Kenyans living and working abroad have urged the government to improve the investment environment in the country to enable them to contribute more to the national development. They said that the government should address the challenges and barriers that hinder them from investing in various sectors of the economy, such as real estate, agriculture, energy, infrastructure, and IT.
The Kenyans in diaspora made their appeal during the Kenya Diaspora Homecoming Convention, which was held from December 13 to 15 at the Kenyatta International Conference Center (KICC) in Nairobi. The convention, organized by the Kenya Diaspora Alliance (KDA), brought together over 1,000 participants from different countries to network, learn, and showcase investment opportunities.
The convention also featured speakers from the government, private sector, civil society, and academia, who shared their insights and experiences on various topics, such as governance, public-private partnerships, social justice, economic empowerment, environmental sustainability, and youth engagement.
The KDA chairman, Shem Ochuodho, said that the convention was aimed at creating a platform for dialogue and collaboration between the diaspora and the government, as well as other stakeholders, to harness the potential of the diaspora for national transformation. He said that the diaspora remits over Sh200 billion annually, making it the largest source of foreign exchange for the country.
However, he said that most of the remittances go to consumption rather than investment, due to the lack of trust, transparency, and accountability in the investment environment. He said that the government should create a conducive and enabling environment for the diaspora to invest in the country, by providing incentives, protection, and facilitation.
He also said that the government should recognize and appreciate the role and contribution of the diaspora to the country’s development, and involve them in policy making and implementation. He said that the diaspora has a wealth of knowledge, skills, and networks that can be leveraged to enhance the country’s competitiveness and innovation.
The Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary, Roseline Njogu, who represented the government at the convention, said that the government values and respects the diaspora as an important partner in the country’s development agenda. She said that the government has taken several measures to improve the investment environment for the diaspora, such as establishing a diaspora policy, a diaspora department, a diaspora portal, and a diaspora council.
She also said that the government has facilitated the provision of consular services, such as registration, documentation, and identification, to the diaspora. She also said that the government has supported the diaspora in accessing opportunities in various sectors, such as trade, tourism, education, health, and culture.
She urged the diaspora to take advantage of the opportunities and incentives offered by the government, and to invest in the country’s development. She also urged them to participate in the country’s governance, and to uphold the values and principles of the Constitution. She assured them of the government’s commitment and support to address their issues and concerns.

COPPERBELT Minister Elisha Matambo has implored local authorities in the province to lead communities on measures to take in order to enhance food security in the face of climate change.
Mr Matambo said enhanced food security did not only improve nutrition but was also a source for job opportunities. He said this during the commemoration of Local Government week held under the theme ‘Making food security a key priority for territorial development and cooperation’.
He urged councils and communities to ensure that value addition was realised.
He also urged cooperatives to leverage on the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) to see how best they could improve income through food production.
“It is important to add value to food by investing in value addition so that crops do not go to waste,” he said.
Mr Matambo also reiterated the Government’s commitment to ensure decentralisation was achieved which would drive development and urged communities to participate in development.
Ndola Mayor Jones Kalyati said the Local Government week was commemorated to inform the public on the importance of local government, decentralization and the progress recorded.

Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Sirajul Haq has expressed dissatisfaction with the government’s decision to launch a military offensive in North Waziristan Agency without taking other political parties in confidence.
Addressing party workers in Lahore, the JI chief said that people were kept in the dark about the NWA operation.
“No one, including the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government, was taken into confidence over the military offensive. If the government resorts to taking unilateral decisions, it will remain alone,” he said.
He insisted that dialogue should have continued, despite obstacles.
Siraj said it was challenging for the people to leave their native areas and live in camps in the tough summer conditions.
“Politics have been turned into a business. Political terrorism is going on for the past 65 years,” he said.
Haq said that social welfare organisations must help those affected by the NWA operation, adding that a campaign should be started to administer ‘anti-corruption’ drops to political leaders.


Greta Thunberg, the popular Swedish climate activist, has voiced her support to students who will have to attend the examinations if held.
National Eligibility cum Entrance Test( NEET) 2020 and Joint Entrance Examination (JEE Main) 2020 have been scheduled to take place in September 2020.

“It’s deeply unfair that students of India are asked to sit for national exams during the Covid-19 pandemic and while millions have also been impacted by the extreme floods,” Greta Thunberg said.
Extending her support to students fighting against this issue, the climate activist said, “I stand with their call to #PostponeJEE_NEETinCOVID.”

İrem GÖL -TDO- French Minister of Health Olivier Veran announced that France would extend the health emergency imposed to fight the new coronavirus pandemic for another two months until July 24. The emergency had begun on the 24th of March. Veran said: “We are going to have to perform a long-distance run.” It is thought that lifting the emergency now would be premature and carry the risk of intensifying outbreak.
Government spokeswoman Sibeth Ndiaye said the bill would go before the Senate on Monday and the National Assembly most probably the day after. It is expected to become law by the end of the week. Minister Veran said travellers to France, including French citizens returning home, will face a compulsory two-week quarantine and possible isolation when they arrive in the country.
The government has announced the gradual lifting of some lockdown measures by May 11, including reopening the primary schools. Many shops will also reopen, and remote-working staff will be able to return to offices as France battles the economic effect of the coronavirus that has already pushed the country into recession.

Police officers in Kaoma have been accused of shielding criminals that were terrorizing them and breaking into their offices.
Residents told the Daily Nation that some officers were aiding criminals that were breaking and stealing from offices apart from killing innocent people.
A resident Mr Chonde said crime incidents in the area had increased because criminals were operating with impunity because officers who were supposed to protect the citizens were instead turning a blind eye to the criminal activities.
Last week, he said, some criminals broke into the Zampost offices after striking the watchman with a hammer. They tried to steal money from the cashier’s office but the guard who survived the assault sounded the alarm which led to the arrest of some suspects.
Surprisingly, he said the suspects were released from custody by police officers in very unclear circumstances “this has brought fear among innocent people.”
The residents have since accused police officers of covering up for criminals and that it would appear the officers were working hand in hand with the criminals.
The community was traumatised by the incident and were very suspicious of police intentions said the decision to construct a police post at the Post Office was a cover up to ensure that people did not report that the suspects who were trying to steal from the Post Office have been released.
And a police officer who sought anonymity told the Daily Nation that members of the public were saddened by the activities by some of his workmates on the way they treated the suspects.
The officer said it was unfortunate that even innocent officers who did not know what happened on that particular evening were being implicated.
He described as sad the event because it was not the first time that the Post office was under being attacked.
The officer said a similar incident occurred in 2010 were over K50 million was stolen but investigations have not yield positive results.
And a senior officer at the Post Office confirmed the two incidents.

GOVERNMENT should halt the export of maize because with the floods that are being experienced in some parts of the country, a bumper harvest was not guaranteed, Small-Scale Farmers Development Agency (SAFADA) executive director Boyd Moobwe has said.
Mr Moobwe said that floods that were being experienced in most parts of the country especially in the southern part where fields were washed away, would negatively affect the yields this year.
He said that the current situation was a threat to national food security because the areas that had been affected by the floods were the maize belts of the country. Mr Moobwe said the government assured the nation that the country had enough maize in stock but that would not be the case because allowing the private sector to export was going to drain the reserves.
He said the government was allowing export of maize on the premise that the country was going to record a bumper harvest but indications had shown the opposite because of climate change.
Mr Moobwe said the government needed to assess local consumption critically before they could allow the private sector to start exporting the grain.
He said the Ministry of Agriculture needed to do a crop focus to see how much was going to be produced in the country under the current climatic conditions before they could allow the private sector to continue exporting maize.
Mr Moobwe said that after the crop focus the ministry would have proper information on how much could be produced this year despite the floods.
Meanwhile, Mr Moobwe commended the government through the Disaster Management Mitigation Unit for helping the families that were affected by the floods with relief food.

The cost of being uninsured in the United States is a growing concern for many individuals and families. With the rising cost of health care, the number of uninsured Americans is on the rise. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 28.5 million people in the United States were uninsured in 2018.
The cost of being uninsured can be significant. Uninsured individuals are more likely to delay or forgo medical care due to the cost. This can lead to more serious health problems down the road, as well as higher medical bills. Uninsured individuals are also more likely to be hospitalized for preventable conditions, such as diabetes or asthma.
In addition to the financial costs, being uninsured can also have a significant impact on an individual’s mental health. Studies have shown that uninsured individuals are more likely to experience depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.
The cost of being uninsured can also be felt by the entire community. Uninsured individuals are more likely to use emergency rooms for medical care, which can lead to higher costs for everyone. Uninsured individuals are also more likely to be hospitalized for preventable conditions, which can lead to higher costs for the entire health care system.
Fortunately, there are options available for those who are uninsured. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) provides subsidies to help individuals and families purchase health insurance. Additionally, many states have expanded Medicaid coverage, which provides health insurance to low-income individuals and families.
It is important to understand the cost of being uninsured and the options available to help individuals and families obtain health insurance. Being uninsured can have a significant impact on an individual’s health, finances, and mental health. It is important to explore all available options to ensure that individuals and families have access to the health care they need.


Hector Bellerin says that both Unai Emery and Mikel Arteta are great coaches, but that the team are more united under the new boss, and the clarity of his instructions mean they understand what to do on the pitch.
The right-back was speaking at the Gunners training camp in Dubai, and was asked what the key differences were between the new man and the former coach who was sacked last November.
“They’re both great coaches,” said the right-back told local media, “and there are so many differences in the way we work.
“You can see how united the dressing room is now and the idea of playing might have been a bit blurred before.
“Now, Mikel has a foundation that we know what to do in every single situation, the aim right now is for us players to recognise what the situation is and make the most of it.”
Bellerin becomes the third player in recent days to suggest that things under Emery were far from optimal.
“Right now, everybody knows tactically that we’re improving,” he said. “It’s just two months that Mikel has been here, and we have improved a lot tactically.”
The next step is to turn some of the many draws into ones, and Hector is sure that will happen as the team continues to grow.

Kolkata: Prior to the crucial 2016 Bidhan Sabha polls in West Bengal, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is banking on people’s discontent against the ruling party and is to launch a drive to highlight TMC misrule in the state.
BJP’s state committee observer Kailah Vijay Bargi today said that his party would soon launch a movement in all the districts of West Bengal to highlight the “misdeeds” by Trinamool Congress ahead of 2016 Assembly elections.
Lambasting the TMC for its “bhrastachar” (corruption), Bargi said that people had voted the party to power expecting a transparent and clean administration.
“But in reality, anti-socials dominated the party and the district administration including District Magistrates and Superintendents of Police, had been reduced to doing the ruling party’s bidding,” Bargi said.
Alleging that leaders, workers and ministers of the TMC were involved in the Saradha scam, Bargi said he was confident that the CBI probe would unearth this.
Stating that the BJP would contest the Assembly elections in the state on the development plank, Bargi alleged that apart from mis-governance, no development had taken place in the state under the ruling dispensation.
Claiming that there was lack of infrastructure in the state, the BJP leader came down heavily on the “deplorable” condition of the roads.
Bargi held a meeting here with party functionaries of the three districts — Maldah, North Dinajpur and South Dinajpur.

The main opposition UNP today charged the government of having wasted its time and money on unnecessary expenses to win the rights to host the Commonwealth games and on other unnecessary expenses rather than essential things like providing farmer pensions.
UNP spokesman and MP Gayantha Karunatilleke told a news conference that Rs.40 billion was to be spent for the Commonwealth Games at the cost of many essential things and that Rs.100 million was spent just for the bidding to host the games.
He charged that the Sri Lankan delegation of 200 persons including Ministers who went for the final vote in the West Indies had come back empty handed. “The ministers who go abroad have to come empty handed today while they find it hard to avoid various questions raised by the international community regarding the country,” he said pointing out that they have to face many hurdles on that score.
He also said that unlike today, the Ministers of Yesteryear always returned with many achievements on offshore official tours pointing out instances of former ministers such as A. C. S. Hameed, Gamini Dissanayake and Lakshman Kadirgamar.
Mr. Karunatilleke said the government had engaged itself with a number of other unnecessary affairs such as holding investigations against the Former Chief Justice Sarath N. Silva and finding ways and means to extend the jail sentence of former army commander Sarath Fonseka. (By Yohan Perera)

We contribute to sustainable production and consumption by supporting organisations to minimize the negative impact of their activities on the environment while helping them have positive influence on their host communities through sustainable environmental and social responsibility initiatives.
By viewing environmental accountability as a human rights issue, we work closely with relevant government agencies and production companies, educating them on the human rights infringements posed by environmental impacts of production processes while supporting them to enhance the complementary relationship between promoting and protecting human rights and achieving sustainable economic growth;building strong institutions and systems.
In order to reduce socio-economic inequalities, we also enable the host communities so they can have the ability and means to assert, protect and monitor their rights with the knowledge and skills to meaningfully participate in the decision making processes that determine their future, and for them to equitably share in the benefits that their environment offers.
All these we do also ensure that the companies make more profits from brand awareness, loyalty and minimized costs. So far, we have been able to help three businesses we have worked with increase their profits by 30%, 12% and 19% respectively across the agriculture, fashion and corporate sectors.

KUALA LUMPUR: A government backbencher has urged the government to engage civil servants more to ensure the success of the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP).
Khoo Poay Tiong (PH-Kota Melaka) said in the Dewan Rakyat that the government should listen to civil servants’ views to win their hearts for unity government initiatives.
“This (the civil service) is like a company. If we have already hired employees, but the employees do not support the employer, how can these plans and projects be carried out smoothly?” Khoo said when debating the 12MP mid-term review.
He said that the state polls’ results in Selangor, Penang, Negeri Sembilan, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu last month saw most army and police officers supporting Perikatan Nasional.
Thus, Khoo said, engaging civil servants would also help the unity government gain their support.
Ilham Centre’s executive director Hisommudin Bakar had previously said that according to the think tank’s research, voting patterns in last month’s state elections showed that civil servants were more supportive of PN.
He said that judging from their interviews, the civil servants were still mentally trapped in PN chairman Muhyiddin Yassin’s era, when he was prime minister from 2020 until 2021.
Meanwhile, in an episode of the “Keluar Sekejap” podcast, former Umno information chief Shahril Hamdan said that PN’s selection of former civil servants as election candidates reflected the strong support establishment members had for the opposition coalition.
He said the trend was evident from the voting patterns of the police and military servicemen, and from PN’s success in winning the Putrajaya parliamentary seat from Barisan Nasional.
