‎Kenya’s President Ruto Assumes Chairmanship of COMESA, Pledges to Deepen Regional Integration

-


‎

‎Nairobi, Kenya 

‎

Kenya’s President William Ruto has officially taken over as the new Chairperson of COMESA (Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa), succeeding Burundian President Evariste Ndayishimiye. 

‎

The transition occurred during the 24th COMESA Heads of State and Government Summit held in Nairobi on Thursday. 

‎

‎Key Highlights & Strategic Priorities

‎1. Leadership Transition & Summit Attendance

‎

‎President Ruto’s elevation comes at a critical time for regional integration efforts.

‎

‎The summit drew heads of state, government envoys, and representatives from the African Union and development partners. 

‎

‎South Sudan, while not a full member of COMESA, participates through the Regional Customs Transit Guarantee (RCTG) scheme. 

‎

‎2. Focus on Economic & Social Integration

‎In his inaugural address, Ruto emphasized narrowing economic and social divides across member states:

‎

‎“At the heart of our mission are our people and our shared determination to bridge the economic and social gaps that divide our region.” 

‎

‎His vision centers on ensuring that the gains of regional cooperation are equitably shared among citizens.

‎

‎3. Commitment to Equity and Inclusiveness

‎Ruto’s leadership pledge underscores a shift toward inclusion, justice, and more balanced development.

‎

‎By targeting inequalities, he aims to make COMESA’s benefits such as trade, infrastructure, and mobility accessible to all member countries’ populations.

‎

‎Implications & What to Watch

‎Trade & Investment Flows: Under Ruto’s chairmanship, we may see renewed efforts to reduce trade barriers and harmonize customs procedures across the COMESA bloc.

‎

‎Infrastructure & Connectivity: Enhancing physical and digital connectivity among member states may become a higher priority.

‎

‎Social Cohesion: Programs that address cross-border inequality, labor mobility, and shared services (e.g., health, education) might gain front-line status.

‎

‎South Sudan’s Role: Although a non-full member, South Sudan’s participation in the RCTG scheme positions it to benefit from improved trade facilitation policies.

‎ The Office of the President has dismissed public speculation surrounding Vice President Rebecca Nyandeng de Mabior’s recent assignment to oversee the Governance Cluster, clarifying that the move does not signal any change in the country’s executive hierarchy. ‎ ‎While addressing the media, Presidential Press Secretary Ambassador David Amuor said Nyandeng’s role is temporary and administrative, aimed at ensuring continuity of government operations following the suspension of First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar, who traditionally chairs the Governance Cluster. ‎ Amb. David, explained that the Council of Ministers had accumulated a backlog of pending memos and policy documents, many of which required urgent presentation and processing to avoid delays in governance and legislation. ‎ “This arrangement does not in any way alter the hierarchy of the Presidency,” Amb. David stressed. “Vice President Nyandeng is only facilitating the presentation and co-sharing of memos in Cabinet to ensure...

South Sudanese Transgender Is Asking For A South Sudanese Man To Marry Him.

South Sudanese man who turned into a woman has finally spoken about his need for man to settle with. The South-South Sudanese man who goes by the name Paul Gatnoor, has found men hard to come by in the western world. Paul Gatnoor who hails from the Nuer tribe in South Sudan has decided to turn into a female since she can’t withstand the pressure of being a man. He was born a man but deep inside him, he was having the genes of a woman. Transgender is the challenge that the gender in which one is given has birth is not the exact gender that one has. This means that people who are born male can identify themselves as female since they don’t have the genes of being a male, this is what Paul Gatnoor is undergoing. They are sometimes also in other words identified as the gender queer. This only means they can not be categorized as female or male. Sometimes one might be comfortable addressing himself as a female rather than identifying yourself as a male. Gatnoor Paul w...
