I was invited to Kenya by @bharatthakrar (BT) to join his company @WPPScangroup in 2010. BT and I disagreed on several issues over the years, but he was clear: keep the clients and the business growing, and he would not interfere but help you grow. He kept his promise. My team saw growth, I grew, and I worked the longest stint of my career at WPP Scangroup—13 long years. I made Kenya my home, made several friends, and built a life in Kenya.

It is rare for a young man from a remote part of our country such as Bamba in Ganze, Kilifi County, to rise to the distinguished office of Principal Secretary. Youth PS Fikirini Jacobs journey is a powerful testament to the limitless potential that exists in every corner of Kenya. We, therefore, have every reason to thank God for the opportunity He has granted PS Fikirini to serve our nation. His appointment reflects our firm belief that leadership and excellence are not defined by one’s background, but by commitment, integrity, and service to the people. His rise also demonstrates our administration’s unwavering conviction that young people have the capacity to make meaningful and transformative contributions to the development and progress of our country. In the short period we have worked together, PS Fikirini has distinguished himself as a focused, hardworking, and passionate leader, particularly in championing the interests and aspirations of young people. We are proud of PS Fikirini as a servant of the people of Kenya. As leaders, we will continue to support and mentor him as he grows into an even greater leader of our nation and for future generations.

Today at Nakasero, I met Mr. Aliko Dangote and we discussed the proposed East African regional refinery. I informed him that from the very beginning, we have always opposed the export of raw materials without value addition. That is why Uganda delayed oil production because we insisted on first having a refinery. Without refining our oil, it would not make economic or strategic sense to simply export crude oil while others benefit from the finished products. I, therefore, welcomed the idea of a bigger regional refinery because our objective is African integration and shared prosperity. We cannot continue operating as fragmented and weak markets. If East Africa works together, such projects become more viable and beneficial to our people. Uganda is ready to support the regional refinery initiative while also continuing with the development of our own refinery in Hoima.

The Google Threat Intelligence Group has detected the first known instance of a threat actor using an AI-developed zero-day exploit in the wild. While the attackers planned a wide-scale strike, our proactive counter-discovery may have prevented that from happening. This finding is part of our new report on AI-powered threats.

I’ve always believed the No.1 application of AI should be to improve human health. That work started with AlphaFold, and now at @IsomorphicLabs with the mission to reimagine drug discovery and one day solve all disease! We are turbocharging that goal with $2.1B in new funding.

We finally have a figure on how much KCB paid for Riverbank Solutions: — KCB Group acquired 75% of Riverbank Solutions Limited for KES 1.44B in December 2025. — Riverbank’s 2025 revenue and loss before tax would have been KES 248M and KES 212M, respectively, if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2025 —No revenue or profit was consolidated into KCB’s FY25 accounts as the amounts were considered immaterial.

I had the misfortune of being in Katani today, and I can’t believe the county and NEMA let some things slide. Living there might need a HEPA filter.
