Kenya: In Kisumu, Ruto's power base, Daisy Achieng says if Ruto’s ministers are not performing, the President should blame himself. “I’m not surprised he appointed his sycophants to serve us. Why is he complaining now?”
that Ruto’s decision to read the riot act to top government officials comes too late but was expected. “Ruto must regret rewarding his political allies, instead of settling on technocrats,” he says.With political talks between the opposition and government expected to start soon, Ruto might shake his cabinet and appoint technocrats from the opposition side to help him run the government, says Ochol.
“Ruto is realising he will be judged harshly by the electorate in 2027 if he fails to deliver,” he adds.We believe that Africa is poorly represented, and badly under-estimated. Beyond the vast opportunity manifest in African markets, we highlight people who make a difference; leaders turning the tide, youth driving change, and an indefatigable business community. That is what we believe will change the continent, and that is what we report on.

Almost Half of Kenya Govt Services Digitised Amid Hacking ThreatsKenya's information ministry has said that approximately 50% of government services have been fully digitised, to improve service delivery and reduce corruption.

The attack temporarily affected public access to over 5,000 government services on the e-Citizen portal but ICT Cabinet Secretary Eliud Owalo assured that no government data was lost in the attempted hacking.
