Ruto Offers To Host New Japan Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi

 


President William Ruto has extended an invitation to Japan’s newly elected Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, emphasizing his desire to strengthen the Kenya-Japan partnership in addressing global challenges and fostering sustainable development.

  He expressed his congratulations to Prime Minister Takaichi on her historic election, describing it as a significant vote of confidence in her leadership and a notable achievement for Japan’s democracy.   "Your victory serves as a testament to the trust placed in your vision, leadership, and steadfast dedication to the advancement and prosperity of the Japanese populace." "As you take on this esteemed responsibility, I wish to reiterate Kenya’s unwavering commitment to the strategic partnership between our two nations. Kenya greatly appreciates the generous development assistance that Japan continues to provide across various sectors of our national priorities," the Head of State remarked. President Ruto utilized the letter to reaffirm Kenya’s dedication to its strategic relationship with Japan and made an early appeal for enhanced bilateral cooperation in critical areas, including economic development, peace and security, and collaboration on global matters. "The productive discussions I had with your predecessor during the highly successful Ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD 9), along with the jointly endorsed TICAD 9 Declaration, reaffirm our mutual determination to elevate Kenya-Japan relations to even greater levels. My involvement in TICAD 9 offered an excellent opportunity to build on the outcomes of my previous visit to Japan in February 2024, which aimed at promoting private sector-led initiatives for our mutual benefit," he stated. The President’s letter was sent shortly after Takaichi, a staunch conservative and protégé of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, secured her position through a coalition formed between the ruling LDP party and the right-wing Japan Innovation Party.

Pressure is increasing on the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to relocate Principal Hellen Mabese Luhangala of Tengecha Girls High School

Image
As the third term approaches its conclusion, stakeholders at Tengecha Girls High School in Kericho County are fervently urging the TSC to facilitate the transfer of Principal Hellen Mabese Luhangala.   In a conversation with Citizen Daily News, conducted under strict anonymity due to concerns of retaliation, parents and certain members of the local community assert that Hellen has remained in her position for an extended period without any visible development projects to demonstrate her leadership. The local community is now requesting that the TSC appoint a new principal in January, ideally someone who is a “daughter of the soil.” They allege that she has become adept at leading through authoritarian methods, coercion, intimidation, and threats against those who oppose her alleged involvement in corrupt practices, which have resulted in the misappropriation of public funds during her tenure. Furthermore, it is reported that she employs intimidation tactics against members of th...

The financial mismanagement at ENOOMATASIANI GIRLS SECONDARY SCHOOL has been brought to light.

Image
  The most recent report from the Auditor General for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, has uncovered mismanagement at Enoomatasiani High School under the administration of Principal Tabitha Mbabu (TSC No. 224359). There are calls for her transfer over mismanagement and not very impressive academic excellence under her leadership. As per the report, the statement of receipts and payments indicates that the school's fund income from parents' contributions amounts to Kshs. 89,627,445, as detailed in Note 4 of the financial statements. An examination of the school's fee structure during the review period revealed that the school fees were raised beyond the limits set by the Ministry of Education (MOE), resulting in an unauthorized increase in annual fees of Kshs. 15,000 for form one students and Kshs. 18,000 for students in other classes. This action contravenes Regulation 44 of the Basic Education Regulations, 2015, which stipulates that no public school or instit...
