|Exploring AI Partnerships for Cohesion|
Today, the #NCIC hosted a delegation from @QhalaHQ led by CEO @DrShikoh to discuss opportunities for collaboration on the responsible application of emerging technologies in advancing national cohesion.
Discussions focused on leveraging Artificial Intelligence to monitor hate speech, enhance digital literacy, counter misinformation, and support peacebuilding efforts, particularly as the country prepares for the 2027 General Elections.
The engagement also highlighted opportunities to develop AI-driven tools, training programmes, and ethical technology frameworks that promote inclusive dialogue and responsible digital communication.

@edwinsifuna@edgarwabwire_ There comes at a time when in honour of his parents a man has to scuttle their sentimental but dilapidated shed and build a decent house in it's place. The sell-outs don't deserve you but the majority and future of the party does need you. Kaa ngumu! @edwinsifuna@HEBabuOwino
@jeff_njeff@Thuranira_1 That's coz it's likely to turn into a class action. When the other parents realise that consent ought to have been sought expressly and the relationship with the school doesn't warrant automatic publishing rights of the minors' data
@laban_ach@Thuranira_1 Read the act bro. Consent can be withdrawn at any point. Whether it existed or not is immaterial the parent expressly directed the school not to publish. In any case the burden of proof is on the school to demonstrate that Consent was obtained and 'live' as prescribed in the act.
@BonNalugala@Thuranira_1 It's actually at every instance not every year.
Students and parents are customers who pay for services that schools render. There's no expectation that the school ought to publicise the outcomes of such services.
@Mitz_KE@ntsa_kenya The real penalty of a retest is that the driver needs to wait five years before they get a PSV licence because the re-issued on is treated as new. And this will always show on their record so will also reduce employability.
At Silicon Xchange, under the theme “The Definitive AI Bridge: Silicon Valley × Africa,” Qhala helped shape a deeper dialogue on what it will truly take to build Africa’s AI future.
From Dr. Elizabeth Wamicha, PhD AI in Africa 2025 snapshot, mapping progress, constraints, and untapped opportunity, to a powerful panel moderated by @thomaskaberi, the focus was clear: Africa’s innovation infrastructure must be intentional, collaborative, and built for scale.
Together with leaders from the @UKinKenya, @NIFCAfrica, and the @KENIAupdates , the discussion unpacked the role of trusted data, founder-ready economic zones, and meaningful partnerships between startups, corporates, and policymakers.
Africa’s AI story is bigger than technology. It’s about collaboration. Policy. And the courage to redesign systems so innovation can thrive.
Thank you for hosting us Ashley Njoroge!

The discussion moved from the need for symbiotic relationships between startups and corporates, to reimagining special economic zones that actually work for founders.
They further harped on the need for credible, trusted data to drive investment decisions made regarding AI. It became clear that Africa’s AI story is more than just technology; it largely depends on collaboration, policy, and the willingness to redesign systems so that innovation can thrive.
