Reflecting on Day 1 of @GTSummit2026 as we head into Day 2.
“Trust is built when citizens’ voices matter and institutions are accountable for their actions.”
Speaking on a panel, Our ED, @carole_gaita emphasised that meaningful public participation goes beyond hearings and memoranda. It requires institutions to show how citizens’ views shape decisions, with clear feedback on what was adopted, what was rejected and why.
The panel moderated by Principal Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Dr. @SingoeiAKorir also included:
- @HonAmasonKingi, Speaker of the House @Senate_KE
- Hon. @CJMarthaKoome, Chief Justice and President of
@THE_SCOK

The Unvarnished Global Reality:
• 3.7 Billion People live in nations where debt interest payments exceed total spending on healthcare or education.
• Selective Morality: From Gaza to climate pledges, international law loses all credibility when violations are condemned in one conflict but excused in another.
Rules cannot constrain the vulnerable while sparing the powerful.~@MoussaMaraMali
#TheTrustSummit2026 #WeavingTrust

Our keynote speaker, @Kilavuka, former CEO of Kenya Airways, opened with his signature humour before delivering a powerful reminder to the graduates:
“Everything falls and rises on leadership. True leadership begins from within.”
#LeadershipAcademyGraduation2026 #MadeinSU
In his delivery, @Kilavuka unpacked five principles of self-leadership:
🔹 Self-awareness
🔹 Self-knowledge
🔹 Self-acceptance
🔹 Self-motivation
🔹 Self-discipline
#LeadershipAcademyGraduation2026 #MadeinSU
While discussing self discipline, @Kilavuka challenged graduates to stop leaving things to chance and take ownership of their vision for life.
How?
🔹 Prioritise what matters.
🔹 Delay gratification.
🔹 Set boundaries.
🔹 Build routines that reinforce positive habits.
In his opening remarks at the #LeadershipAcademyGraduation2026, Mr. Anthony Kahindi, the University Secretary, challenged the graduates to reflect on some fundamental questions:
1. Can you lead for others, not yourself?
2. Why should anyone be led by you? What is your gift to the people you lead?
3. Can you stop doing and start leading?
4. Can you lead from a place of deeply held principles?
5. And finally, can you earn and deserve the privilege of leadership?
#MadeinSU
Be competently dangerous. Be ethical. Be men and women of impact.
Mr. Antony Kahindi, University Secretary
