"body": "\"Every Monday there will be a strike, there will be a demonstration,\" Raila told crowds of chanting followers in Nairobi.\n\nNairobi. Kenya's veteran opposition leader Raila Odinga called Monday for weekly protests, as clashes erupted between police and supporters demonstrating over the country's cost-of-living crisis.\n\n\"Every Monday there will be a strike, there will be a demonstration,\" he told crowds of chanting followers in Nairobi. \"The war has begun, it will not end until Kenyans get their rights.\"\n\n\"Are you ready?\" he said to cheers from his supporters.\n\nOdinga had called Monday's demonstrations against the government of President William Ruto in protest at soaring prices of basic goods in Kenya and what he said was last year's \"stolen\" election.\n\nThe opposition leader narrowly lost his fifth tilt at the presidency in the August poll despite being backed by former president Uhuru Kenyatta.\n\nRiot police had earlier fired tear gas and water cannon on Odinga's motorcade near a Nairobi hotel, where he had been due to hold a press conference before being forced to leave.",

"body": "A GDP growth of 4.5 percent was recorded in 2022 which was supported by a strong growth of the services and industry sectors.\n\nArusha. The services sector and industry played a key role in 4.5 percent growth in the East African Community (EAC) bloc last year.\n\nContinued public investments and easing of the global supply chain and Covid-19 related constraints were other contributing factors.\n\nThis emerged during the just-ended meeting of the 26th meeting of the EAC Monetary Affairs Committee in Bujumbura, Burundi.\n\nThe meeting, which was attended by the central bank governors, was told that the economic performance of the region remained strong last year.\n\nA GDP growth of 4.5 percent was recorded in 2022 which was supported by a strong growth of the services and industry sectors.\n\n\"The easing of Covid-19 related restrictions, easing of global supply chain constraints and continued public investment perfected the growth,\" said the EAC in a dispatch.\n\nThe Committee further noted that the growth in the seven nation bloc was expected to improve this year.\n\nIt is anticipated that the recovery efforts would be spearheaded \"and strong performance of the services sector\".\n\nRecovery and subsequent growth would also be marshalled by prudent monetary and fiscal policies, the statement added.\n\nHowever, the Monetary Affairs Committee maintained that despite optimism, down- side risks may continue to hit the EAC economies.\n\nFactors behind such risks, it was pointed out, include weak global growth and tightening global financial conditions.\n\nOthers are what the meeting described as protracted geopolitical tensions, climate change risks and volatile commodity prices.\n\nCentral bank governors from six of the seven partner states attended with Tanzania represented by Emmanuel Tutuba, the Governor of Bank of Tanzania (BoT).\n\nThe Committee also noted that most of the EAC partner states's central banks have recently tightened their policies to address inflationary pressures.\n\nThe meeting discussed the delayed establishment of the East African Monetary Institute (Eami) which was to pave the way for the implementation of the monetary union.\n\nThe Committee was briefed on the revised timelines set out in the monetary union roadmap, with the new date of achieving the monetary union by 2031.\n\nDespite delayed implementation of the single currency road map,, the central banks in all the member countries were credited for significant steps made in establishing the required institutions.\n\nThese include harmonization of monetary and exchange rate policies and of regulatory frameworks as well as implementation of measures to strengthen regional payments systems.\n\nOther measures whose implementation are underway are enhancement of cybersecurity frameworks, capacity building and Risk Management for EAC central banks and promoting cross-border payments.\n\nHowever, it was noted that a lot of work still needs to be done in the area of cross-border payment systems and, therefore, it was agreed to continue rolling out interoperability initiatives at national level.",

"title": "Nigerian ruling party keeps powerful Lagos post after tense local polls",
"body": "So far, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has been declared winner in the majority of governorships where ballot counting has been completed\n\nAbuja. Nigeria's ruling party has held onto the powerful post of Lagos governor, the country's electoral commission said on Monday, following weekend local elections marred by reports of violence and vote buying.\n\nSo far, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has been declared winner in the majority of governorships where ballot counting has been completed.\n\nGovernors are powerful figures in Nigeria and some control state budgets that are larger than those of several African nations.\n\nSaturday's elections for 28 governors and more than 900 state assembly lawmakers came three weeks after the governing party won a presidential ballot that opposition candidates claim was massively rigged.\n\nOutsider Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) caused a stir in the February 25 election by gaining the most votes in Lagos, considered an APC fiefdom.\n\nBut he came only third nationwide and APC candidate Bola Tinubu was declared president-elect.\n\nBoth Obi and second-placed candidate Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are contesting the presidential result in court.\n\nThe key question on Saturday was whether Obi's growing popularity, especially among Nigeria's youth, would translate into success at the local polls.\n\nBut the APC's Babajide Sanwo-Olu scored a landslide re-election as Lagos governor, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said.\n\nThe incumbent won more than twice the number of votes of LP candidate Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour and more than 10 times those of PDP hopeful Olajide Adediran.\n\nHe also passed the required threshold of 25 percent of votes across two-thirds of the state, the INEC said.\n\n'A sense of discouragement'\n\nSo far, the APC has won the governorship races in the states of Gombe, Jigawa, Katsina, Kwara, Nasawara, Ogun, Sokoto and Yobe.\n\nThe PDP has won in Oyo, Bauchi and Akwa Ibom.\n\nIn the highly contested state of Kano, the economic heart of the mainly Muslim north, thousands of supporters of the smaller New Nigeria People's Party took to the streets to celebrate their trouncing the APC.\n\n\"The victory of NNPP is a victory for Kano because the will of the people has prevailed despite attempts to subvert it,\" said Hajara Sani, 23, who was watching the crowds.\n\nResults were still pending on Monday in the key southern state of Rivers. Adamawa, in the northeast, could see the election of Nigeria's first woman governor.\n\nHead of state Muhammadu Buhari of the APC is stepping down in May after two terms and critics were hoping the presidential ballot would bring change.\n\nBut many were disappointed by the way the February election was conducted and turnout for Saturday's local polls was low.\n\nVoters and opposition parties complained in February that technical mishaps allowed for vote rigging, which the electoral commission has denied.\n\nThe Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD), which observed Saturday's poll, noted in parts of the country \"a sense of discouragement that due to the unfavourable outcome of the presidential election 'there is no point' coming out to vote\".\n\nDespite signs of low turnout, observer group Yiaga Africa said it had recorded \"significant improvement in the management of election logistics\" on Saturday.\n\nNigeria's new president and governors will take office at a time when Africa's most populous country and largest economy is struggling with growing insecurity and widening poverty.\n\nBeatings and arrests\n\nPolling units mostly opened on time and both the biometric registration machines and online portal to view results functioned relatively well, both Yiaga Africa and the CDD said.\n\nBut violence was recorded across several states, with thugs showing up at polling units to intimidate voters and in some cases destroying electoral material.\n\nIn southeast Imo State, where armed separatist groups are active, a group of ad hoc electoral staff were taken hostage on Saturday morning. They were quickly rescued but election material went missing.\n\nIn Lagos, the CDD said there were reports in the Lagbasa and Ajah areas of \"voters being flogged\".\n\nAmnesty International warned these tactics were being \"used to scare people from voting\".\n\n\"Many ended up with severe injuries... This is unacceptable and must be investigated thoroughly,\" the rights group said on Twitter.\n\nAs a result of tensions, voting was postponed until Sunday at some polling stations in Lagos and Rivers State.\n\n\"Processes were disrupted by actors over whom we have little or no control,\" INEC official Festus Okoye said on Sunday evening.\n\nHe condemned the violence and said \"allegations of voter inducement, harassment and manipulation of results will be reviewed and addressed\".\n\nVote buying was more rampant than during the presidential election, observers reported earlier in the day.\n\nParty agents were seen giving out 1,000 naira (about two dollars) in exchange for votes, as well as spaghetti, fabric and alcohol, Yiaga Africa said.",
