Kenya to Host First-Ever Global Accreditation Summit in Major Boost to Trade and Quality

by Daily Trends
written by Daily Trends

Kenya is set to host a historic global event this month as the country prepares for the first-ever International Accreditation Conference (IAC 2025), a gathering expected to shape future conversations on quality assurance, trade facilitation, and competitiveness.

The high-profile conference, scheduled for November 11th to 14th in Mombasa County, will bring together accreditation experts, policymakers, industry leaders, and regulators from around the world.

Speaking during a pre-event media briefing in Nairobi, Kenya, Accreditation Service (KENAS) Chief Executive Officer Dr. Walter Ongeti said the conference will play a central role in strengthening confidence in Kenyan products and services in the global market.

Dr. Ongeti emphasized that accreditation remains a powerful enabler of international trade by ensuring goods, services, and professionals certified in one country are accepted across borders.

“Accreditation is critical because there’s the element of trade facilitation, and the underlying principle is that accredited ones are accepted globally,” said Dr. Ongeti.

He highlighted Kenya’s strong standing in the global quality ecosystem, noting that the country is a signatory to major international and regional accreditation bodies such as the International Accreditation Forum, the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation, and the African Accreditation Cooperation.

According to him, this position guarantees worldwide recognition of certificates issued by accredited Kenyan institutions.

“When our accredited entities issue a certificate, whether it’s an inspection or a testing certificate, that document is accepted across over 170 countries that are part of these mutual recognition arrangements. That means barriers at borders are reduced, easing the movement of goods and services,” he explained.

Beyond boosting trade, Dr. Ongeti noted that accreditation enhances trust in Made in Kenya products, especially as African countries harmonize standards under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

“Acceptance of our professionals across the continent and beyond becomes easier within the AfCFTA framework. Our goods can now be accepted in other markets with ease because they meet international requirements verified by accredited entities.”

The upcoming conference comes at a time when Kenya is intensifying its push to promote local manufacturing and reduce dependency on imports through initiatives such as Buy Kenya, Build Kenya and the broader Made in Africa movement.

“The government is very deliberate in pushing the Buy Kenya, Build Kenya and Made in Africa initiatives. Through the quality infrastructure, which includes standards and accreditation, we can drive these initiatives to ensure what we produce locally meets and even exceeds global standards,” said Dr. Ongeti.

The IAC 2025 is expected to reinforce Kenya’s role as a regional leader in quality assurance, bolster investor confidence, and support the continent’s efforts toward integrated and competitive markets.

Dubai Fitness Challenge 2025 Is Back — Here’s Why You Might Want to Join the World’s Biggest Fitness Party

by Daily Trends
written by Daily Trends

If you’ve ever thought of taking a fitness vacation, Dubai might just be calling your name this November. The city is once again transforming itself into one massive outdoor gym for Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC) 2025, an initiative led by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai.

This year, visitors to Dubai are warmly invited to join the action, making it an unforgettable way to explore the city while staying active. Whether you’re a tourist or a resident, DFC offers a unique opportunity to connect with others, embrace wellness, and experience Dubai’s vibrant energy firsthand.

The idea is simple but powerful: commit to 30 minutes of physical activity every day for 30 days. The result? A city that quite literally moves together — from beach workouts and sunrise yoga to cycling down a car-free Sheikh Zayed Road.

This year’s theme, “Find Your Challenge,” couldn’t be more fitting. Whether you’re a serious athlete, a fitness newbie, or someone just trying to move a little more, there’s something for everyone between 1 and 30 November 2025.

The Fitness Festival You Wish You Had at Home

Picture this: four massive flagship events, three buzzing fitness villages, and more than 25 community hubs scattered across Dubai — all free and open to everyone.

Here are the highlights you can’t miss:

Dubai Ride – 2 November

Thousands of cyclists will take over Sheikh Zayed Road in what’s now one of the city’s most iconic fitness moments. You can go for the 4km fun family ride or the tougher 12km route that loops past landmarks like Burj Khalifa and Museum of the Future. Even better — it’s totally car-free!

Dubai Stand Up Paddle – 8–9 November

This one’s for the water lovers. Head to Hatta Dam for two days of paddleboarding, kayaking, and even sunset yoga sessions surrounded by the stunning Hajar Mountains. If you’ve ever dreamed of a workout that doubles as a weekend escape, this is it.

Dubai Run – 23 November

Imagine running past the Burj Khalifa and through Downtown Dubai with tens of thousands of others. That’s Dubai Run — the world’s largest free community fun run. You can choose between a 5km family route or the more competitive 10km challenge. Last year, over 278,000 people joined in.

Dubai Yoga – 30 November

This is the newest addition to the lineup and it’s as serene as it sounds. To close out the month, thousands will gather at Zabeel Park for a massive sunset yoga session. It’s all about balance, mindfulness, and celebrating the journey of 30 days of movement.

Fitness for Everyone

If you’re not into big crowds, no problem. DFC also sets up three Fitness Villages — at Kite Beach, Zabeel Park, and Al Warqa’a Park — with daily classes, sports courts, obstacle courses, and family-friendly activities.

There’s also a network of 25+ community hubs bringing free workouts to neighbourhoods across the city. Think rooftop yoga, skateboarding, beach boot camps, and kids’ fitness classes — all part of the same challenge.

Sports Tourism at Its Peak

DFC isn’t just about casual workouts — it also attracts world-class sporting events. November’s lineup includes the Dubai Premier Padel P1, Dubai T100 Triathlon, DP World Tour Championship for golf lovers, and the iconic Emirates Dubai 7s, a three-day rugby and music festival that draws fans from around the globe.

Whether you’re watching elite athletes compete or trying out a fun run yourself, there’s no shortage of inspiration.

Why It Matters

Beyond the impressive numbers, the Dubai Fitness Challenge is really about community and lifestyle change. The initiative has helped families get more active together, inspired workplaces to launch wellness programmes, and turned public spaces into thriving hubs of movement.

As H.E. Saeed Hareb, Secretary General of the Dubai Sports Council, puts it:

“We measure success not only by the number of participants, but by the number of lives transformed.”

It’s a reminder that wellness isn’t just about gyms and diets — it’s about creating habits that make you feel good, one small step at a time.

If you’re planning a trip to Dubai this November, you can register for free at www.dubaifitnesschallenge.com. Participation is open to all ages and fitness levels.

So, whether you’re a resident or a visitor, make sure to join in and immerse yourself in the world’s biggest fitness party — it’s an experience you won’t want to miss!

KWS Moves To Calm Fears Over New Payment Method Rollout

by Daily Trends
written by Daily Trends

The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has moved forward to calm rising concerns from tourists and industry players following the rollout of its new digital payment platform — KWSPay, introduced under the upgraded eCitizen system.

The agency’s clarification comes amid mounting questions about new transaction charges, exchange rate applications, and system accessibility after the abrupt migration from the old eCitizen platform.

In a statement , KWS emphasized that KWSPay marks a major leap toward efficiency, transparency, and convenience in the way visitors book and pay for park entry and other wildlife services. The system officially went live at 6:00 p.m. on November 1, 2025, bringing with it an expanded range of payment options — M-Pesa, bank cards, bank transfers, and a digital eWallet.

“We acknowledge the concerns raised by stakeholders and members of the public during this transition. However, this upgrade is designed to deliver a more seamless, secure, and user-friendly experience for both local and international visitors.”said KWS Director General Prof. Erustus Kanga.

Under the new system, transactions will apply a monthly U.S. dollar exchange rate pegged to the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) rates. KWS explained that this policy will shield service providers from inflation, currency fluctuations, and interbank costs — ensuring payment stability over time.

The exchange rate will be reviewed and published monthly on the KWS and KWSPay websites for public reference.

In addition, a nominal administrative fee per transaction — previously gazetted under Notice No. 17422 of December 22, 2023 — will remain in effect. A 5% gateway fee, approved by the CBK, has also been introduced to support system maintenance and operational costs.

KWS further clarified that bank card payments may attract an extra charge of up to 3.5%, depending on the user’s card service provider.

Despite initial pushback from tour operators and park visitors, KWS insists that the move will ultimately enhance accountability and convenience.

“The new system aligns with government efforts to digitize public services and improve the ease of doing business,” said Prof. Kanga.

He added: “We are committed to continuous improvement and welcome feedback from all users to refine the experience further.”

His counterpart, Ambassador Isaac Ochieng, MBS, Ndc (K) — the Director General of eCitizen Services — echoed the sentiment, noting that KWSPay strengthens Kenya’s digital infrastructure by integrating government payment systems under one secure platform.

Tourism remains one of Kenya’s top foreign exchange earners, and park entry payments form a crucial part of the sector’s ecosystem. By shifting to a more modernized system, KWS aims to cut bureaucratic bottlenecks, curb revenue leakages, and ensure a smoother experience for travelers planning visits to Kenya’s national parks, reserves, and sanctuaries.

Malindi Airport Expansion: Where Kenya’s Coast Takes Off

by Daily Trends
written by Daily Trends

Kenya’s northern coast has always been a jewel — sun-kissed beaches, rich Swahili culture, coral reefs that shimmer beneath turquoise waters. Yet, for far too long, Malindi’s true potential has been held back by one challenge: limited air access. The planned expansion of Malindi International Airport is about to change that — and it will change everything.

With the runway set to be extended and facilities modernized, Malindi will soon be able to welcome larger aircraft and direct international flights from Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. Imagine tourists flying straight from Rome, Dubai, or Frankfurt to the heart of the coast — stepping off the plane and into paradise within hours. That’s not just convenient travel; it’s transformational for our tourism industry and for the thousands of livelihoods tied to it.

This expansion is more than concrete and tarmac. It’s an open invitation to the world — to rediscover Kenya’s coast, invest in its beauty, and experience its warmth. For hoteliers, tour operators, restaurateurs, and artisans, it means more guests, more business, and more opportunities. For our youth, it means jobs, skills, and a reason to dream bigger.

We see Malindi Airport as the gateway to a new era of coastal prosperity. The project is expected to inject billions into the local economy, revitalizing Malindi, Watamu, and Kilifi as premier global destinations. Tourists who once chose Zanzibar or Mauritius will now have every reason to choose Kenya — for our unmatched hospitality, diversity, and authenticity.

But as we build, we must build right. The government is determined to ensure that the land acquisition and compensation processes are transparent, fair, and humane. No one should feel left behind. We are working closely with the Kenya Airports Authority, the National Land Commission, and the County Government of Kilifi to resolve outstanding issues responsibly.

Equally, we remain steadfast in protecting the environment that sustains our tourism. The white sands, marine parks, and mangroves are not just scenic — they are our competitive edge. Every brick laid must respect that natural heritage.

The expansion of Malindi International Airport represents more than physical growth — it symbolizes a new mindset: bold, inclusive, and forward-looking. It’s a statement that Kenya is not waiting for opportunities to come our way; we’re creating them.

When the first international flight lands on the upgraded runway, it will signal more than the arrival of visitors — it will mark the takeoff of a stronger, more connected, and more vibrant coastal economy.

Malindi is ready for takeoff. The world is watching. And Kenya is ready to soar.

 Guinness, the Official Beer of the Premier League,  launched an unprecedented Premier League Trophy Tour in Kenya to celebrate some of the country’s most passionate fans who go ‘extra.’ This means they ‘live and breathe’ the Premier League, showing year-round dedication and loyalty that transcends typical fandom. While Kenya may be thousands of miles from the Premier League’s stadiums, for these dedicated fans, it feels just like home.

Guinness teamed up with former Arsenal and Premier League legend, NwankwoKanu to surprise four of these Premier League superfans across the country by having the iconic Premier League trophy delivered directly to their homes. In these truly remarkable series of intimate, authentic and unrivalled experiences, Guinness showcased how, for super passionate Kenyan fans, the Premier League is woven into the fabric of their very communities and celebrations.

By making the fan the official host of this incredible reward, Guinness validated the notion that Kenyan fans have profoundly welcomed the Premier League into their daily lives and culture. This was not a regular trophy tour, often a formal display viewed from a respectful distance. This was a deeply personal homecoming that went extra, creating unmissable moments and strengthening Guinness’s bond with football fandom and the vibrant cultures that fuel the sport across the country.

“The Premier League holds a special place in the hearts and homes of Kenyan football fans. We have the third largest EPL fanbase on the continent.

LSK Dismisses Munyiri’s Claims, Clears Lawyer Cecil Miller of Alleged Debt in Ongoing Court Row

by Daily Trends
written by Daily Trends

The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has officially cleared prominent Nairobi lawyer Cecil Guyana Miller of allegations made by Kenya’s ambassador to India, Peter Munyiri, who had claimed the advocate owed him a refund of legal fees.

According to documents seen by Daily Trends, the professional body reviewed the complaint in April 2025 and concluded that it could not take disciplinary action because the issues raised were already the subject of an ongoing court case between the two parties.

“We have perused the complainant’s letter dated 1st April 2025 and also perused the pleadings in HCCC E053 of 2023, Cecil Guyana Miller vs Peter Muriviri, and have determined that the allegations against the Advocate are subject matter of proceedings in the referenced court case,” LSK stated.

“The Law Society of Kenya does not have jurisdiction to determine a complaint whose subject matter issues are pending before a competent court of law,” the letter added.

Despite this clarification, sources within the legal fraternity say Munyiri has continued to sponsor social media posts through bloggers, accusing Miller of failing to refund his money — a move many in the legal community have described as defamatory and misleading.

However, email correspondence dating back to March 2016 between the two men appears to contradict Munyiri’s claims. The exchanges reportedly show Munyiri explicitly acknowledging that the funds he sent were payment for professional legal services rendered by Miller, and not a loan or refundable deposit.

The LSK’s decision effectively puts to rest weeks of online speculation surrounding the dispute, which had drawn widespread attention due to the high profiles of both men. Miller, a seasoned advocate known for representing high-ranking politicians and corporate clients in both civil and criminal matters, has maintained that he acted professionally throughout the engagement.

Legal observers say the LSK’s intervention reinforces the institution’s commitment to fairness and professional integrity, particularly in shielding members from politically motivated or malicious claims.

“The LSK acted within its mandate to ensure that due process is followed and that practitioners are not unfairly vilified outside the proper judicial channels,” said one Nairobi-based advocate familiar with the case.

With the matter now before the High Court, the final determination will depend on the court’s ruling in the ongoing civil proceedings. Meanwhile, the LSK’s position has affirmed that Miller owes no debt, restoring confidence in the advocate’s professional standing after weeks of public controversy.

The Next Generation Is Redefining Kenya’s Tourism Story

by Daily Trends
written by Daily Trends

The future of Kenya’s tourism is not on the horizon—it’s already unfolding, powered by a generation that is bold, curious, and unapologetically creative. From the buzzing streets of Nairobi to the windswept plains of Samburu, young Kenyans are reimagining how the world sees our nation. They are not waiting to inherit the tourism legacy—they are out there, shaping it with energy and vision.

Take a stroll through Nairobi’s CBD on Sunday and you’ll see it: street photographers turning ordinary city moments into extraordinary art, influencers capturing the pulse of urban life, and digital storytellers sharing Kenya’s beauty with millions online. Out in Naivasha, young entrepreneurs are creating eco-lodges that blend luxury with sustainability. In Turkana, content creators are showcasing the untamed beauty of the north, proving that adventure tourism isn’t limited to the Maasai Mara. Across the coast, youth collectives are reviving Swahili culture through festivals, cuisine, and art.

This new wave of creativity tells a powerful truth—tourism today is about engagement, not just observation. It’s about connecting with our landscapes, protecting them fiercely, and sharing them passionately. The young generation understands that our natural beauty and cultural heritage are not just attractions; they are responsibilities.

As the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife, we are committed to supporting this transformation. Our focus is on empowering youth through digital tourism, green jobs, and entrepreneurial opportunities that turn creativity into economic empowerment. We are building platforms where young Kenyans can innovate, tell their stories, and design travel experiences that reflect who we are—a proud, vibrant, and forward-looking nation.

The rise of digital tourism has been a game changer. With a smartphone and a sense of adventure, young creators are taking Kenya to the world—one photo, one vlog, one story at a time. They are harnessing technology not just for exposure but for impact, showcasing responsible tourism and promoting conservation through compelling digital narratives. Their creativity is transforming global perceptions and drawing visitors eager to experience Kenya’s authenticity.

Yet, at the heart of this movement lies a deeper mission—sustainability. The same youth capturing sunsets on quad bikes in Laikipia are also advocating for wildlife protection, eco-conscious travel, and cultural preservation. They are driving the conversation on how Kenya can grow its tourism industry while safeguarding its environment for future generations.

Our role as leaders is to nurture, support, and invest in these trailblazers. The youth are the beating heart of our tourism ecosystem—the innovators who will ensure Kenya remains a destination that is not only breathtaking but also resilient and inclusive.

To every young Kenyan: your camera, your ideas, your creativity—they are tools of transformation. Use them to tell your story, protect your heritage, and inspire the world. The next generation is not just observing Kenya’s beauty—they are redefining it.

And as they do, the world is watching in admiration. Karibu Kenya!!

PELUM Kenya Rolls Out Program to Strengthen Women Voices in Land Governance

by Pauline Waswa
written by Pauline Waswa

Women across rural Kenya are gaining renewed confidence and economic strength through the Women Empowerment for Resilience and Rights (WE4R) program.

A transformative initiative spearheaded by PELUM Kenya, aiming to enhance the capacity of women change agents and selected male allies to amplify advocacy for women’s rights, access to resources, and representation in the context of land and rural livelihood resilience in Africa.

The program’s main focus is to tackle long-standing challenges that limit women’s ownership, control, and participation in land use and decision-making processes. According to PELUM Kenya, the program aims to promote inclusive rural transformation by building the knowledge and leadership skills of women to effectively engage in governance, policy advocacy and sustainable agriculture.

The WE4R program is anchored on three key pillars: Rights, Resources, and Representation, designed to strengthen women’s agency and promote gender-responsive land management.

“Empowering women with knowledge and resources is the first step toward transforming communities and achieving resilient rural livelihoods,” said Monica Nyaga, the program’s coordinator during the inception meeting in Kericho.

Under the program, PELUM Kenya is working with community-based organizations and Women’s groups to raise awareness on land laws, succession planning, and fair land leasing practices. Women are also being trained in sustainable agriculture and agroecological methods, including kitchen gardening, soil conservation, and crop diversification to enhance household food security.

With the inclusion of male allies in the program, it intends to promote shared responsibility and to address cultural barriers that have historically limited women’s participation in land and natural resource management.

Grassroots tools transforming Access to land

PELUM Kenya has partnered with grassroots organizations such as Shibuye Community Health Workers to popularize Community-Driven Land Lease Guidelines and the Haki Ardhi tool, a mobile-based platform that allows women to report land rights violations confidentially.

These community tools have already yielded results. In counties like Kakamega, Siaya, and Homa Bay, women farmers have leased land through the guidelines, enabling them to start agribusiness ventures and increase their productivity.

Some groups have also formed cooperatives focusing on sweet potato production and aquaculture, improving their incomes and food security.

Through fair land leasing and awareness of their rights, more women are accessing productive land and engaging in agribusiness, said Doreen Magotsi.

Beyond the community level, PELUM Kenya is engaging county governments and national agencies to influence land-related policies that promote women’s rights and equitable access to natural resources.

The organization has trained community paralegals to support women in navigating land disputes, succession cases, and advocacy processes. Mentorship sessions under the WE4R program also provide platforms for women to share experiences, learn from one another, and build confidence to take part in decision-making spaces.

Monica notes that the WE4R program aligns with PELUM’s broader goal of promoting ecological land use and gender equality in rural development.

“The project is being implemented in several African countries, with Kenya taking the lead in integrating gender equality into land governance and community resilience programs. It goes beyond land matters, but also to equity, dignity, and the power to decide, more so for our women in rural areas,” she says.

As the initiative continues to gain traction, PELUM Kenya has reiterated its commitment to ensuring that both women and men play active roles in shaping inclusive and sustainable rural communities.
