President Ruto to Assent to Meteorology Bill Transforming Kenya Meteorological Department into Authority His Excellency the President Dr William Ruto has assent to the Meteorology Bill, paving the way for the transformation of the Kenya Meteorological Department into the Kenya Meteorological Service Authority (KMSA). The new law marks a significant milestone in strengthening Kenya’s weather and climate services by establishing an autonomous authority mandated to regulate, coordinate, and deliver meteorological services across the country. Once operational, the Kenya Meteorological Service Authority will enhance the provision of accurate and timely weather and climate information to support key sectors of the economy, including agriculture, aviation, water resource management, and disaster risk reduction. Environment and Climate Change Principal Secretary Dr Eng Festus K Ng'eno said the transition will also strengthen Kenya’s early warning systems and improve the country’s capacity to respond to climate-related hazards such as floods, droughts, and severe storms. The establishment of the Authority aligns Kenya with international best practices in meteorological governance and supports global initiatives such as the Early Warnings for All programme championed by the World Meteorological Organization. The new Authority will provide a stronger institutional framework for delivering reliable weather forecasts, climate data, and advisory services critical for safeguarding lives, protecting infrastructure, and supporting climate-resilient development. Stakeholders in the climate and environmental sectors have welcomed the move, noting that the new authority will enhance coordination of meteorological services and strengthen Kenya’s leadership in climate information services within the region. The transformation of the Kenya Meteorological Department into the Kenya Meteorological Service Authority is expected to modernize operations, improve service delivery, and expand partnerships to ensure weather and climate information reaches all Kenyans.

It is dangerous especially once consumers realize they were misled, trust in environmental claims declines. People may even begin to doubt legitimate sustainability initiatives. #Stopgreenwashing

#ESGUPDATE Greenwashing is no longer a PR risk - it’s a governance failure. As ESG expectations rise, organizations must move beyond claims to credible strategy, measurable impact, and transparent reporting. This will be a key conversation at the upcoming ESG Executive Program
