  • Malabo Montpellier Panel unveils practical guide to accelerate progress towards

    Kigali, November 30 2021 – The Malabo Montpellier Panel at AKADEMIYA2063 recently concluded the 9th edition of the biannual Malabo Montpellier Forum to offer a roadmap of policy innovations for food systems transformation, building resilience and adapting to climate change.

    The Forum promotes stakeholder dialogue against the backdrop of the
    COVID-19 pandemic and increasingly frequent and extreme climate change related weather
    events across the continent.

    Following the UN Food Systems Summit and the recently concluded COP26, the virtual Forum unveiled Recipes for success: policy innovations to transform Africa’s food systems and build resilience, a report summarizing seven of the
    Panel’s reports and over 50 country analyses published between 2017 and 2020, with renewed stakeholder appetite to absorb and implement the evidence-based guide for sustainable food systems transformation.

    With the continent poised to host COP27 next year, and amid the ongoing Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, now is the time to align the goals and ambitions of the continent’s food systems transformation and climate change agendas.

    “There is no greater urgency right now than to fix our food systems,” said Dr. Ousmane Badiane, AKADEMIYA2063 Executive Chairperson and Malabo Montpellier Panel Co-Chair.“Mindful of the advances over the last couple of decades, there is still so much more to be done in terms of the quality of progress, spanning ecosystem health, equality of growth and living conditions, reduction of vulnerability through for example social safety nets, improved health and nutrition and safeguarding livelihoods in the context of changing climates.


    Achieving these requires a lot of joint effort from various groups of actors, and this explains
    the mission of the Malabo Montpellier Panel in apprehending these intricacies through
    evidence-based research as the report provides a practical, evidence-based guide to support
    African countries’ efforts to accelerate progress towards ending hunger and transforming
    their food systems,” he said.

    “Recipes for success: policy innovations to transform Africa’s food systems and build resilience is not just a title of the volume released during the Forum; it captures our mission and strategy at the Malabo Montpellier Panel,” said Prof. Joachim von Braun, Malabo Montpellier Panel Co-Chair from the Center for Development Research, Bonn University in Germany. “We like to learn from successes, but we do take note of problems.

    The seven themes addressed in the monograph – nutrition, irrigation, mechanization, trade, digitization, energy, and livestock, are cornerstones of a well-functioning food system. But we do not treat them in isolation; we connect them to systems issues. Going forward, the true costs of food need to be identified and considered; the costs of malfunctioning food systems to public health and the environment must come down everywhere, notably in Africa. What we need are sustainable, efficient food systems that deliver on the African Union Agenda 2063 and
    the Sustainable Development Goals,” he said.

    The convening ended with a resounding call to action from Malabo Montpellier Forum Co-Chair, H.E. Assia Bensalah Alaoui, Ambassador-at-large of His Majesty Mohamed VI King of Morocco. “The centrality of food systems transformation and its multiple interconnections with key areas for the sustainability of mankind will offer more opportunities to our youth and populations at large, because they will stay on our continent and contribute with their talent to the transformation of Africa and the implementation of Agenda 2063,” she said.

  • I will return home shortly after CS Matiang’i order

    Embattled lawyer Miguna Miguna who could soon return to Kenya after the Interior ministry directed immigration officials at Kenyan embassies in Berlin, Germany, and Ottawa, Canada, to issue him with travel documents.

    Embattled lawyer Miguna Miguna could soon return to Kenya after the Interior ministry directed immigration officials at Kenyan embassies in Berlin, Germany, and Ottawa, Canada, to issue him with travel documents.

    In a letter to Law Society of Kenya president Nelson Havi, Solicitor-General Kennedy Ogeto said his office had advised the ministries of Interior and Foreign Affairs to obey court orders and allow Mr Miguna to return to Kenya.

    This advice, Mr Ogeto said, was anchored in a November 22 court order issued by Justice Hedwig Ong’udi allowing Mr Miguna to return.

    The judge directed that Mr Miguna obtain emergency travel documents from any Embassy or High Commission close to him within 72 hours.

    Aware that Mr Miguna’s passport was never returned to him when he was forcibly deported to Canada in February 2018, Justice Ong’udi ordered that he be allowed to use his national identity card for the journey.

    The High Court added that Mr Miguna should apply for a new passport as soon as he landed in Kenya. Officials had used the fact that he did not have a passport to block him from entering Kenya.

    Mr Miguna had always argued that an ID was enough to allow him to travel as it proved he was a Kenyan citizen and the State needed to facilitate his return.

    The court also directed Air France and other airlines to allow Mr Miguna to fly back to Kenya aboard their planes. This was a big win for the lawyer, whose last two attempts to return were hampered by red alerts issued by the State to the airlines, effectively blocking the planes from carrying him.

    But Mr Miguna’s struggles could now finally end if the Interior Ministry’s directives to Kenyan immigration officials in Germany and Canada are put into effect.

    According to Mr Ogeto’s letter, the only thing that Mr Miguna needs to do in order to get his travel documents is to fill out the required forms.

  • S.Africa’s last white president FW de Klerk dies

    S.Africa’s last white president FW de Klerk dies

    In Summary

    •Klerk was head of state between September 1989 and May 1994.

    •In 1990 he announced he was releasing anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela, leading to multi-party polls in 1994.

    FW de Klerk, South Africa’s last white president, has died aged 85, his foundation announced on Thursday. “It is with the deepest sadness that the FW de Klerk Foundation must announce that former President FW de Klerk died peacefully at his home in Fresnaye earlier this morning following his struggle again,” the statement said.

    The foundation had announced the diagnosis – a cancer that affects the lining of the lungs – in June. Mr. de Klerk is survived by his wife Elita, his children Jan and Susan and his grandchildren, the statement said.

    The former president was born in March 1936 in Johannesburg, into a line of Afrikaner politicians. He worked as a lawyer and served in a series of ministerial posts before taking over from PW Botha as the head of the National Party in February 1989.

    In a famous speech to parliament the following year, he announced that he was removing the ban on parties that included Mr. Mandela’s African National Congress (ANC). He also announced that Mr. Mandela would be released from prison after 27 years.

    His actions helped bring an end to apartheid-era South Africa, and he became one of the country’s two deputy presidents after the multi-party elections in 1994 that saw Mr. Mandela become president. He retired from politics in 1997 saying: “I am resigning because I am convinced it is in the best interest of the party and the country.”

    Although the relationship between Mr. de Klerk and Mr. Mandela was often punctuated by bitter disagreements, the new president described the man he succeeded as someone of great integrity. However, many black South Africans have blamed him for failing to curb violence during his time in power.

    Last year, he became embroiled in a row in which he was accused of playing down the seriousness of apartheid. He later apologised for “quibbling” over the matter.

  • AGRA President Receives Prestigious Plant Breeders Award for Her Dedication to Africa’s Agri-food Transformation

    KIGALI, Rwanda: October 26, 2021 – AGRA President H.E. Dr. Agnes Kalibata has today been
    conferred with the Distinguished Award for Meritorious Service by the African Plant Breeders
    Association (APBA) at the second Plant Breeders Conference (#APBACONF2021), currently taking
    place in Kigali, Rwanda. The award recognizes Dr. Kalibata’s contribution to the transformation of
    Africa’s agricultural and food systems.


    In his citation, APBA President H.E. Prof. Eric Yirenkyi Danquah recounted Dr. Kalibata’s commitment
    to fighting hunger and poverty in Africa, starting with her college days as a bachelor’s degree student
    in entomology and biochemistry, to her time as Rwanda’s Minister of Agriculture, and now as AGRA
    President. “In the six years you were Minister of Agriculture, Rwanda’s poverty dropped more than 20%. You
    grew the agricultural sector annual budget from US$10 million to US$150 million. Rwanda also
    became the first country to sign a compact under the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development
    Programme. You are heralded as one of the most successful Agriculture Ministers in sub-Saharan
    Africa,” read Prof. Danquah’s citation, in part.


    Dr. Kalibata served as Rwanda’s Minister of Agriculture and Animal Resources from 2008 to 2014,
    implementing a science-based approach to agriculture that greatly increased efficiency and
    productivity, and transformed Rwanda into a largely food-secure nation.


    Afterwards, she briefly served as the Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Institutional Advancement at the
    University of Rwanda before joining AGRA as its President in September 2014. At AGRA, she leads
    a team of more than 200 agricultural specialists across 11 priority countries to increase the access by
    farmers to high-quality farm inputs, financial support and markets. This is achieved through, among
    other ways strengthening agricultural policy development by governments and the establishment of
    beneficial partnerships with the private sector.


    The APBA recognition is the latest for Dr. Kalibata, who has been previously feted with the Yara Prize,
    (2012), honorary doctorates from the Universities of Liège (2018) and McGill University in (2019), and
    the Public Welfare Medal by the National Academy of Sciences (2019), amongst many others.
    In 2019, she was appointed by the UN Secretary-General as Special Envoy to the 2021 Food Systems
    Summit, which took place in New York, USA, last September. In this role, she worked with the United
    Nations system and key partners to provide leadership, guidance, and strategic direction towards the
    Summit.

  • UK cooperation in murder of Kenyan woman by British soldier

    The United Kingdom undertook on Sunday to leave no stone unturned until justice is served to the family of Kenyan woman killed by a British soldier in Nanyuki in 2012.

    Amid revelation that an infantryman who executed Agnes Wanjiru has been named by his army comrades, UK High Commissioner to Kenya Jane Marriott noted that senior military officers from the UK will be coming to Kenya in the coming weeks to discuss the incident and ‘UK support to the Kenyan investigation.’

    “I share the concern about the tragic death of Agnes Wanjiru in 2012 – my thoughts are with her family and the community. I can assure Kenyans that the UK is fully cooperating with the investigation and will help in any way we can.” She said

    According to Marriott, the UK’s Special Investigation Branch carried out initial enquiries in Kenya In 2012, including providing information about British personnel to Kenyan police. She however disclosed that no further requests were received at that time.

    “Following the conclusion of a Kenyan inquest in 2019, we understand that the Kenyan authorities are looking into the murder. We will support that Kenyan police investigation.” She said

    The top diplomat maintains that the conduct of the UK military in Kenya is incredibly important noting that they do a lot of good in Nanyuki, for the economy and the community.

    Even so, she acknowledges that Wanjiru’s murder brings to the fore the fact that there are issues that need to be addressed.

    The 21-year-old Wanjiru, said to have been a sex worker, was found dead after partying with the British troops 9 years ago. Her body was later located in a septic tank at a hotel in Nanyuki. A murder probe has been opened by the British Royal Military police amid calls to investigate a potential cover-up.

  • Kenya, Uganda trade wars escalates

    Kenya, Uganda trade wars escalates

    DP William Ruto chats with Uganda’s president Yoweri Museveni at Mubende state lodge in Uganda when he paid him a courtesy call in December 2019

    Deputy President William Ruto has asked Uganda President Yoweri Museveni to release trucks belonging to Kenyan fish exporters.

    The trucks were impounded three weeks ago together with fish valued at Sh50 million (Sh1.5 billion Uganda shillings) in Kasese district.

    According to the traders, who transport fresh fish from Lake Turkana to the Democratic Republic of Congo, the consignment was confiscated by the Uganda Fisheries Protection Unit on October 3 at Mpondwe border.

    Speaking from Busia, Ruto urged President Museveni to release the trucks unconditionally.

    “About the fish impounded in Uganda, I want to tell Museveni to release the lorries in the spirit of the East African Community and allow our traders to take the fish to its destination before they get bad. That is not bhang or illicit alcohol but genuine products that Kenyan traders were transporting,” said Ruto.

    He said fresh fish was highly perishable and if the standoff persists, the traders will incur huge losses.

    “We cannot claim we are good neighbours when we (Kenya) play our role and allow Uganda traders to do business in the country freely but our traders are arrested and slapped with punitive fines and their products confiscated across the border,” said Ruto.

    President Museveni and DP Ruto are friends.  The Deputy President said it was wrong for the Ugandan authorities to continue holding onto the consignment and yet an agreement had been reached to have the trucks released after traders blocked Busia border point last week.

    Angry traders blocked the Busia One stop border point in protest after the Uganda Fisheries Protection Unit (FPU) declined to release the impounded trucks on grounds that the fish that was being transported to DRC had been stolen from Lake Kyoga.

    Protesters had threatened to paralyse operation at the border point unless the trucks and consignment are released by Uganda authorities.

    “The Uganda military is a thorn in our flesh. They arrest us frequently without any valid reasons and arraign us in their courts where we are slapped with punitive fines. On this one, we are not going to relent until we have our fish released unconditionally,” said Yusuf Sefu, chairman Kenya Fish Traders Association.

    “We have closed this border to demand for the unconditional release of our trucks that were intercepted by the Ugandan military at the Mpondwe border post in Kasese,” explained Mr Sefu.

    He said the impounded fish had met all requisite certification from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA).

    “The fish was from Lake Turkana and not Lake Kyoga as it is being alleged,” argued the official. Sefu wondered why Uganda authorities were laying claim on the fish yet they could easily establish the origin of the fish.

    Calm was restored at the border point after Ugandan officials led by Busia Deputy Resident District Commissioner Mathew Tusubira met with their Kenyan counterparts led by Busia Kenya County Commissioner, John Korir recently.

    It was resolved that representatives from the two groups would meet and secure the release of the trucks but that has not happened.

    So far, affected traders have moved to court and sued the head of the Fisheries Protection Unit-FPU on Lake George and Edward Capt Musa Mugogo and Joyce Ikwaput Nyeko respectively,

    They also sued the acting Director of Fisheries Resources Management – Uganda and the country’s Attorney General who they want charged with malicious damage of property and theft.

  • Tetra Pack initiates Tree Planting Campaign

    Tetra Pack initiates Tree Planting Campaign

    Tetra Pack, a food processing and packaging solutions company has started its campaign to plant trees at the Oloolua forest.

    The exercise is an enactment of the company’s ongoing campaign ‘Go nature GO carton.

    Speaking during the event the National Environment Management Authority of Kenya (NEEMA) Director General Mamo Boru said that protecting and enhancing the quality of the environment is a divine duty to all human beings.

    “The greatest challenge we have at Oloolua is littering with the waste we generate yet we do not want to take responsibility for it,” said the Director General Boru.

    He added that Kenyans have a poor attitude towards the environment saying taking care of the environment is a constitutional provision.

    “I would like to call upon all other corporate companies to join us in enriching the forests by planting trees and nurturing them,” said Boru.

    The Director General revealed that the Ministry of Environment and Forestry has been working on the green spaces in Nairobi like the Michuki Park with the aim of making such places clean.

    “We are looking into mainstreaming environmental issues into the school curriculum in a programme dubbed greening of the school curriculum to create awareness among the children,” he added.

    Boru further stated that NEEMA is providing schools with waste bins so that they can learn to sort the waste at the point of generation.

    He urged the citizens to normalise sorting waste even before disposing it off as it will reduce unnecessary littering and encourage recycling.

    “NEEMA has already written to IEBC to ensure that the candidates who want to vie in the forthcoming elections commit to protecting the environment by avoiding littering the streets with posters,” Boru said.

    Boru warned that NEEMA will fine any aspirant who will be found guilty of littering and it will be mandatory for the candidates to put their commitment in writing.

    While giving her remarks Tetra Pack Marketing Director Jackline Kittony said that all their carton packaging comes from sustainably manned forests.

    “Our business solely relies on the forests hence it is our responsibility to plant trees and take care of the environment,” said Kittony.

    She stated that Tetra Pack is looking at neutralising carbon emission and envisions being 100 per cent compliant on renewable energy by 2030.

    Kittony revealed that the company is committed to protecting and preserving nature and has partnered with the Oloolua forest management to plant one million trees in the forest.

  • International Land Coalition Africa stresses the centrality of partnerships in protecting land rights and users

    At a hybrid press conference from Nairobi, International Land Coalition (ILC) Africa displays its plan for protecting community land rights environmental defenders which is among the premier and pioneer.

    On October 18, 2021 in Nairobi International Land Coalition (ILC) Africa has recapitulates that Africa Land Forum 2021 taking place October 26-28 under the theme “Achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Africa through partnerships for inclusive land governance” will mobilize different stakeholders to protect the land rights of communities and users.

    The platform that counts 76 members in 26 countries said it would bring together the region’s actors on land governance, including rural communities and women, to explore opportunities, and design new ways of addressing land-based communal violence, famine and climate change.

    Protecting women’s land rights is a top priority for Africa and the world.

    “We work for half of the world’s population, which are women; where land rights are respected, women’s income goes up 3.8 times higher, and everybody benefits including households,” Mike Taylor, ILC Director said from Rome during a virtual attendance adding that he has never met any government official that denying women land rights. 

    The forum will provide an opportunity to assess the strength of partnerships in the face of emerging needs in people-centered land governance. “The 2021 Forum will strengthen existing partnerships on land rights. We will introduce our national platforms, drivers of the SDGs at the country level, through a multi-stakeholder approach,” Audace Kubwimana, ILC Africa Regional Coordinator said.

    The African Union declared the Year 2021 as The AU Year of the Arts, Culture and Heritage as Land is part of Africa’s cultural heritage where Africa’s art and cultural heritage will help forge regional cooperation and foster innovative and bold solutions to regain the drawbacks from COVID-19.

    Dr. Janet Edeme, Head of the African Union Commission’s Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Blue Economy and Sustainable Development talked of demographic changes and conflict on the current situations makes us think forward and straight “Demographic changes and conflict on the continent are making us re-think how land can be better used, leveraging our cultural identity, to advance the progress of Member States,” said Dr. Janet Edeme.

    He however added that, land is more than an economic resource in some part of history as the African Union Commission hopes that collaboration with International Land Coalition in Africa will help realize the Africa wanted.

    Regional Economic Communities assists in advancing the AU’s mandate on land governance. The Intergovernmental Authority for Development (IGAD) has been walking the road with ILC to guarantee people-centered land governance, but more remains to be done.

    Esther Obaikol, Land Governance Expert at IGAD speaking on the position of the IGAD in the region as the most conflict-prone with high levels of land degradation and climate change the region of Africa terming land as the most important resource ”We want to use the two most important resources we have which is land, on the one hand, and people, on the other, to improve the standard of living of the people in the IGAD region,” Esther Obaikol said.

    Indigenous Peoples have been experiencing intensive land grabbing over the past few years as activist Amina Amharech indicated that Policies based on colonial laws do not respect the rights of indigenous peoples giving statistics that Today just 1% of land is occupied by Indigenous Peoples in the world and on farming activities for Indigenous Peoples do not go beyond 2 hectares as they cannot realize the SDGs with this with hopes the coming forum on land will also address the issue.

    With the murder of Joannah Stutchbury, the plight of environmental and land defenders became a burning issue. Through the Natural Justice, ILC Africa has set up the African Environmental Defenders Fund, a platform that enables defenders to highlight their plight and receive support. The same applies to communities as they strive to defend themselves which is the only such resource on the continent today according to Samuel Nguiffo, representing ILC Africa members.

    ILC Africa’s broader work extends to participatory rangelands management, youth access to land, family farming, data development in the land sector, ecosystems, food systems, to name but a few.

    ILC Africa also said that this year’s Forum will be a pre-event of the 2021 Conference on Land Policy in Africa.

  • President Uhuru Kenyatta in New York

    H.E President Uhuru Kenyatta in New York Charing United Nations Security Council Session

    President Uhuru Kenyatta arrived in New York on Sunday for a two-day working visit of the US during which he is scheduled to chair a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) high-level open debate on diversity, state-building and peace.

    Having assumed her position as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council on the 1st of January this year for two years, Kenya currently holds the monthly rotational presidency of the Council for October 2021.

    Kenya’s Permanent Representative to the UN Amb Martin Kimani, Kenya’s overriding agenda at the UN Security Council is to offer ideas and solutions to global peace and security in areas such as the Horn of Africa and the troubled Sahel region.

    “The Security Council is a body that has the mandate to solve major challenges, but for many reasons has been unable to do so. We have ideas on how to do that, we have experience in building peace in our region and we bring those ideas and perspectives to the Council.

    “Kenya is suggesting innovations on how to approach particular conflict situations,” Amb Kimani said, adding that the country is encouraging the UN Security Council to work closely with Africa.

    Alongside his meeting at the UNSC, the Head of State is scheduled to hold bilateral talks with the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and witness the signing of a trade agreement between Kenya’s private sector and a consortium of American companies during his two-day vacation.

    In the assemblage with Mr Guteress, the President and the UN boss are expected to discuss several subjects of mutual interest to Kenya and the UN among them the global response to Covid-19.

    “Kenya has been very specific on the steps it expects the United Nations to take particularly concerning the Covid-19 pandemic vaccination, peace and security and how the world should get to COP26 in a month. How the world responds to climate change is key to Kenya’s future prosperity,” Amb Kimani said.

    On the business agreement, Amb Kimani said President Kenyatta while in New York witnessed the signing of a new initiative between the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) and the Corporate Council on Africa, the largest umbrella body of US companies operating in Africa.

    The business agreement seeks to enhance collaboration between Kenyan companies, especially the small and medium enterprises (SME’s) with their American counterparts in a deliberate Government effort to create more jobs and employment opportunities for Kenya’s youth.

    Further, President Kenyatta is scheduled to participate in the Global Leaders’ high-level discussion organized by the International Peace Institute (IPI) as a platform for world leaders to discuss contemporary subjects.

    The President will be joined in the discussion by former Permanent Representative of Jordan to the United Nations Prince Zeid Raad Al Hussein to talk about the UN Secretary General’s Common Agenda report.
