I also held engagements with several Kenyan Members of Parliament on the sidelines of the @NABShow in New York, including Hon. Erastus Kivasu Nzioka (Mbooni), Hon. Joseph Kamau Munyoro (Kigumo), Hon. @CGisairo (Kitutu Masaba) and Hon. Richard Kipkemoi Yegon (Bomet East). The interactions provided an opportunity to exchange views and reflect on the role of technology, broadcasting and digital communication in advancing national development as highlighted at the NAB Show.

Later on in the day, I made a courtesy call to the Kenya Consulate in New York, where we discussed Kenya’s preparations to host the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Nairobi, including international engagement, logistics and efforts to mobilise participation for the global meeting. We also exchanged views on emerging Artificial Intelligence governance issues, including the need for coordinated international approaches and stronger safeguards for children in the digital environment.

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞, 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐤𝐞𝐩𝐭! Joined learners and teachers at Kisii Comprehensive School this morning for the National Classroom Experience of the Digital Literacy Programme Phase II. Following H.E. President Dr @WilliamsRuto national launch of the Digital Class Experience yesterday at Kiminini Junior School, schools across all 47 counties today joined in showcasing how technology is transforming learning. In Kisii, 329 Junior Schools across all 11 sub-counties are receiving an Interactive Smart Board and a laptop each, with 658 devices being delivered. In the next phase, which is scheduled for February 2027, a further 391 schools will benefit, bringing digital learning closer to more learners across the county. Today’s Grade 7 class in Kisii Comprehensive School was linked live with schools in Siaya, Homa Bay, Migori, Nyamira, Vihiga and Busia, a powerful demonstration of how connectivity can bridge distance and bring classrooms together. Across Kisii, 250 kilometres of fibre have also been installed, connecting 179 institutions, alongside 32 public Wi-Fi hotspots. This is the digital transformation we promised: equipping our children with the tools, skills and connectivity they need to learn, innovate and seize opportunities.

Visited the @KenyaNewsAgency (KNA) offices at Uchumi House this afternoon and engaged with the staff on strengthening the work of Government Information Officers. KNA plays an important role in gathering and disseminating information from across the country, with County Information Officers stationed in all 47 counties to ensure that stories and developments from our communities are brought to the national platform. We reflected on how we can better support and equip our information officers to strengthen the quality, reach and effectiveness of Government communication. I was accompanied by Mr Temesi Mukani, the Secretary, Information and Broadcasting.

Participated in the 2nd National Development Implementation Committee Meeting of 2026 at the Kenya School of Government, chaired by the Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, @MusaliaMudavadi The meeting provided an opportunity to take stock of the implementation of Government priorities under BETA, while also reviewing preparedness for the expected El Niño rains and measures to support the millions of learners undertaking national examinations. Our focus remains on ensuring that Government commitments are translated into tangible outcomes for Kenyans. This requires sustained implementation, resolving emerging challenges and strengthening coordination across Government. Moving forward, our measure of success must be the difference Kenyans experience in their everyday lives, better services, greater opportunities and improved livelihoods.
