🥬 What's for dinner tonight?
For Sande, the answer is simple: fresh vegetables she picked herself at a market in Kakuma Refugee Camp.

The Commission’s Chairperson, @mamacount2017, joined Hon. Hanna Wendot Cheptumo, Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Gender, Culture and Children Services and other stakeholders at the First Biannual National Gender Sector Working Group Meeting held at Safari Park Hotel, Nairobi, under the theme “Election Preparedness for Women and Other Special Interest Groups.”
In her remarks, Hon. Rehema Jaldesa emphasised the need to address persistent barriers that limit the participation of women, youth, persons with disabilities and other Special Interest Groups in electoral processes.
She also highlighted the Commission’s ongoing efforts to support voter registration, promote inclusive political party nominations, strengthen grassroots engagement and address violence against women in politics.
As the country prepares for the 2027 General Elections, she called for stronger collaboration among stakeholders to ensure that every eligible Kenyan has an equal opportunity to register as a voter, participate in electoral processes and be represented.

UN Kenya is keen to support efforts to prevent conflict early, strengthen dialogue, mediation & promote peaceful, credible & inclusive elections.
Working with national institutions & peacebuilding actors, we remain committed to supporting peaceful electoral process in Kenya.
3/4
Beyond nomination disputes, peaceful elections require addressing hate speech, political incitement & misinformation, which can drive division & erode trust.
Religious leaders, political parties & electoral institutions all have a role in promoting civic education & peace.
