruto may have not been accurate to the last digit but he was still right either way.
@EricLatiff@Canduh_@TheIEK@EngineersBoard Part of the problem is these road agencies are populated by engineers even in positions where no engineering is essential.
They also need sociologists, planners, architects, landscape architects, economists etc in their employ.
Roads are not just engineering problems.
By the way, this has already been developed. I was pleasantly surprised when I passed by Kamukunji Grounds the other day and saw it already up @Disembe
@KennyKaburu Mhh!
So even this is will be part of Gikomba Market, since it was among the images shared? We are going to have a swimming pool and a football pitch?

@KasoluNjor77108@iamkipro@Ndonglaw043@ntsa_kenya There exist entities that impose fines and penalties without going through the judicial processes. Like KRA.
What should be there is the right to appeal should anyone feel the fines were imposed erroneously.
@pwanyama Ndugu, fear not. Professions evolve. Lawyers survived the typewriter, the fax machine and e-filing. Theyβll survive instant fines too.
The goal of this kind of reform is efficient justice, not guaranteed briefs. If a system works faster and cheaper for citizens, thatβs progress.
@_shugah@DCI_Kenya@Safaricom_Care If you send me money by mistake, I never send it back. I ask you to initiate reversal on your end. Even bank to MPESA transactions can be reversed.
You should do the same before rushing to complain on social media.
What you have done here can actually land you in trouble.
This instant fine management system was set up (and tested) a while back. I wonder why it has taken that long to go live. I am sure there are many unhappy folks out there who have been denied the benefit of dealing with the errant Kenyan drivers.
@Disembe This back-of-the-envelope economist has been projecting Kenya's downfall daily since August 2022. Amplifying govt shortfalls and spinning successes to make it look like the country will crumble soon.
He will be so delighted if proven right somehow. Yet he also lives in Kenya π
Was wondering what modification was taking place at the Uhuru Highway/Haille Sellassie roundabout causing the perennial traffic snarl ups at the spot.
It is a Ksh 2 Billion pedestrian underpass link to the Green Park bus terminus next to Uhuru Park.
The Magadi Road (B19) stretch beginning at Bomas of Kenya is a critical 20-kilometre transport corridor linking Nairobi to Ongata Rongai and Kiserian.
As fast-growing urban centres within the Nairobi Metropolitan Area, Rongai and Kiserian play an increasingly vital role in housing, commerce and daily commuter movement into the Capital.
The upgrading of this corridor is a strategic metropolitan intervention with far-reaching socio-economic impact, with the Kenya National Highways Authority (@KeNHAKenya) spearheading major dualling and expansion works to ease chronic congestion, improve mobility and road safety and unlock the region's development potential.
The State Department for Internal Security and National Administration continues to play a facilitative role in the project's execution by coordinating National Government Administration Officers (NGAOs) on the ground, supporting public engagement, ensuring security of worksites and fostering harmony between contractors and host communities. π π’π₯π π£πππ¦ - https://t.co/EccAnb9he4
1/3 The county's Spatial Plan progresses into the land optimization stage, stakeholders have been working to maximize land potential while ensuring environmental conservation, infrastructure growth, and economic sustainability. #TTCSP#SustainableDevelopment
This is an urban (and even rural) planning issue.
In an ideal society, there should be a school, supermarket, clinic, church, a bus stop, and a safe public park among other basic amenities within walking distance from people's homes.
This will even deal with traffic congestion.
A Kenyan man confronts a school driver for picking up children at 4 a.m. to take them to school. This trend by schools of collecting school-going children very early in the morning has become increasingly common, without considering how it affects the children.
