BURKINA FASO🇧🇫 TURNS COTTON INTO MILITARY UNIFORMS

Burkina Faso has launched Textforce, a textile factory producing military uniforms, socks and other clothing accessories from locally grown cotton.

The initiative is part of the country’s drive to process its own raw materials and reduce dependence on imported military supplies.

Instead of exporting cotton and buying finished products from abroad, Burkina Faso is now taking the cotton from production to processing and garment manufacturing locally.

It marks another step toward industrialisation, self-reliance and value addition in Burkina Faso.

Burundians🇧🇮, Tanzanians🇹🇿 Affected by Kenya’s Immigration Crackdown Get 90-Day Grace Period

Kenya has granted foreign traders, including Burundians and Tanzanians, a 90-day grace period to regularise their immigration status, work permits, business registrations and licences.

The move follows growing anxiety among foreign nationals after Kenya announced stricter enforcement against foreigners operating small-scale businesses without proper documentation.

Authorities say the regularisation exercise will be conducted fairly and without discrimination, while warning that enforcement will become stricter after the 90-day window expires.

The government has also stressed that xenophobia, harassment and intimidation of foreign nationals will not be tolerated.

Singapore Prime Minister’s Salary to Rise to $3.6 Million a Year

Singapore, September 8, 2026 Singapore has announced a major increase in the salary of Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, raising his annual pay by more than 60 percent.

Wong’s annual salary will increase from $2.2 million to S$3.6 million, equivalent to approximately US$2.85 million a year, or S$300,000 per month. The new salary package will take effect on October 15, 2026.

The increase makes Lawrence Wong the highest-paid political leader in the world, according to reports by the BBC and Reuters.

Wong is the Prime Minister of Singapore, not the President. The two are separate positions. Singapore’s President will receive an annual salary of $2.52 million from October 15, 2026.

The Singaporean government says high salaries are intended to attract capable and experienced individuals to public service. It has also argued that competitive pay can help reduce the risk of corruption and bribery.

However, the pay increase has triggered public debate and criticism, with some Singaporeans arguing that the salaries of political leaders are far higher than the incomes of ordinary citizens. Wong has said that he will **donate his salary increase to charity over the next five years**.
