Want clear, practical updates on how governments work — or don't — across Africa? This tag collects fast, readable reporting on public projects, accountability, protests, and policy decisions that affect daily life. You’ll find short explainers, on-the-ground reporting, and analysis that tells you what happened, why it matters, and what could come next.
Kenya lost over Ksh6 billion to fines after foreign loans went unused and major projects missed deadlines. Our piece breaks down which projects were hit, who’s accountable, and what that shortfall means for services like roads and health. If you care about public money being used properly, this one’s essential.
Mass protests led by Gen Z shook Kenya on a tense anniversary. President Ruto urged calm while the state tightened media controls and police clashed with demonstrators. Read the report to understand protest demands, how authorities responded, and what this could mean for upcoming policy moves.
The Engineers Board ordered a university to recall an honorary degree because it wrongly used the professional 'Eng.' title. That story shows how professional bodies enforce standards and why title misuse matters for trust in public life.
Infrastructure stories matter. Former president Obasanjo opened Abia State’s 46km Joe Irukwu Way and praised Governor Alex Otti’s road push. We explain how big road projects change local economies and why political backing can speed or stall construction.
Energy affects everything. Eskom reintroduced Stage 3 loadshedding after a run of steady supply, due to breakdowns and reserve gaps. Our coverage explains how loadshedding decisions are made, who pays the price, and what short-term fixes are on the table.
If you’re tracking a specific issue — public spending, protests, regulatory action, or infrastructure — start here. Bookmark articles that mention audits, legal rulings, or project timelines; those bits often predict real changes. Want quick context? Look for pieces that name the agencies involved (Auditor General, Engineers Board, energy utilities) — that tells you where to watch for follow-up.
We keep stories short and focused so you can act on them: share a link with contacts, check the named government body’s statements, or follow a project’s next milestone. For deeper dives, use our analysis posts which connect local events to bigger patterns like budget pressure, youth mobilization, or governance reform.
