Panel Discussion: Using Access to information to build stronger partnerships and institutions @MediaCouncilK @giz_gmbh #KE @GermanyinKenya @DavidOmwoyo @FlorenceKajuju
Commissioner Lucy Ndungú: ATI Act is a partnership law that requires the Commission to partner with other stakeholders for public participation, proactive disclosure #AccessToInfoKe
@JYesho: For every right there is an equal and corresponding duty. Various institutions have been bestowed upon the mandate to ensure that these rights are implemented through set mechanisms. This can be enhanced through collaboration with such institution.
Chief Guest, North Eastern Regional Commissioner, Nicodemus Ndalani, underscores importance of #AccessToInfoKE by saying peace in the region has been achieved through sharing of info between govt & citizens @MediaCouncilK @giz_gmbh #KE @GermanyinKenya @bodo_immink @FlorenceKajuju
Mr Ndalani: failure to disclose info on time & accurately allows for misinformation & distrust among citizens
Underscores the need for journalists in the region to be more professional than they're; citing recent misleading coverage. He says media should fairly & accurately cover public issues & subjects.
@FlorenceKajuju: Commission oversights the right to fair administrative justice action & the right of access to information as provided for by Articles 47 and 35 of Constitution, respectively @MediaCouncilK @DavidOmwoyo @bodo_immink @giz_gmbh #KE @GermanyinKenya #AccessToInfoKE
@FlorenceKajuju: The Commission, being the oversight agency, has progressively put measures in place for effective and optimal realization of the right of access to information.
In the last Financial Year, 130,492 requests for info were received and processed by various Ministries, Government Departments and Agencies. This was a significant increase compared to the previous 2018/19 financial year where only 4,607 requests were processed @FlorenceKajuju
ATI Commissioner Lucy Ndung'u: The importance of access to information to a country’s citizenry is premised on the fact that all sovereign power belongs to the people and as public officers all the information we hold is in trust for the people. #AccessToInfoKE @MediaCouncilK
Commission is keen on ensuring that all public entities adhere to the provisions of the Access to Information Act to promote transparency, participation, inclusivity and accountability in governance as envisaged by the Constitution @giz_gmbh #KE @bodo_immink #AccessToInfoKE
Commission is working towards creating more awareness on access to information to make sure that all actors; members of the public, public entities, media & oversight institutions are aware of their obligations resulting to the seamless implementation of the Act. @MediaCouncilK
Riot police advance on makeshift barricades set up by pro-democracy protesters in front of the 1st Infantry Division base, where PM Prayut Chan-o-cha's residence is located. #Thailand #KE #ม็อบ28กุมภา
Police, soldiers, or agent provocateurs? Scores of unidentified men in plain cloth and helmets are seen milling about behind the riot police's line. They refuse to tell us who they are, and police made no attempt to interfere with their activities. #Thailand #KE #ม็อบ28กุมภา
Police unleashed water cannon and tear gas on the demonstrators earlier in front of the infantry bae. Two people were reportedly injured #Thailand #KE #ม็อบ28กุมภา
#SouthAfrica on Sunday suspended the use of the #OxfordAstraZeneca vaccine after a small clinical trial suggested that the drug is not effective in preventing mild to moderate illness from the variant dominant in the country.
I spoke to @mosmasika to understand if the new data posed any risk for Kenya which is heavily relying on the #OxfordAstraZeneca vaccine.
He told me: "We should not stop our plans for vaccination just because South Africa has paused #AZ.
We should appreciate that the two countries are experiencing a somewhat different trajectory in terms of numbers and most likely circulating variants."

SHOTS FIRED: Three loud bangs resembling gunshots were heard close to the protest site in front of Siam Commercial Bank headquarters just as demonstrators were leaving. A firecracker was also reportedly thrown at them. Reports say at least 1 injured. #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB #Thailand
Traces of what appeared to be handgun bullets were also found at the protest site, suggesting that they were indeed gunshots. Forensic police are at the scene to investigate. #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB #Thailand #KE #WhatsHappeninglnThailand
UPDATE: Reports say the man who fired shots at pro-democracy protesters was arrested at the scene, and police have found the firearm used in the shooting. No other details of the perpetrator so far. #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB #Thailand #KE #WhatsHappeninglnThailand
Inflatable duck boats, which have become a sort of a comedy icon of the pro-democracy movement, have arrived in front of the Siam Commercial Bank headquarters in northern Bangkok for today's protest. #Thailand #KE #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB #WhatsHappeninglnThailand
Move over, crytocurrency! The activists hand out parody banknotes (ie coupons) with the portrait of the yellow duck. Each of them is worth 10 baht and can be used to buy food from participating hawkers, or "CIA," around the protest site. #Thailand #KE #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB
Fun Fact! The duck is formally given a title as กรมหลวงเกียกกายราษฎรบริรักษ์ by the protesters, which translates roughly to Lord Prince Protector of the People of Kiakkai. #Thailand #KE #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB
WTF Thailand: Traffic chaos broke out in downtown Bangkok after commuters woke up to find cops blocking some roads with containers to deter a march to the Crown Property Bureau -- even though the protest was already moved to another location. #Thailand #รถติด #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB
Police made no announcement about the barricades, which literally appeared overnight, adding more woes to rush hour traffic in Bangkok this morning. Today's demonstration is set to take place at Siam Commerical Bank HQ, nearly 15 km away. #Thailand #รถติด #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB
Meanwhile, ultraroyalists were free to gather in front of the parliament building without attempts by the police to disperse them. A parliament official even met with the pro-monarchy protesters and accepted their petition. #Thailand #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB #WhatsHappeningInThailand
Right on time! A police officer arrived at Ratchaprasong Intersection to tell demonstrators to disperse and vacate the area. The protesters replied by standing their ground and flashing the three-finger salute. #ม็อบ18พฤศจิกา #Thailand #KE #WhatsHappeninglnThailand
Ratchaprasong Intersection is now full of protesters. Fun fact: the intersection's Thai name means "Royal Wishes." Activists say they will change it to Ratsaprasong today, meaning "People's Wishes" #ม็อบ18พฤศจิกา #Thailand #KE #WhatsHappeninglnThailand
It's been less than 30 minutes since the official time of the protest, but there's already a large crowd at Ratchaprasong Intersection.

Paranoia at the Parliament: naval officials patrol in their boats on Chao Phraya River close to the Parliament to prevent possible attempt by anti-government activists to approach the building via the river. #Thailand #KE #ม็อบ17พฤศจิกายน
The navy and police deploy their patrol boats after activists suggest, somewhat half-jokingly, that they would "invade" the parliament building by paddling across the river on recreational boats used in public parks. #Thailand #KE #ม็อบ17พฤศจิกายน
The authorities seem to take the potential threat of an invasion by pro-democracy "Ducky Boats" very seriously. Marine department was instructed to monitor all river piers close to the Parliament for any sign of an amphibious landing. #Thailand #KE #ม็อบ17พฤศจิกายน
