The audience applauded his practical advice.
Chiwenga stressed that Zimbabwe must boost productivity as it moves from National Development Strategy 1 to Strategy 2. He wants to remove barriers holding back full private sector involvement in the economy. The country needs targeted efforts to make industries more...
Flash floods swept away two people Tuesday night in Narok Central as they tried crossing a flooded area. Police Commander John Momanyi said the seasonal river carried them off during their crossing attempt. Community members worked with police to find the bodies, which were taken to Naivasha Sub-County Hospital. The police chief warned residents against crossing flooded areas during rainy seasons. These deaths happened as weather experts predict heavy rainfall across most parts of Kenya this week.
Lightning struck eight cows sheltering under a tree in Mararianta village, Narok West sub-county. The animals belonged to Peter Sasiet, who had them take cover during a heavy downpour. Rivers throughout the county have filled after two weeks...
A federal judge told the Trump team to give back all jobs at Voice of America. The court said cutting more than 1300 workers broke the law. President Trump called the broadcaster anti-Trump before he fired staff. VOA started during World War II against Nazi messages.
Judge Royce Lamberth noted that VOA stopped reporting news for the first time in 80 years. He ordered workers returned to their positions at VOA, Radio Free Asia, and Middle East Broadcasting Networks. The case showed that the White House ignored harm to employees around the world. VOA White House reporter Patsy Widakuswara expects the government will appeal despite her gratitude for the ruling.
Trump often attacks media outlets he believes show bias against him. After...
Kenyan President William Ruto spoke against the UN Security Council structure during his talk at Peking University. He claimed the group has lost its standing because some members act against peace goals. One member nation invaded another country despite its role as a peacekeeper, he noted. The permanent member countries only became acceptable leaders after World War II ended.
Ruto added that these nations refuse changes even as their power appears less fair today. His comments match those of UN leader Antonio Guterres about reforming this outdated system. Guterres pushed for Africa to hold a permanent seat since African nations lack proper representation. The current permanent members include China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom...

Uganda state minister Evelyn Anite spoke openly about her past spending habits as a politician. She admitted taking 100 million shillings from her bank, driving to Koboko district, and using all that cash within two days without tracking where it went. Her candid interview with NTV revealed she once spent 500 million shillings in just one week in her West Nile constituency. People approached her expecting money before they even asked, creating an automatic response where she reached for cash immediately.
She described giving money at road projects, women's groups, motorcycle taxi stands, schools, and random people she passed. Anite recalled putting 5 million shillings in her bag and walking from home, handing out about 50,000 shillings...
Major John Kazoora died April 21 at age 67 after falling out with President Museveni over term limits. He served as one of the NRA's bush war heroes before their friendship ended in 2005. Parliament had voted to remove presidential term limits against his wishes.
Kazoora wrote about the betrayal in his book. He claimed Museveni lied in his 2001 campaign when promising a final term. Some NRM leaders gave lawmakers money before the vote, which many saw as bribes. Kazoora joined 53 others opposing the change, but 220 MPs supported lifting term limits.
The president attacked Kazoora publicly at various events, calling him a puppy, a traitor, a masquerader, a saboteur, a wolf in sheep's clothing. Museveni tried forcing him from parliament...
