Henriette Geiger, the EU ambassador to Kenya, said the bloc is working with Kenya in dealing with suspected criminals caught in the region's waters. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Kenya is holding at least 120 suspected pirates and has convicted 18 of them. However, in 2012, a Kenyan court ruled the East African nation has jurisdiction to try Somali pirates carrying out attacks in international waters. "The problem is still the same because there are challenges to prosecution in Kenya of the Somali pirates,” he said. In the early 2010s, Somali pirates hijacked dozens of ships, holding them for millions of dollars in ransom.

But there is one citadel of the Left that has only got stronger, which is within the Congress party. This has proven to be very successful across India, with one crore women becoming Lakhpati Didis already. The reason you see this convergence between domestic and foreign policies is that the basic principle for both is the same— Nation First. How could we, as a nation, progress when more than half our population was ignored and deprived of any opportunity to contribute to national growth? The confidence you see in the markets is their perception of the people and their mandate for a developed nation.

[Kipsang Joseph, Standard]Outside maritime circles, the loathed Illegal, Unreported, Unregulated (IUU) fishing is least understood and its effects less reported, analysed or interpreted in nations that bear the brunt of the multi-trillion-shilling loss caused by the trade. The Indian Ocean is the second-most productive ocean for fisheries, supporting the second-largest tuna fishery in the world. These findings can indicate a need to either change how policies are enforced due to persisting discrepancies or to sanction the operators involved in IUU fishing, if confirmed. Identifying key DWFNs and their potential IUU fishing impacts within a region could reveal policy. For now IUU, it appears, will still thrive beyond the ocean horizon, as a known problem with no known solutions.

The latter singular interest also stands to foster a more resilient future for South Sudan and the region. Natural Resource GaloreWhat the world does not know is that South Sudan boasts a wealth of natural resources beyond oil. If anything, South Sudan needs to integrate both with the global economy while strengthening collective action, especially the region and international financial system. As I noted on another forum recently, South Sudan is a country moving towards a positive frontier. Though over 90 percent of South Sudan is classified as prime agricultural land, only about 5 percent of the land is exploited, which means food insecurity continues to perturb the country.

She added: "What you can't see is that the Diet Coke doesn't come out of the can when flipped upside down until you lift it up and tilt it slightly. It makes pouring the Diet Coke very controllable and reduces the chances of spilling or overflow." Brodie, a flight attendant with Virgin Australia, reassured passengers that the tap water on their flights is safe to drink.

Kenya has experienced a surge in food commodity prices following heavy rainfall that disrupted agricultural activities and damaged crops. This has led to increased prices for onions, tomatoes, oranges, and potatoes, potentially influencing inflation rates. A kilo of red dry onions is priced between Sh180 and Sh200 in markets, with supermarket prices reaching up to Sh250. The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) noted a 5.8 per cent increase in onion prices and a 4.3 per cent rise in tomato prices in April. Despite decreases in the prices of some food items, the floods have destroyed key crops, raising concerns over food security.

Esther Maina, a farmer from Mkogodo East ward in Laikipia county, has struck gold with the Unica potato variety. KALRO, in collaboration with CIP, continues to develop more resilient and higher-yielding potato varieties that meet consumer preferences. Released in 2016, the climate-resilient Unica variety has not yet been widely adopted by farmers. Agneta Makutwa, Laikipia project officer with FAO, said that farmers are embracing climate-smart agriculture to cope with climate change. She said that potato production in the area is increasing due to the adoption of the Unica variety, which is particularly valued for its drought resistance.

Esther Maina, a farmer in Mkogodo East ward, Laikipia county, has been cultivating the Unica potato variety for a year, noting its drought resistance, quicker maturity in three months, and higher yield. Unica potatoes have a longer shelf life of over six months and command a higher market price, with yields potentially reaching 300 90-kg bags per acre. The International Potato Centre (CIP) notes potatoes were introduced to Africa in the late 1800s, with current production supporting approximately 2.5 million people in the value chain. KALRO and CIP have developed the Unica variety, released in 2016, for its climate resilience and disease resistance. Laikipia's adoption of climate-smart agriculture, including the Unica variety, is increasing potato production, according to Agneta Makutwa, Laikipia project officer with FAO.

The Ministry of Health, in collaboration with diverse stakeholders, last week convened to validate the Early Childhood Development (ECD) Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) Strategy and the ECD Advocacy Strategies in a concerted effort to advance early childhood development (ECD). In a statement by the health ministry, the strategies, oriented towards fostering nurturing care for early childhood development, aim to ensure that every child not only survives but thrives and attains their full potential. The SBCC strategy is intricately crafted to disseminate crucial ECD messages across various community segments, with the goal of raising awareness and educating communities on the critical aspects of early childhood development. According to the statement, both strategies serve as integral components of the forthcoming Integrated ECD Policy (IECD) for Kenya. The validation exercise was attended by a diverse array of stakeholders, including representatives from the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, Ministry of Education, National Council for Children Services, Directorate of Children Services, Department of Social Development, Nairobi County Government, Council of Governors, UNICEF, Interreligious Council of Kenya, Kenya Paediatric Association, ECD Network for Kenya, Africa Early Childhood Network, and Early Childhood Development Action Network, represents a significant milestone in advancing early childhood development in Kenya.
