Landmark $300bn for poorer nations in COP29 climate deal
Developing nations, as well as countries that are particularly vulnerable to climate change, dramatically walked out of the talks on Saturday afternoon. But at 03:00 local time on Sunday (23:00 GMT on Saturday), and after some changes to the agreement, nations finally passed the deal. This promise of more money is a recognition that poorer nations bear a disproportionate burden from climate change, but also have historically contributed the least to the climate crisis. Historically, only 40% of the funding available for climate change has gone towards this. As well as the promise of $300bn (£238bn), nations agreed that $1.3tn is needed by 2035 to also help prevent climate change.

Caleb: ‘Keyboard assassins’ destabilise development by constant attacks
In addition to fiscal reforms, the Ruto administration has tackled persistent unemployment, particularly among more than five million jobless youth. The growing trend of negativity, particularly in digital forums, has serious negative consequences for patriotism and national unity. Optimism, on the other hand, is a powerful force for national progress. Countries like South Korea, Singapore, and Rwanda have shown that a belief in national potential, even in the face of adversity, is essential for overcoming challenges and achieving remarkable success. Beyond fiscal reforms and job creation, President Ruto’s administration has also made strides in enhancing transparency.

Let's make conservation a shared responsibility
To improve waste management, it’s important to embrace segregation at the household and community levels. The National Sustainable Waste Management Act 2022 requires households to separate waste at the source. The MRF has two chambers: one for wet waste (organic) and one for dry waste (recyclables). The collection trucks are equipped with tracking documents issued by the National Environment Management Authority (Nema) and follow designated routes to ensure traceability. The bottom line is that achieving a clean and sustainable environment requires all hands on deck.

Developing nations slam 'paltry' $300 bn climate deal
Activists with banners and flags demand that rich countries help developing nations tackle global warming, during the UN Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan, on November 21, 2024. In the end -- despite repeating that "no deal is better than a bad deal" -- developing nations did not stand in the way of an agreement. It falls short of the $390 billion that economists commissioned by the United Nations had deemed a fair share contribution by developed nations. "It's a betrayal of both people and planet, by wealthy countries who claim to take climate change seriously." The final deal "encourages" developing countries to make contributions on a voluntary basis, reflecting no change for China, which already provides climate finance on its own terms.

Govt Turns to Churches to Increase SHA Registrations
Health PS Mary Muthoni during a church service on Saturday, November 23, 2024. To address this challenge, the PS is urging locals to collaborate with Community Health Promoters (CHPs) to learn more about the transition to SHA. By Wednesday, 14 million Kenyans were registered under the new scheme, including 8 million new registrations. 6 million Kenyans managed to successfully transition from the defunct National Hospital Insurance Fund. While this number initially looked promising, the current go-slow in new registrations is worrisome for the government, whose overall goal is to have all 55 million Kenyans under the new system.

All eyes on legislators as EACC picks insider as new bossThe fate of Mr Twalib Mbarak’s successor as Chief Executive Officer of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) is now in the hands of the National Assembly. The nominee has been the EACC deputy chief executive officer and a career investigator with over 30 years’ experience. “The nominee details will now be forwarded to the National Assembly for vetting and consideration in accordance with the law,” said Dr Oginde. Mr Mohamud beat other senior EACC staff — Mr Vincent Omari Okongo (Director Prevention Service), Mr David Kiplagat Ruto Too (Director Legal) and Jackson Kaunda Mue (Director Field Services and Coordination) — who had also applied. Another challenge awaiting Mr Mohamud, should he be cleared by Parliament, is the low level of convictions and backlog of cases.
