Photo/ Jason Mwangi |Citizen TVNairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna is not ready to become the President of Kenya; this is according to Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli.Speaking on Citizen TV’s Sunday Live, Atwoli argued that Sifuna’s presidential ambitions were premature and that he can only be a future leader.“Sifuna, one-term Senator you want to become a president? Not in Africa, we must detain, you, we must make you go through stages. You must suffer looking for leadership. You must know how economy is crafted. You must be able to understand the problems Kenyans are having. You must pay school fees for your children. You must raise money for other people. You must build churches, you must do what we have done. For now no. Capital N-O!” Atwoli told Citizen TV’s Jeff Koinange.According to the COTU boss, the masses that the Nairobi Senator has gathered in his Linda Mwananchi rallies can not amount to a successful presidential bid.He compared Sifuna’s popularity to that of Moi-era politicians including Kenneth Matiba, Paul Ngei, Jaramogi Oginga, Bildard Kagia, Ronald Ngala, who never became presidents.“It requires massive support....

Read briefing Federal court in Florida to try men accused of orchestrating the transnational plot to kill Jovenel Moise from US soil.Eighteen suspects facing federal charges for the 2021 assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise have been flown to the United States.A military flight on Sunday transported the suspects from the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince, to the US state of Florida, where the defendants are set to stand trial for their alleged involvement in the transnational plot to kill the former leader.The major development comes after federal prosecutors in the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida successfully secured convictions in May against what they called “gang leaders” and “co-conspirators” implicated in the scheme to kill Moise.The high-profile investigation is being directed by US Attorney Jason A Reding Quinones, an appointee of US President Donald Trump.“Today marks the next major phase in our pursuit of accountability for the assassination of President Jovenel Moise,” Quinones wrote on social media. “We will follow the evidence wherever it leads, to those who financed it, facilitated it, supported it or committed crimes to make it possible. Five years later, we are still bringing defendants before American courts, and we are not finished.”Quinones did not immediately identify the suspects being extradited, but those who remain in Haiti awaiting trial include more than a dozen Colombian soldiers and a former Haitian government official.Quinones said that the FBI and others “remain steadfast in ensuring that all individuals who allegedly sought profit from the assassination of a head of state are held fully accountable”, with FBI Special Agent in Charge Brett Skiles confirming that multiple arrests in the US and abroad were made on Sunday.Moise, 53, had been shot dead overnight at his private residence in the Pelerin 5 neighbourhood, in the hills above Port-au-Prince in July 2021, while his wife was critically injured. His killing caused a profound political vacuum that left the Caribbean nation devoid of any elected national leader. Capitalising on this institutional collapse, armed gangs have rapidly expanded their influence, ultimately consolidating control over an estimated 90 percent of Port-au-Prince.At least 8,100 gang killings were documented in 2025, with insecurity displacing about 1.5 million people, according to the United Nations.Legal jurisdiction was established by US federal courts in Florida, the closest US state to Haiti, because the overarching plot to assassinate Moise had been primarily engineered, financed, and staged out of the southern part of the state, according to federal prosecutors. A fair trial inside Haiti had also grown increasingly impossible owing to the ongoing security collapse and entrenched graft stemming from intense gang violence, political chaos and overlapping humanitarian crises that have severely paralysed and hollowed out the judicial system.In Haiti, prominent human rights activist and executive director of the National Human Rights Defense Network Pierre Esperance said that the transfer of the 18 suspects to the US was a “disgrace for the Haitian justice system”, and called for an overhaul of the judicial system to allow such complicated cases to be tried inside Haiti in the future.In May, a jury in Florida convicted four men in the killing, and at least five others have pleaded guilty and are serving life sentences.
Read briefing President William Ruto's personal aide Farouk Kibet during a past address. PHOTO | COURTESYKenya Kwanza leaders have defended Government-to-Government fuel importation deal days after Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni raised concerns over a foul supply agreement.While accusing the opposition of a scheme to discredit the government, the leaders launched attacks against Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro and former President Uhuru Kenyatta for allegedly undermining President William Ruto's Ruto administration. Speaking in Butere during an empowerment program, President Ruto's aide Farouk Kibet said that MP Nyoro is receiving ill advise from Mr Kenyatta and cannot claim a moral high ground now that he is in the opposition."Huyu mtu anaitwa Nyoro aliambiwa na Uhuru aseme mambo ya uongo, ni baada ya kukutana na sponsor, yeye alikuwa chairman wa budget alikuwa mwizi mkubwa wa mafuta. Anaongea ni kama haelewi, mwizi mkubwa wa mafuta ni Nyoro," he said.Migori Senator Eddy Oketch echoed Farouk's sentiments, adding that former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was also in the alleged deal to compromise the G-to-G deal."His (Gachagua) Senators have gone to lie to President Museveni. The two people responsible for theft of oil in this government is Ndindi Nyoro and Rigathi Gachagua," Senator Oketch claimed.President Museveni revealed that a Kenyan Senator alerted him that Uganda was procuring petrole...

Read briefing Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani has called on states to respect sovereignty as a condition for security in the Middle East, warning against “cycles of escalation” after “an earthquake” caused by the US-Israeli war on Iran.The region needs a “framework in which sovereignty is respected” and no state can pose a “threat to another”, Sheikh Mohammed said on Sunday at the opening of the Qatar Economic Forum’s UN General Assembly-adjacent event in New York City.Sheikh Mohammed – who is also Qatar’s foreign minister – described the economic fallout from the US-Israel war on Iran as “an earthquake” with “its shock waves” reaching far beyond the borders of the Middle East, “challenging assumptions about security and stability”.“During the crisis, almost every conversation began with security and de-escalation, then turn[ed] to energy supplies, shipping routes, and with our investments, plans will continue. These were different expressions of the same question. When so much is being disrupted, what can still be relied upon?”He said that Qatar has weathered the test to the “foundations” of the country’s economy and security, but acknowledged that the ongoing conflict in the region is having an impact.“Permanent security cannot be built through arrangements that leave any state permanently exposed to insecurity,” Sheikh Mohammed said. “We must address the sources of tensions and build confidence.”Reporting from New York, Al Jazeera’s Kristen Saloomey said that message “no doubt will be repeated” when Gulf leaders meet US President Donald Trump on Tuesday during the UN General Assembly.The PM also outlined a domestic shift in Qatar’s investment strategy by pledging more than $38bn in spending on Qatari infrastructure over the next five years.“That’s meant to attract private investors and send a message of Qatar’s resilience,” Saloomey said, while the PM is nonetheless acknowledging that the ongoing conflict is “having an impact on the region”.The situation in the Middle East and its global ramifications are expected to be high on the agenda during speeches and diplomacy.Also on Sunday, Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Majed Al-Ansari, told US media in New York that the mediation efforts by his government are ongoing to restart talks between Tehran and Washington to end the US-Israel war on Iran.

Read briefing Gemini model accessed the internet and hacked other companies during a test of its cybersecurity capabilities, the first known example of the company’s AI systems autonomously committing such an act.The hacks occurred in May during a cybersecurity test conducted by Irregular, an independent company that conducts cybersecurity evaluations.During a standard testing evaluation, Gemini found public information online and guessed credentials to access three websites it thought were within the scope of its test, Heather Adkins, Google’s vice president of security engineering, said in a statement.“We ensured the three entities were made aware, and we worked with our training partner on the changes they’ve now made to their testing processes,” Adkins said. “These events highlight the importance of training powerful AI models to act responsibly.” An Irregular spokesperson said the incident involved the same issue that affected other AI labs and that all relevant labs were notified in late July. “All known issues on our end were remedied and resolved weeks ago,” the spokesperson said.Similar incidents linked to Irregular were disclosed by Meta, Anthropic and OpenAI. Meta said in August the incident did not involve a sandbox escape or sophisticated cyberattack, while Irregular said it was working on best practices for securely conducting AI cybersecurity evaluations.The incidents have raised questions about the safeguards needed as AI agents gain greater autonomy and access to the internet and computer systems.In one of the cases, the Gemini model guessed passwords until it gained access to a protected system. In the other two cases, the model found credentials in a public repository that allowed it to then access protected systems, according to the Wall Street Joural.Email your news TIPS to Editor@Kahawatungu.com — this is our only official communication channel

Read briefing While AI researchers in the United States fret over out-of-control superintelligence wiping out humanity, Chinese policymakers have until now been more focused on immediate risks, from deepfakes to child safety.But the alarming hacking ability of top artifical intelligence models is leading Beijing to see the dangers in a new light, with the spy agency chief warning this week that the technology could jeopardise national security.The potential vulnerability of Chinese mega-app WeChat was also revealed recently when a small team of programmers in California said it had used AI to build a cyberattack “worm” that, if unleashed, could easily compromise millions of WeChat accounts.“There are more similarities than differences when it comes to AI safety issues” in China and the United States, said Kevin Xu, founder of US-based technology hedge fund Interconnected Capital.But unlike in America, these “don’t get litigated or go viral in public in China”, Xu told AFP.Nevertheless, the cybersecurity impact of AI agent bots acting without human oversight “would rank very high among the Chinese government’s biggest concerns”.As the topic grabs global headlines, the pressure is on for President Xi Jinping and US counterpart Donald Trump to discuss tackling the AI threats to both countries at in-person talks on Thursday — despite their rivalry in the field.Both powers are “developing a more realistic and shared understanding of these risks, thereby heightening the sense of urgency” to work together, Sun Chenghao of Tsinghua University’s Center for International Security and Strategy told AFP.Cooperation on shared safety evaluations for AI models or alert systems when crises emerge might be undermined by the fierce competition, however.“We’re leading China in AI… and frankly I want to keep it that way,” Trump said when asked about calls from top US labs for a coordinated slowdown of their cutting-edge work.Meanwhile, Sun said, “China is concerned that ‘security’ may be used as a tool to restrict its technological development”.A stark warning of the existential threat posed by self-improving future AI systems, posted Monday on X by a researcher resigning from US startup Anthropic, has fuelled debate worldwide over how the technology should be governed.China is already actively regulating how it is used, such as by prohibiting the creation of an AI-generated avatar in someone’s likeness without their consent.“Chinese AI policy focuses more on real, present-day harms to society and people,” said Brian Tse, CEO at Concordia AI, a Beijing-based consultancy focused on AI safety.“Beijing treats AI as a general-purpose technology — not a ‘god-in-a-box’,” he said.It sees it as “something closer to electricity or the automobile: enormously beneficial for society and industry, but ultimately manageable through regulation”, Tse said.He added that “recent AI capability jumps, high-profile incidents acting as ‘warning shots’, and a worrying pace of AI development through automation” had all pushed the technology up the list of priorities.“In my view, no new technology develops completely smoothly,” said 42-year-old Xie Zongbo.He said news of the cyberattack “worm” that could hack into WeChat may in fact be “a good thing: identifying the issue, solving it, and patching the loophole ultimately benefits the advancement of cybersecurity”.“I believe that no business… would ever impose restrictions on themselves,” said a 50-year-old pharmaceutical worker, who gave her name as Jenny.Jia Zijian, founder of Singapore-based Inspired AI, said his greatest concern was highly capable AI models learning to crack complex passwords.“Suppose these critical passwords or national security key codes were to be effortlessly cracked. In such a scenario… both China and the US would find themselves vulnerable: if our (China’s) capabilities are strong enough, they would feel exposed.“And if theirs are strong enough and we lack defences, we would be in a similarly vulnerable position.”Email your news TIPS to Editor@Kahawatungu.com — this is our only official communication channel
