I had a cup of tea with my old man today. My treat. It's been a while since we last had a chat. He walked in about 7 minutes late. He had called promptly on time to apologise that he'd be running late. He apologises again as he takes the mask off his face.

Imagine disrupting an entire hospital's operations and blocking the roads surrounding it because the president is coming there to open a facility 😡 hata emergencies to wait for these shenanigans
Joshua Momanyi, a clerical officer at the Directorate of Education Offices (Kakamega), created an imaginary Mundeku Secondary School & listed it as GoK school, opened a bank account & gave it 1000+ learners. Each year, his account received millions for "free secondary education"

Please, stop wishing women strength when there's not enough strength to overcome the expansive structural violence that holds society Instead, wish women better; inclusive, equal, safe and accountable structures so they dont have to be strong. Wish women their full humanity🌼💜

Rachel, thanks for your kind words! Count on me to continue pushing evidence-based policymaking. There’s a lot to do to understand private sector interventions that reduce poverty. I know I can count on you & other friends (, ) to help make it happen.

Fantastic news! @Diop_WB has been a strong voice for evidence based international development for years. As Country Director for Kenya he was an early advocate for investing in rigorous evidence, as VP for Africa he always managed to fit in a few academic conferences....inspiring twitter.com/IFC_org/status…

#BREAKING Polls are set to open in 48 hours across the US as the authoritarian regime of Donald Trump attempts to consolidate its hold over the troubled, oil-rich, nuclear-armed, north American nation. Analysts are sceptical the election will end months of political violence.
