  • Mrs. Amina Mohamed Cabinet Secretary of Education Kenya Email
    Mrs. Amina Mohamed Cabinet Secretary of Education Kenya Email: [email protected] File Reference: RP/SV Contact: [email protected] 21 May 2018 Your Excellency, LACK OF SOCIAL DIALOGUE IN KENYA Public Services International (PSI) brings together more than 20 million workers, represented by over 700 unions in 163 countries and territories. We are a global trade union federation dedicated to promoting quality public services in every part of the world. Our members, two-thirds of whom are women, work in social services, health care, municipal and community services, central government, and public utilities such as water, electricity and education. PSI observes a worrying trend in Kenya in relation to the Government’s capacity to encourage industrial democracy, harmony and declining to address emerging industrial issues raised by unions. In February 2017, we already addressed a letter to the Cabinet of Health in relation to the doctors’ and nurses’ strike. On Friday 2nd March 2018, the Kenya Universities Staff Union (KUSU), called its members to withdraw labour in a national strike against the government and 31 public university managements for failing to negotiate collective bargaining covering the 2017-2021 cycle. This is the result of months of fruitless meetings without any concrete outcome. We further observe that the Government of Kenya, through its various agencies, has not availed of the instruments put in place by labour legislation to amicably address and improve emerging union concerns before they snowball into a crisis. It is important to note that long strikes are not only detrimental to harmonious working relations but also for the economy at large.

  • High Commission of India Nairobi India-Kenya Bilateral Relations
    High Commission of India Nairobi India-Kenya Bilateral Relations India and Kenya are maritime neighbours. The contemporary ties between India and Kenya have now evolved into a robust and multi-faceted partnership, marked by regular high-level visits, increasing trade and investment as well as extensive people to people contacts. The presence of Indians in East Africa is documented in the 'Periplus of the Erythraean Sea' or Guidebook of the Red Sea by an ancient Greek author written in 60 AD. A well-established trade network existed between India and the Swahili Coast predating European exploration. India and Kenya share a common legacy of struggle against colonialism. Many Indians participated and supported the freedom struggle of Kenya. India established the office of Commissioner for British East Africa resident in Nairobi in 1948. Apasaheb Pant was the first Commissioner. Following Kenyan independence in December 1963, a High Commission was established. India has had an Assistant High Commission in Mombasa. Vice President Dr. S Radhakrishnan visited Kenya in July 1956. Smt. Indira Gandhi attended the Kenyan Independence celebrations in 1963. PM Indira Gandhi visited Kenya in 1970 and 1981. PM Morarji Desai visited Kenya in 1978. President Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy visited Kenya in 1981. President Moi visited India for a bilateral visit in 1981 and for the NAM Summit in 1983.

  • Amina Mohamed Candidate for Director General
    AMINA MOHAMED CANDIDATE FOR DIRECTOR GENERAL OF THE WORLD TRADE ORGANISATION The Government of Kenya is pleased to present the candidacy of Ambassador Amina Mohamed for the position of Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Ambassador Mohamed has served her own country and the international community with distinction for more than 30 years. She has held senior positions both at home and in international institutions. Ambassador Mohamed has made exceptional contributions to international trade governance. She chaired the first WTO Ministerial Conference to be held in Africa and steered the meeting to a successful conclusion. Minister Mohamed has held the most senior chairperson positions at the WTO, including that of Chairperson of the General Council. Currently, She is the President of the 14th session of the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and former Assistant Secretary General and Deputy Executive Director of the UN Environment Program (UNEP). As we navigate the gravest public health, socio-economic and political crisis to afflict us in decades, the world needs a well-functioning, credible and effective multilateral trading system. Even before the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, the WTO faced serious challenges and calls for reform. The task facing the WTO now is enormous. The need for effective leadership is more important than ever as the institution reshapes itself to meet the current challenges that face us. The length and breadth of her experience at the WTO and the Multilateral Trading System combined with her extensive track record in international relations and her political experience, I believe is unparalleled. My experience working with her over the years and watching her work with others has convinced me that she is a master consensus builder.
