A generation has grown older waiting for representation. Is this simply a legal setback, or a deeper failure of youth governance? I unpack the uncomfortable questions in my latest article.

.@HonJuliusMigos When reporting systems fail, girls pay the price. Behind every number is a girl whose future is at risk. Weak systems cannot hide the reality: teenage pregnancy is robbing our youth of opportunity.

We demand accountability, data transparency, and action to safeguard adolescents. @EduMinKenya

When the powerful misuse the courts to silence voices calling for justice, it’s not just an attack on one person; it’s an attack on our freedom as Kenyans.

SLAPP suits threaten our ability to speak out, to defend our rights, and to protect our future.

Watch our animation video and see why SLAPP affects everyone including YOU! #StandAgainstSLAPPs #StopSLAPPsKE

🚨 STATEMENT ALERT!

Kenya’s first confirmed Ebola death raises urgent questions about the country’s disease surveillance, airport screening and overall outbreak preparedness.

TISA calls on the Government of Kenya to publish the full incident timeline, commission and make public an independent after-action review, disclose the operational status of national Ebola preparedness measures, protect frontline workers, uphold the rights and dignity of all affected persons, and maintain regular, transparent communication with the Kenyan public.

🇰🇪 🇺🇸 HIV deaths on the rise in Kenya since US aid cuts

At least 24 HIV-positive sex workers in Kenya have died since aid was slashed by the United States in early 2025, despite being in good health until then. The US has long been the biggest donor to Kenya's health system, but the Trump administration has restructured support away from NGOs, and passed rules to prevent them promoting issues it opposes

Six education Bills are before the National Assembly. What exactly do they propose?

First on the list is the Basic Education Bill, 2026.

The Bill seeks to replace the Basic Education Act, 2013, with new provisions covering learners’ rights, school governance, parental responsibilities, inspections, scholarships, education data, and institutions serving learners with disabilities and marginalized communities.

Here’s what you need to know (thread):
- The Bill guarantees free and compulsory basic education, while addressing attendance, discipline, transition and re-entry, including for learners affected by pregnancy, GBV, child labour and disability.

- The Bill also provides for special needs education and gives the Kenya Institute of Special Education a statutory basis.
