Kenya will offer technical support to Djibouti in the exploration of renewable energy mainly geothermal in the coming years. This emerged when visiting Djibouti President Ismael Omar Guelleh toured Olkaria Geothermal fields in Naivasha where he hailed the steps taken by Kenya in advancing exploration of the key resource. Guelleh who was accompanied by Energy CS Charles Keter and senior government officials from the two nations said his country stood to benefit from the immense knowledge Kenya has on geothermal exploration. Though he did not address the press, Kengen CEO Rebecca Miano hailed the tour, saying it will enhance collaboration between Kenya and Djibouti in renewable energy development. Miano noted that developments in Olkaria had been pivotal in elevating Kenya to position nine globally in geothermal power generation. “Kenya and Djibouti are strategic partners and this visit will enhance our economic cooperation specifically on the energy sector”. “Our focus is on renewable energy and our investment in geothermal power has already seen power bills reduce significantly from the highs last seen in mid-2014,” she said. Miano said Djibouti was also pursuing a renewable energy agenda and was endowed with abundant geothermal, solar and wind resources. “The country has the potential to generate more than 300 megawatts (MW) of electric power from renewable energy sources”. She said the country’s geothermal resources have been recognized for years adding that Kenya, through KenGen is willing and able to offer a helping hand in the development of geothermal energy. Miano said the company was on course in the development of clean and renewable energy which are set for completion by 2020. “The projects include the Olkaria V 140MW, Olkaria VI 140MW, Olkaria VII 140MW, Olkaria I Unit 6 70MW, Olkaria I Rehabilitation 5.7MW and Olkaria I AU & IV topping plant 60MW”.

Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad held a meeting of top alliance partners on Friday as he got down to the business of forming a government that, for the first time in the country’s history, will not be from the Barisan Nasional coalition. Mahathir, 92, was sworn into office by Malaysia’s constitutional monarch late on Thursday, becoming the world’s oldest elected leader. He called a meeting of senior members from all four parties in his Pakatan Harapan (Alliance of Hope) to gather views on formation of the Cabinet and will later address a news conference, alliance sources said. Mahathir’s alliance defeated Barisan in a stunning election upset on Wednesday, ousting the coalition that has ruled the nation for six decades since independence from Britain. Mahathir used his first news conference after being sworn in to reassure the financial community and said he would prioritise stabilising the economy and return billions of dollars lost in a graft scandal at state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). The scandal became a major factor in the election and in the ouster of Najib Razak, Mahathir’s predecessor and former protege. Malaysian markets were closed and will reopen on Monday, but overseas investors were nervous about Najib’s ouster after a decade in office. Malaysia’s 5-year credit default swaps MYGV5YUSAC=R, the cost to insure against a Malaysia debt default in the next five years, climbed to an 11-month peak in late U.S. trading on Thursday. But calm returned to offshore trading of the ringgit currency, which lost four percent on Thursday. Mahathir, dubbed the “Father of Modern Malaysia” during his previous 22 years in power until 2003, told reporters at the news conference he would try to make the ringgit as steady as possible but did not announce any policy moves. He was known for his strongarm, sometimes pugnacious style of rule, marked by an intolerance for dissent, from 1981 to 2003, but also for transforming his Southeast Asian country from a sleepy backwater into a modern industrialised nation.

Armed attackers struck a mosque outside the South African city of Durban on Thursday, stabbing to death an imam and injuring two others in a country known for its peaceful religious relations. Three men entered the large mosque after midday prayers, carrying guns and attacking the victims with knives and then releasing a petrol bomb that set fire to the building. Police said the attackers remained at large after escaping in a Hyundai car from the Imam Hussain mosque in Verulam town, on the outskirts of the eastern port city. “The motive of the attack is unknown at this stage. Verulam police are investigating three counts of attempted murder and arson,” police spokeswoman Nqobile Gwala said in a statement. The incident appeared to be unprecedented in South Africa, where about 1.5 percent of the country’s 55 million population is Muslim. Paul Herbst, spokesman for the private IPSS medical rescue service, told AFP that the imam had his throat slit and passed away a few hours after the attack. “There were three people in the mosque — a caretaker, a worshipper and the imam and they were held up by three armed men,” Herbst said. “The (imam) was tied up and thrown to his knees and his throat was slit. The other two men were also stabbed — one was stabbed in the abdomen and the other in the groin of his left leg. “Before the assailants left the mosque, a petrol bomb was thrown into the mosque and it was set alight.” The imam was treated by paramedics on the scene and transferred to hospital where he was pronounced dead. – ‘Sudden attack’ – Prem Balram, spokesman for the Reaction Unit South Africa security company, said he had arrived at the mosque to find two victims covered in blood lying in the forecourt of the mosque. He said a third victim had been attacked inside the building and had jumped out of a window when it was set alight. “Eyewitnesses said three attackers with guns had used knives. One knife was left behind,” Balram told AFP. “There have been theft and robbery incidents at mosques before, but not like this, when nothing appears to have been taken.” The Muslim holy month of Ramadan is due to start next week. “It is the first time anything like this has happened in South Africa, let alone in KwaZulu-Natal province,” Faizel Suliman, chairman of the SA Muslim Network, told AFP. “It was a sudden attack and at this point we don’t have enough information. Speculation about the motive is quite dangerous at this point.” The South African parliament’s police committee condemned the attack. “A mosque is a religious institution, and South Africa’s constitution guarantees and protects the right to religious practices,” its chairman Francois Beukman said. “This kind of attack on three innocent people is totally unjustified. We want our communities to live in harmony, practising their religions without fear.” Source: AFP
