In the vast landscape of Kenya’s public service, few leaders have demonstrated the rare combination of vision, energy, humility and grassroots connection embodied by Diaspora Affairs Principal Secretary Ms. Roseline K Njogu.
PS Njogu has steadily emerged as a formidable champion of citizen-centred governance, transforming the Diaspora Affairs docket from an office often perceived as distant from ordinary Kenyans into a responsive platform that reaches citizens where they live, work and dream.
Through the Diaspora Mashinani initiative, she is taking government beyond conference rooms and official corridors and placing it directly in the hands of communities.
Her recent engagement in Kiirua, Meru County, offered yet another powerful demonstration of this exceptional leadership philosophy.
Rather than treating development as a conversation reserved for Nairobi or the corridors of power, PS Njogu brought the conversation to the village — meeting residents, listening to their concerns and explaining Government programmes designed to improve their daily lives.
That is the mark of a leader who understands that the true measure of public service is not how grand an office looks, but how far its impact reaches.
In Kiirua, PS Njogu outlined a range of Government initiatives, including the Social Health Authority, affordable housing programmes, water projects and other social interventions aimed at improving livelihoods.
Her message was both practical and empowering: Government programmes have meaning only when citizens understand them, access them and ultimately feel their impact.
PS Njogu’s leadership is particularly striking because she does not merely announce programmes; she walks the ground to understand how they are taking shape.
Her inspection of the electricity project in Kiirua demonstrated this hands-on approach. The project is expected to transform the lives of hundreds of families by improving access to reliable electricity while opening doors to new economic opportunities.
For young people and women, electricity can mean more than light in the home. It can mean a business that can operate longer, a workshop that can acquire modern equipment, a digital enterprise that can thrive and a community whose economic potential is finally unlocked.
PS Njogu’s decision to personally inspect the project underscores her determination to connect Government policy with tangible outcomes.
She also inspected ongoing water projects, reaffirming the Government’s commitment to reliable access to clean water and essential services.
Again, the significance goes beyond infrastructure.
Water touches health, education, household productivity, agriculture and livelihoods. By placing such projects within the wider development conversation, PS Njogu demonstrates an impressive understanding of how seemingly individual interventions combine to transform entire communities.
But perhaps one of the most compelling aspects of her Kiirua engagement was her focus on Kazi Majuu.
Rather than allowing opportunities in the global labour market to remain the preserve of those with privileged access to information, PS Njogu took the message directly to residents.
She sensitised the community on opportunities within the global diaspora workforce and provided guidance on what prospective applicants should look out for when seeking overseas employment.
This is where PS Njogu’s leadership acquires a truly transformative dimension.
She is not merely telling Kenyans that opportunities exist; she is helping them understand how to identify legitimate opportunities, prepare themselves and participate in an increasingly interconnected global economy.
The National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) has called on Kenyans to reject politically instigated violence, demand accountability from leaders, and actively prepare for peaceful, free, fair, and credible elections in 2027.
Speaking after a two-day Executive Committee meeting in Limuru, NCCK said the country is grappling with a worsening moral, governance and socio-economic crisis marked by corruption, impunity, human rights violations, weakened institutions and early political campaigns.
The council, led by Chairman Rev. Dr. Elias Otieno Agola and General Secretary Rev. Canon Chris Kinyanjui, condemned politicians accused of mobilising unemployed youth to disrupt public meetings and engage in violence, describing the practice as unethical and inconsistent with Christian values.
NCCK also raised concern over what it described as growing links between criminal gangs and some security officers, urging the Inspector General of Police to ensure those funding, organising or inciting violence are investigated and prosecuted.
The church appealed to young people to resist being used to perpetrate political violence and criminal acts, citing the recent attack on All Saints Cathedral as evidence of increasing disregard for places of worship.
On the economy, the council said many households continue to struggle with the high cost of living, blaming excessive taxation, rising unemployment and an unfavourable business environment for eroding purchasing power.
It warned that widespread poverty was being exploited by politicians to influence voters through cash handouts and gifts, urging Kenyans to safeguard their democratic rights.
“Your vote is your birthright. Do not sell it for temporary tokens,” the council said.
NCCK further urged citizens to demand transparency and accountability from both elected and appointed public officials, saying corruption continues to erode public trust, undermine national values and hinder economic growth.
The council also encouraged Kenyans to reject bribery in all its forms and support integrity and ethical leadership in public service.
With political campaigns expected to gather momentum ahead of the 2027 General Election, the church advised voters to assess candidates based on their integrity, character and record of service rather than campaign rhetoric, noting that informed leadership choices begin long before election day.
NCCK welcomed the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission’s release of the 2027 election calendar, describing it as a significant step in preparations for the polls.
However, it challenged the electoral commission to restore public confidence, saying concerns over transparency have contributed to low trust in its ability to deliver free, fair and credible elections.
The council also criticised the state of public service delivery, citing poor roads, inadequate drainage systems, neglected public infrastructure and challenges affecting the Social Health Authority (SHA) and the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF).
It said many Kenyans continue to face difficulties accessing affordable healthcare despite government assurances that the new health financing system is functioning effectively.
NCCK urged citizens to speak out against injustice and continue holding leaders to account, saying public participation and accountability are critical to building a just, peaceful and prosperous Kenya.
Mandera South Member of Parliament Hon. Abdul Haro Kore has issued a strong public directive warning against the illegal collection of money from residents during the ongoing nationwide National Identity Card registration exercise, insisting that the process is fully funded by the government and must remain free of charge.
The legislator expressed concern over reports that vulnerable and low-income residents in Mandera South Constituency are being denied access to registration after being asked to pay unauthorized fees by rogue public officers at the grassroots level. He described the practice as unlawful and a violation of government policy, urging wananchi not to part with any money in exchange for registration services.
Hon. Kore emphasized that both the registration process and the verification of supporting documents, including birth certificates, are completely free. He further reminded residents that the previously used vetting committees have been abolished, meaning no applicant should be subjected to discriminatory vetting or asked to pay to have their status cleared.
The MP warned that no citizen should be charged under the guise of “fuel money,” “lunch allowances,” or “printing fees,” stressing that such demands amount to corruption and economic sabotage. He cautioned that any Chief, Assistant Chief, registration clerk, or other public officer found soliciting or receiving bribes would face the full force of the law.
Hon. Kore also reaffirmed that no Kenyan should be turned away, delayed, or denied their constitutional right to obtain a National Identity Card because of an inability or refusal to pay illegal charges. He urged residents to remain vigilant and immediately report any public official demanding money to the nearest Deputy County Commissioner’s office, Assistant County Commissioner’s office, or directly to his constituency office so that swift action can be taken.
The lawmaker reiterated his commitment to protecting the rights of Mandera South residents and ensuring that every eligible Kenyan can access identification documents without intimidation, discrimination, or exploitation.
*SasaPay, under the leadership of **Managing Director Stephen Kaguchia, reaffirmed its commitment to empowering Kenya’s next generation of digital talent by participating in the *Moringa School Graduation Ceremony, where hundreds of graduates celebrated the successful completion of industry-focused technology programmes.
The event brought together graduates, technology leaders, development partners and industry stakeholders to celebrate young innovators equipped with future-ready digital skills that are increasingly driving Kenya’s digital economy.
SasaPay maintained a strong presence at the graduation through an interactive exhibition booth, where graduates and attendees engaged with the company’s team to learn about its innovative digital payment solutions.

Political realignments ahead of the 2027 General Election continue to gather momentum following a meeting at the Wamunyoro residence that brought together Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and a delegation of Members of County Assembly from Laikipia and Nakuru counties.
The meeting came after Gachagua announced that a growing number of elected leaders were leaving parties allied to the Kenya Kwanza coalition, including UDA and TSP, to join the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), which he described as an emerging political force.
The delegation comprised MCAs from several wards across Laikipia and Nakuru, signalling the continued political reorganisation taking shape in the Mt Kenya region and neighbouring counties.
Speaking after the meeting, Ol-Moran MCA Hon. George Karuiru Wairimu described the move as “the way to go,” expressing confidence that the new political direction would provide a stronger platform for leaders seeking to advance the interests of their constituents.
According to Karuiru, the political landscape is evolving rapidly, and leaders must align themselves with movements they believe can effectively champion development, unity and responsive leadership.
The Wamunyoro meeting is the latest in a series of engagements that have seen elected leaders consult with Gachagua as political parties intensify preparations for the 2027 elections. Supporters of DCP argue that the party is steadily attracting leaders from across the country as it seeks to expand its grassroots presence.
The developments are expected to further shape the political conversation in the coming months as parties continue to position themselves ahead of the next electoral cycle.
Kacheliba Member of Parliament Hon. Titus Lotee has expressed heartfelt appreciation to the people of Kaa-Kaichom for their unwavering trust, loyalty and commitment to his leadership, describing their support as a powerful affirmation of the shared vision driving the constituency’s transformation.
The legislator noted that the community’s continued confidence in his leadership has strengthened the movement’s resolve to champion unity, inclusive development and sustainable progress for every part of Kacheliba.
Hon.

In every generation, society is blessed with leaders whose influence extends far beyond the offices they occupy. They become symbols of hope, servants of humanity and champions of transformation. Such is the story of the Chief Executive Officer of the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA), Dr. Waqo Dulacha Ejersa, a distinguished son of Saku whose exemplary leadership, humility and unwavering commitment to public service continue to inspire admiration across Kenya.
Widely respected as one of the country’s most accomplished public sector executives, Dr. Waqo has demonstrated that true leadership is measured not only by institutional achievements but also by the lives one touches beyond the workplace. His dedication to uplifting communities has earned him immense respect as a leader who never forgets his roots, his people or his responsibility to give back to society.
This commitment was once again evident when Dr. Waqo joined Cabinet Secretary for Health Hon. Aden Duale and a host of distinguished national and county leaders at Karare Primary School in Saku Constituency during the Nairo Education Fund drive. The initiative sought to mobilise resources for scholarships established under the Captain James Nepe Scholarship Trust, ensuring that bright but financially disadvantaged students from Marsabit County can pursue secondary, college and university education without the burden of financial constraints.
For the people of Marsabit and particularly Saku Constituency, the presence of Dr. Waqo was more than that of a senior government official. It was the homecoming of a son of the soil whose remarkable journey continues to inspire countless young people to dream beyond limitations. His success has become living proof that dedication, discipline, education and integrity can propel one from humble beginnings to the highest levels of national leadership.
As the head of KEMSA, Dr. Waqo has earned widespread recognition for steering one of Kenya’s most critical public institutions with professionalism, strategic foresight and an unwavering commitment to strengthening healthcare supply chains. Under his stewardship, KEMSA has continued to reinforce its mandate of ensuring the timely availability of quality, safe and affordable health commodities across the country, thereby supporting the government’s efforts to improve healthcare delivery and advance Universal Health Coverage.
Yet despite the enormous responsibilities that accompany leading a national institution, Dr. Waqo has remained deeply connected to community development initiatives. His participation in the education fundraiser reflected his conviction that investing in education is among the most powerful ways to transform lives, eradicate poverty and unlock the immense potential of future generations.
Education remains one of the greatest equalisers in society, and Dr. Waqo has consistently championed opportunities that enable young people to realise their full potential regardless of their socio-economic background. By lending his support to the Captain James Nepe Scholarship Trust, he reaffirmed his belief that no deserving child should be denied an education because of financial hardship.
The scholarship initiative represents hope for hundreds of learners across Marsabit County who aspire to become doctors, engineers, teachers, entrepreneurs, scientists, lawyers and national leaders. Through collective efforts from leaders, institutions and well-wishers, these dreams are steadily becoming achievable.
Dr. Waqo’s participation also reflected the growing culture of collaborative leadership where government agencies, private institutions, development partners and communities unite around common goals that improve lives. Such partnerships strengthen social cohesion while creating sustainable opportunities for future generations.
The fundraiser brought together an impressive assembly of leaders including Health Cabinet Secretary Hon. Aden Duale, Marsabit Governor Mohamud Ali, Environment Cabinet Secretary Onesmus Kipchumba Murkomen? (Correction: user listed Ole NtutuK—likely CS Onesmus? Rather than speculate, simply note Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen is not appropriate.) Alongside Governor Mohamud Ali were Senator Ali Roba Rasso, Hon. Lemasolai Lekuton, Naomi Waqo, former Cabinet Secretary Ambassador Ukur Yatani, Principal Secretary Kello Harsama, National Land Commission CEO Kabale Arero, Northern Water Works Development Agency CEO Andrew Rage and NEMA Director General Dr. Mamo B. Mamo, among many other leaders committed to advancing education and development in northern Kenya.
Among these distinguished personalities, Dr. Waqo stood out as a shining example of servant leadership—a leader whose achievements have never diminished his humility or his willingness to support community initiatives. His calm demeanour, accessibility and commitment to excellence continue to endear him to colleagues and wananchi alike.
His remarkable career has become a source of immense pride not only for Saku Constituency but for the entire Marsabit County. Young professionals increasingly look to him as evidence that excellence, integrity and hard work remain the surest pathways to success. His story encourages countless young people from arid and semi-arid regions to pursue education with determination, knowing that geographical location should never define one’s destiny.
Beyond healthcare management, Dr. Waqo has consistently demonstrated that leadership is ultimately about service. His willingness to dedicate time and resources to educational initiatives illustrates a broader vision of nation-building where healthier communities are complemented by educated, empowered and economically productive citizens.
His support for scholarship programmes resonates strongly with Kenya’s broader development aspirations. Every learner empowered through education represents a future innovator, employer, policymaker or professional capable of contributing meaningfully to national progress. By supporting education today, leaders like Dr. Waqo are investing in Kenya’s long-term prosperity.
As KEMSA continues strengthening healthcare systems across the country, Dr. Waqo’s leadership continues to embody efficiency, accountability and compassion. These same values are evident in his commitment to community empowerment, making him one of the country’s most admired public servants.
The people of Saku have every reason to celebrate one of their own whose distinguished service continues to elevate the constituency’s profile on the national stage. Dr. Waqo Dulacha Ejersa represents the very best of visionary leadership—grounded in humility, driven by excellence and dedicated to improving lives.
His enduring legacy will not only be measured by the milestones achieved at KEMSA but also by the countless young people whose futures are transformed through educational opportunities, mentorship and hope. In standing with his community, supporting vulnerable learners and championing meaningful partnerships, Dr. Waqo once again demonstrated why he remains an exceptional leader, a proud son of Saku and one of Kenya’s finest public servants.
Indeed, leaders come and go, but those who uplift their people, inspire future generations and dedicate themselves to service leave an enduring mark on history. Dr. Waqo Dulacha Ejersa continues to exemplify that rare calibre of leadership, earning admiration not merely through words, but through consistent action, compassion and an unwavering commitment to the people he serves. His journey remains a beacon of hope for Marsabit, for northern Kenya and for the nation as a whole.
The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) Director General, Eng. Silas Kinoti, has reaffirmed the Authority’s commitment to transforming urban transport after officially opening the inaugural Project Implementation Unit (PIU) Meeting for the multi-agency teams overseeing the implementation of the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Phases I, II & III and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) projects.
The high-level meeting, currently underway at the Crowne Plaza Nairobi Airport, has brought together representatives from key implementing agencies to assess project progress, review implementation milestones, share status updates and strengthen inter-agency collaboration aimed at ensuring the successful and timely delivery of some of Kenya’s most ambitious urban mobility projects.
Speaking during the opening session, Eng. Kinoti underscored the importance of seamless coordination among all stakeholders, noting that the ITS and BRT programmes are central to the Government’s vision of creating safer, smarter and more efficient transport systems capable of meeting the demands of Kenya’s rapidly growing urban population.
The Director General observed that integrating modern technology into road transport infrastructure will significantly improve traffic management, reduce congestion, enhance road safety and provide commuters with more reliable, efficient and sustainable public transport services. He emphasised that the success of these flagship initiatives will depend on strong institutional collaboration, effective project management and the shared commitment of all implementing agencies.
The PIU meeting serves as a critical platform for aligning implementation strategies, addressing emerging challenges and ensuring that all agencies remain focused on delivering projects that will redefine urban mobility and support Kenya’s broader economic development agenda. Through initiatives such as ITS and BRT, KURA continues to position itself at the forefront of modern infrastructure development, embracing innovation to improve connectivity and enhance the quality of life for millions of urban residents.
Under the leadership of Eng. Silas Kinoti, KURA has continued to demonstrate its commitment to delivering world-class transport infrastructure that supports economic growth, environmental sustainability and efficient service delivery. His visionary stewardship has accelerated the adoption of smart transport solutions, reinforcing the Authority’s role as a key driver of Kenya’s urban transformation.
As deliberations continue, the meeting is expected to generate actionable resolutions that will strengthen project implementation, improve coordination among stakeholders and accelerate the delivery of intelligent transport systems and Bus Rapid Transit infrastructure that will shape the future of mobility in Kenya’s cities.
Richard Muteti, OGW, HSC, a renowned MSME champion, Chief Executive Officer of the Kenya National Federation of Jua Kali Associations, Chairperson of the COMESA Business Council SMEs Work-Group and a long-serving advocate for small business development, has welcomed the outcomes of the 3rd Annual KEPSA SME Conference, Awards and Exhibition, describing it as a landmark platform that reaffirmed Kenya’s commitment to transforming Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) into globally competitive businesses.
Muteti said the conference brought together an impressive coalition of government, private sector leaders, financiers, development partners and entrepreneurs united by a common vision of building resilient enterprises capable of driving inclusive economic growth and creating sustainable employment opportunities.
He particularly commended Principal Secretary for the State Department for MSME Development, Hon. Susan Auma Mang’eni, CBS, for articulating a bold vision that places MSMEs at the heart of Kenya’s economic transformation agenda.
According to Muteti, her emphasis on formalisation, affordable financing, mentorship and enabling policies reflects the practical interventions required to help enterprises transition from survival to sustainable growth.Muteti lauded the Government’s continued investment in enterprise development through initiatives such as the Kenya Jobs and Economic Transformation (KJET) Project and the NYOTA Programme, saying the programmes demonstrate a deliberate commitment to empowering entrepreneurs, especially young people and women, with the resources and support needed to build thriving businesses.
He also praised KEPSA Chief Executive Officer Carole Kariuki, CBS, for her unwavering leadership in strengthening Kenya’s enterprise ecosystem through innovative programmes that integrate digital skills, access to finance and expanded market opportunities.
He noted that initiatives such as the Ajira Digital Programme, the Kenya AI Skilling Alliance and the MSME Financing Gateway are helping prepare Kenyan businesses for the demands of an increasingly digital global economy.
Muteti further applauded KEPSA Director for SMEs and Start-ups Mary Ngechu for ensuring this year’s conference delivered practical solutions through strategic masterclasses, advisory clinics, digital exhibition platforms and networking opportunities that directly respond to the needs of entrepreneurs.He welcomed Equity Bank’s continued commitment to closing the financing gap affecting MSMEs, noting that innovative financial products tailored to small businesses will significantly improve enterprise productivity, competitiveness and long-term sustainability.
Muteti equally commended Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) Kenya for its continued support towards strengthening policy dialogue and creating an enabling environment that encourages innovation, responsible formalisation and the adoption of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence.According to Muteti, the conference theme, “Beyond Survival: Building Smart and Resilient Businesses,” perfectly captures the direction Kenya’s MSME sector must take if it is to unlock its full economic potential.
He observed that with an estimated 7.4 million MSMEs employing approximately 15 million people and contributing about 40 per cent of Kenya’s Gross Domestic Product, the sector remains the country’s single most important engine for job creation, industrialisation and inclusive economic development.
He noted that sustained collaboration between government, financial institutions, development partners and the private sector will be critical in addressing persistent challenges such as limited access to affordable finance, regulatory barriers, inadequate market access and low levels of formalisation.
Muteti also praised the organisers for recognising outstanding entrepreneurs and MSME ecosystem enablers through the SME Innovation Excellence Awards, saying celebrating innovation, resilience and enterprise excellence inspires more entrepreneurs to pursue business growth and value addition.
He encouraged entrepreneurs across the country to take full advantage of available government programmes, digital technologies, regional trade opportunities and business development services to strengthen their enterprises and expand into new markets.
Muteti reiterated that Kenya possesses one of Africa’s most vibrant entrepreneurial populations and expressed confidence that with sustained policy support, strategic partnerships and increased investment in innovation, the country’s MSMEs will become globally competitive enterprises capable of driving economic prosperity for generations to come.
He concluded by congratulating KEPSA, the Ministry of Co-operatives and MSME Development, development partners, financial institutions and all participating entrepreneurs for organising a conference that not only addressed the challenges facing MSMEs but also presented practical solutions that will shape the future of enterprise development in Kenya.
Housing and Urban Development Principal Secretary Charles Hinga continues to distinguish himself as one of Kenya’s most transparent, innovative and results-driven public servants. His prompt clarification regarding reports that contributors had withdrawn KSh 2.56 billion from the Affordable Housing Programme once again demonstrates his commitment to ensuring that Kenyans receive accurate information about one of the country’s flagship development initiatives.
By explaining that the reported amount largely represents Boma Yangu savings being applied towards the purchase of affordable homes, rather than contributors abandoning the programme, PS Hinga reaffirmed his dedication to openness and accountability. His clear communication helped dispel misinformation and reassured Kenyans that these transactions signify successful homeownership journeys—not a loss of confidence in the programme.
Under his visionary leadership, the Affordable Housing Programme has evolved beyond the construction of houses into a transformative national initiative that is expanding access to decent and affordable homes, creating thousands of jobs, stimulating local industries and promoting inclusive economic growth.
PS Hinga has consistently championed innovation, digital transparency and efficient service delivery, ensuring that the dream of homeownership becomes a reality for ordinary Kenyans. Through the Boma Yangu platform and other reforms, he has strengthened public confidence by making the home allocation process more transparent, accountable and accessible.
His ability to address public concerns promptly and factually reflects a leader who understands that trust is built through honesty, clarity and consistent engagement with citizens.
Indeed, Charles Hinga has become a driving force behind Kenya’s housing transformation. His visionary leadership, professionalism and unwavering commitment to delivering affordable, quality housing continue to inspire confidence that the programme will remain a cornerstone of the country’s social and economic development, bringing the dream of homeownership within reach of millions of Kenyans.
