The Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) expects digital firms to witness increased interest from firms seeking mergers and acquisitions post Covid-19.
“We are likely to see hospitality companies partnering with online delivery firms to achieve synergies for business.”
Online delivery firms such as Sendy and Glovo have partnered with supermarkets for home delivery of goods since the onset of Covid-19, showing the increased profile of firms playing in e-commerce space.

Demonstrators freed several opposition leaders, including Sadyr Zhaparov, who was quickly named the new prime minister.

Uhuru order raises online listing of public tenders five-fold
Monday, June 15, 2020 0:01
By BONFACE OTIENO
President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The value of public contracts published online in line with the State’s directive increased five-fold in 2019/20 compared to the previous financial year.
The data, however, shows that several State agencies continue to defy President Uhuru Kenyatta’s order to publicly release details of the multi-billion shilling tenders through a designated public procurement website to curb graft.
A spot-check of the portal reveals that most agencies controlling multi-billion shilling State contracts are yet to publish online details of such tenders.
He said information on the portal should include the basis of awarding the tenders, parameters of assessment, names and details of tender committee members as well as the value of each contract.
Barthélemy Boganda , (born April 4, 1910, Bobangui, Moyen-Congo, French Equatorial Africa [now in Central African Republic]—died March 29, 1959, near Bangui), the major nationalist leader of the Central African Republic (formerly Ubangi-Shari) in the critical decolonization period of the 1950s. His strong popular support was unmatched by that of any other political figure in the four colonies of French Equatorial Africa. Stridently anticolonial but pragmatic, he could (and did) make deals with the colonial administration and European businessmen to gain his ends.
Boganda was born of a peasant family and became the first African Roman Catholic priest in Ubangi-Shari. He was sponsored by the Catholic missions as a candidate in the November 1946 elections to the French National Assembly and won against an administration-backed candidate. However, he soon denounced the missions as well as the colonial administration, and he left the French Catholic party (the Republican Popular Movement) and the priesthood. In 1949 he founded his own party, the Social Evolution Movement of Black Africa, which he dominated completely. In the 1951 campaign a French administrator briefly arrested him for “endangering the peace.”
Subsequently, Boganda’s prestige was essentially unchallenged. Even the French government realized it was useless to oppose him and made efforts to conciliate him. In 1956 he also came to an agreement with French businessmen, who offered him financial support in return for European representation on municipal and territorial election lists.
In 1957 Boganda became the president of the Grand Council of French Equatorial Africa (which also included Chad, Gabon, and the French Congo). He hoped for a federation of these states under African rather than French control and for the eventual creation of a “United States of Latin Africa” that would also include Angola, the Belgian Congo, Ruanda-Urundi, and Cameroon. By late 1958 this dream was shattered, and he turned his attention again to the future Central African
Zimbabwe’s Health minister was on Saturday released on bail, a day after he was arrested over allegations of corruption after the government bought $60 million worth of medical equipment from an unregistered company.
Dr Obadiah Moyo was charged with criminal abuse of office after he approved contracts awarded to a company known as Drax International, which has offices in Dubai.

In addition to planning the country’s first-ever national high school graduation event, LeBron is teaming up with Travis Scott to drop an official t-shirt to commemorate the day.
“The Cactus Jack x Uninterrupted collab tee, which boasts a design by La Flame himself, features the handwritten sentiment ‘We’re all in this together.’
All net proceeds from sales of the T-shirt will go toward the LeBron James Family Foundation and Feeding Texas, two organizations close to each respective figure’s hearts,” Complex states, adding that the 72-hour sale of the special tee kicked off on Travis Scott’s official website at 3 p.m. today.
Announcing the drop on Instagram, LeBron wrote:
“Class of 2020, I told you we were going to make graduation special.
From Barack Obama, who will deliver the official commencement speech, to Bad Bunny, Pharrell Williams, and more, whose virtual attendance have been confirmed, it’s definitely going to be a star-studded night to remember.

Drake woke up today apologizing to his friends and fans after some awkward bars of his surfaced online.
Apparently, the “Toosie Slide” rapper has people wondering if he hooked up with Kylie Jenner, despite being cool with Travis Scott, after a new Future/Drake collaboration was played on Instagram Live.
“A song that Mark ran last night on Night Owl Sound Live set shouldn’t have been played.

If you missed the lyrics that set people off (and probably had Drake’s phone ringing off the hook this morning), here they are, according to The Blast:
“Yeah, I’m a hater to society / Real sh*t, Kylie Jenner that’s a side piece / Yeah, I got 20 motherf*ckin’ Kylies,” in addition to “Yeah, I got 20 damn Kendalls / Young slim baddies and them in vogue / Yeah, I got 20 f*ckin’ Gigis.”
