@ambuko@kalromkulima@uonbi@NCState @kilimoKE @FeedtheFuture@HortInnovLab This is beautiful and congratulations are so much in order... Repositioning of the African indigenous vegetables is long overdue... Let us (big champions of AIVs) know how we can support in this project
@ImmigrationKen2 And finally, can you please ask your officers to save our passport pages...we love them rubberstamps of exit and entry but we would appreciate if new pages weren't opened when there was space in previous pages... Renewal of passport is a nightmare in Kenya
@ImmigrationKen2 I need to place a complaint with clearance once we arrive at JKIA.. can immigration leave just one counter squarely for Kenyans. Yesterday I arrived via LH 590 that landed at 21:50pm.I was cleared at 23:15pm... huduma mbora was not my right๐ฅ
@ImmigrationKen2 I do travel a bit but everywhere I go... Citizens are treated special if you arrive late, you are shown to the front of a specific counter will... Now I ask myself... Was I to be uncomfortable at the queue so that I be cleared huko mbele ๐ค
In the line of duty, sometimes you get yourself mingling with both National and County governments.. Today I was in the midst of 2 CSs, 2 Governors, 3 Deputy Governors, several CECMs and 2 COs. Great conversations went down as we strategise to utilise the EIA
@ambuko To reduce on food loss and waste, let's advocate for value addition to ugly looking vegetables and fruits. And intensively promote on the consumption of the value added foods.
Grateful to be undertaking this important senior-most course in the Kenyan public service:- Strategic Leadership Development Program (SLDP) - Transforming minds from being a Postharvest Technologist into a Strategic leader
