Blood Parliament - BBC Africa Eye Documentary
On June 25th 2024, blood was spilt at Kenya’s parliament. That day, thousands of protestors headed there to stop the 2024 finance bill being passed into law. En-route they were met with tear gas, truncheons, and even gunfire. When they got there, and stormed the legislature, some of that gunfire turned lethal. At least three people were killed: students, shopkeepers, and Sunday school teachers. Since then, no one has been held to account for their deaths. Now, using open-source intelligence (OSINT) and forensic techniques, #bbcafricaeye can expose the men who spilled blood on the grounds of Kenya’s parliament.

Yesterday, during a kgotla meeting in Kgagodi, I assured residents that the 10,000 hectares taken through a 2023 Presidential Directive will be returned to the community.
Restoring land to Kgagodi, Tamasane, Moremi, and Lesenepole is a matter of justice and dignity. I have advised government legal practitioners that this administration will not intimidate citizens over what is rightfully theirs.

Recently, I was honored to be part of President Advocate Duma Gideon Boko's delegation, where we participated at the 2nd Session of the Namibia–Botswana Bi-National Commission (BNC), co-chaired by President Advocate Duma Gideon Boko, and Namibian President Dr. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah.
During the Bi-National, we signed 8 Memorandum of Understandings on Cooperation in various fields including energy resources; we further agreed on collaboration on natural resource management, beneficiation and the diamond sector.
The call to action from our Heads of States is clear; facilitate, invest, innovate and develop.

President Advocate Duma Boko has officially launched the Botswana Economic Transformation Program (BETP), a bold national initiative aimed at revitalizing the country’s stagnant economy and reducing unemployment.
Speaking during the launch, President Boko acknowledged Botswana’s over-reliance on diamonds and widespread poverty, calling the current economic situation “a national inflection point.” He stressed the need for urgent reforms to diversify the economy and build resilience.
The President outlined a four-point agenda focused on shifting Botswana towards a services-led economy, establishing the country as a regional financial hub, leveraging its political stability to attract investment, and delivering sustainable, inclusive growth.
“Our transformation will not be slow – we will sprint,” said Boko, referencing global success stories like Dubai and Singapore as models.
The program also includes the introduction of economic transformation labs to fast-track investment opportunities and dismantle bureaucratic delays. To drive implementation, Botswana has partnered with Phemandu Associates, a world-renowned transformation firm, already working on the ground.
Progress will be tracked via a Presidential Delivery Dashboard, ensuring transparency and accountability across all ministries.
“This is not a plan for the privileged few. It’s for every citizen, every village, every town,” President Boko said.
