Governor Johnson Sakaja sparked online debate after joking about deportation following Kodong Klan’s exit from the Gabzy x Asake concert. Sakaja Jokes About Deportation After Kodong Klan Quits Concert Governor Johnson Sakaja sparked online debate after joking about deportation following Kodong Klan’s exit from the Gabzy x Asake concert. Published: December 20, 2025 at 9:52:14 PM Modified: December 20, 2025 at 9:52:14 PM Written By | Witty Pascal Entertainment Editor Witty Pascal Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has drawn widespread online attention after making a light-hearted remark about deportation following the withdrawal of Kenyan music collective Kodong Klan from the Gabzy x Asake concert. The comment emerged after Kodong Klan issued a public statement confirming they would not perform at the Tukutane concert. Reacting on social media, Sakaja responded in Swahili with a joking remark suggesting deportation, a comment that quickly gained traction across platforms. Social media users responded with humour and playful criticism, with many interpreting the exchange as banter rather than a serious threat. The discussion soon dominated comment sections, shifting focus from the concert cancellation to the governor’s online engagement style. Behind the online reactions, Kodong Klan explained that their decision to withdraw stemmed from unresolved issues during event preparations. In their statement, the group cited repeated changes to agreed terms, unmet commitments, and concerns over professionalism. According to the artists, tensions escalated during soundcheck due to interference from another performer’s team and what they described as insufficient intervention by organisers. They said proceeding under such conditions would have normalized poor treatment within the creative industry. Concert organisers later confirmed Kodong Klan’s removal from the performance lineup. The incident has sparked broader conversations within Kenya’s entertainment industry about artist welfare, event management standards, and the role of public figures in shaping narratives online, particularly when humour intersects with unresolved industry concerns.

Published: June 10, 2024 at 6:29:08 PM Modified: June 10, 2024 at 6:35:52 PM Museveni celebrates Heroes day, originally intended to honour the memory and sacrifices of those who fought for Uganda's independence and stability Uganda's Heroes Day, celebrated annually on June 9, honors those who sacrificed for the nation's liberation and prosperity. However, many Ugandans now view the occasion as a taxpayer-funded extravagance rather than a meaningful tribute. Originally intended to honor those who fought for independence and stability, the day has become a costly spectacle with lavish ceremonies, parades, and extensive media coverage. In a country grappling with poverty, inadequate healthcare, and insufficient educational resources, the financial burden of such celebrations is contentious. Critics argue that the funds spent on Heroes Day could be better used to address pressing socio-economic challenges. Uganda's healthcare system, for instance, is underfunded, with hospitals lacking essential supplies and personnel. Similarly, the education sector suffers from dilapidated infrastructure and a shortage of trained teachers. Redirecting the Heroes Day budget to these areas could significantly improve the quality of life for many Ugandans. Moreover, the current celebrations often spotlight a select group of individuals, mainly those with political connections, leaving many unsung heroes unrecognized. This selective recognition undermines the day's original intent and fosters disillusionment among the public. While honoring Uganda's heroes is commendable, the present approach to Heroes Day has become a financial strain on taxpayers without delivering commensurate benefits. To restore its intended purpose and significance, Heroes Day celebrations should be more modest, inclusive, and meaningful, honoring all contributors to Uganda's progress. Additionally, a reevaluation of budget priorities is necessary to address the country's urgent needs effectively. ADVERTISEMENT Keep Reading

DRC signs major agreement with US firm KoBold Metals to explore critical minerals and develop lithium mines for economic growth. DRC Signs Mining Deal with KoBold Metals to Boost Exploration DRC signs major agreement with US firm KoBold Metals to explore critical minerals and develop lithium mines for economic growth. Published: July 19, 2025 at 2:33:57 PM Modified: July 19, 2025 at 5:05:33 PM Written By | Serge Kitoko Tshibanda Political Analyst Serge Kitoko Tshibanda The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has taken a big step forward in developing its mineral wealth and attracting responsible global investment. On July 17, 2025, in Kinshasa, the DRC government and KoBold Metals , a U.S.-based mining company, signed a new cooperation agreement focused on mineral exploration and economic growth. This deal comes just weeks after a peace agreement was signed between Congo and Rwanda, backed by the United States , showing that diplomacy and development can go hand in hand. What Is KoBold Metals? KoBold Metals is an American mineral exploration company supported by major investors, including Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos. The company uses advanced artificial intelligence and geological technology to find and develop critical minerals like lithium, cobalt, copper, and nickel, the kinds of minerals that power electric vehicles, smartphones, and batteries. KoBold is already interested in the Manono lithium deposit, one of the largest known lithium reserves in the world. But now, their ambitions go further, toward new exploration zones across the country. What Does the New Agreement Say? The agreement signed in Kinshasa includes 7 key points. Here are the most important: Digitizing Congo’s mineral data: KoBold will work with the DRC’s National Geological Service to make old mining data available to the public, helping scientists, companies, and the government. Launching a large-scale exploration program: KoBold will use world-class technology to search for valuable minerals across over 1,600 square kilometers of land, making it one of the largest mineral exploration efforts in DRC history. Developing Manono’s lithium deposit: The government supports KoBold’s plan to unlock the full potential of this important mine, which has been delayed for years. Fast-tracking permits and cooperation: The government will work closely with KoBold to ensure exploration permits are processed quickly and transparently. Appointing an official envoy: To make communication easier, the DRC will assign an envoy to help guide and support KoBold’s work inside the country. Why This Deal Matters for Congo This partnership is more than just a business deal. It is a clear signal that Congo is ready to lead in the global energy future by using its mineral resources wisely. For years, Congo’s riches have been a source of conflict and exploitation. But this new model focuses on: Transparency International best practices Community development and environmental protection KoBold has agreed to follow strict environmental and social guidelines (CDP and ESP standards ), as well as rules from the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). The agreement also connects to broader U.S. goals in the region. KoBold supports the idea of using the Lobito Corridor, a rail and port project, to move Congolese minerals to international markets more securely and efficiently. This shows how mining can become a tool for regional peace, trade, and prosperity. President Félix Tshisekedi personally welcomed KoBold’s CEO, Kurt House, to Kinshasa, showing high-level support for the project. The presence of Congo’s Minister of Mines, Kizito Pakabomba, and KoBold DRC Director Benjamin Katabuka at the signing also shows full cooperation between the two parties. While many mining deals in Congo have led to corruption, pollution, and inequality, this one promises a different path. With American support, high-tech tools, and full transparency, this agreement can bring real value to Congolese communities, create jobs, and grow the economy, if all sides stay committed. The world needs Congo’s minerals. But this time, Congo, as President Tshisekedi told President Biden, is saying: we want win-win partnerships, not exploitation ________________________________________ Follow @xtr.africa for full coverage on Congo’s economic transformation and mining diplomacy ADVERTISEMENT DRC Economy DRC Economy DR.Congo DR.Congo Keep Reading Business & Investment Tshisekedi’s Grand Strategy at Davos 2026 Tshisekedi’s Grand Strategy: Inside His Bid to Redefine Africa’s Place in the Global Order .
