History doesn’t forget who could read the room. A few months ago, Paul Mwangi & Dennis Onyango told Citizen TV that Edwin Sifuna’s “militant” wing was Raila’s actual exit strategy from the Ruto deal. Tumbocrats laughed& said he didn’t matter in ODM’s negotiating matrix. Look at them now. ODM is on life support as Linda Mwananchi rises.

Today, I inaugurated the Project Steering Committee (PSC) for the GEF-8 Integrated Land and Water Management for Food, Water and Climate Security in the Dairy Food System Project, marking a significant milestone in advancing sustainable watershed management and climate resilience in the Yala-Nyando landscape.
Financed through a USD 7.14 million grant from the Global Environment Facility (GEF-8), alongside over USD 38.7 million in co-financing, the project will address land degradation, declining water quality, climate change impacts and unsustainable agricultural practices while strengthening the resilience of farming communities.
A key outcome will be the establishment of the Yala-Nyando Water Fund, a sustainable public-private financing mechanism designed to mobilize resources for long-term watershed conservation, water security and improved community livelihoods.
The project targets approximately 5.7 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent in emissions reductions or sequestration and is expected to directly benefit over 74,000 people through improved agricultural productivity, stronger dairy value chains, enhanced household incomes and access to sustainable livelihood opportunities.
By promoting watershed restoration, wetland conservation, riparian protection and climate-smart agriculture, the initiative will contribute to ecosystem recovery, climate resilience and Kenya’s broader environmental restoration goals, including the 15 Billion Tree Growing Programme.
The inauguration of the Steering Committee reinforces the importance of coordinated leadership, accountability and partnerships among national and county governments, development partners, the private sector and local communities in delivering lasting environmental and socio-economic benefits.

DEPARTURE OF JOHN KIOLI. Today, Kenya’s and Africa’s climate justice movements mourn the loss of a comrade and friend, John Kioli, chair of the Kenya Climate Change Working Group (@KCCWG).
To many, Kioli was a justice champion. For more than 24 years, he advanced climate justice and renewable energy policy in Kenya and across Sub-Saharan Africa.
To Power Shift Africa, he was a friend. Our director, Mohamed Adow, described Mr Kioli as a true son of Kenya who relentlessly pursued justice for climate-vulnerable communities across the country.
“Kioli was the composed, rigorous and steady force that steered and strengthened the Kenya climate justice movement,” Adow said, adding that his passing is a profound loss to the climate community. “I have lost a personal friend.”
At the time of his passing, Kioli was serving as a commissioner on the Nairobi River Commission.
To Kioli’s family, KCCWG and comrades in the justice movement, Power Shift Africa grieves with you.
Fare thee well, dear John.

How did a former MP who owned houses in Nairobi, hotels, farmland and commercial property worth hundreds of millions of shillings end up spending his final days in a servant’s quarter?
The High Court in Eldoret has heard that despite his substantial property portfolio, Mr Chepkut was battling severe financial difficulties in the final years of his life, with several of his assets tied up as security for loans.
He eventually moved into a servant’s quarter in Westlands belonging to an Asian friend, where he lived with his driver and cook until his death on October 8, 2022.

I joined His Exellency @WilliamsRuto President of the Republic of Kenya and Chair of the Committee of African Heads of State and Government on Climate Change (CAHOSCC), for the Extraordinary CAHOSCC Meeting held in New York on the margins of the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 81).
The meeting brought together CAHOSCC Member States, the African Union Commission and key partners to consolidate Africa’s climate priorities ahead of COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, and COP32 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Discussions focused on Africa’s position for COP31, preparations for COP32, reports from the African Islands Climate Commission and Congo Basin Climate Commission, as well as the CAHOSCC Coordinator’s Report and Draft Decisions.
In his opening statement, the President underscored the need for Africa to remain united and ambitious in moving from climate pledges to implementation. He emphasised that climate finance remains a major constraint to adaptation, resilience and climate action, reaffirming that climate finance is not charity, but a commitment under the UNFCCC and Paris Agreement.
As we look towards COP31 and prepare for COP32 in Addis Ababa, our focus must remain on adaptation, implementation, investment and climate-positive growth. Africa must continue positioning climate action as an opportunity to attract investment, create quality jobs, strengthen resilience and drive sustainable economic transformation.
Africa is ready to act. Africa is ready to lead.
