France–Africa Summit in Nairobi: Emmanuel Macron and President William Ruto are hosting a two-day Africa Forward Summit with 30+ African leaders, pitching “partnership of equals” and announcing €23bn in investment for energy transition, digital/AI, maritime and agriculture. Diplomacy with friction: Macron also sparked backlash after interrupting a youth session at the University of Nairobi, calling the noise “a total lack of respect,” while critics question France’s motives as it recalibrates after setbacks in West Africa. UNON expansion: UN Secretary-General António Guterres launched a major $340m Nairobi headquarters upgrade, calling the city a “pillar” of multilateralism. Transport policy: NTSA says 200+ manual logbook staff won’t be sacked under the e-logbook rollout—redeployment and retraining instead. Roads finance: KeNHA has started procurement for a 142km Isiolo–Mandera upgrade after securing a KSh28bn AfDB loan. Local governance & services: KBC will expand via Huduma Centres across 47 counties. Health & integrity: A video from Embu Level 5 Hospital alleges an intoxicated practitioner demanded bribes. Agriculture innovation: Teen innovators from Kiambu won the Africa Earth Prize for a low-cost maize-and-coconut exhaust filter.
