Gachagua Wins Court Ruling Keeps Deputy President Job
Former senator Cleophas Malala says Rigathi Gachagua remains Kenya's real Deputy President after Friday's court decision. He praised the ruling that found Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu broke rules when she picked three judges for Gachagua's case. The appeals court said only the Chief Justice can choose judges for such matters. Malala stressed that earlier court orders stopping the impeachment process stay active. These orders also prevented Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki from taking over as deputy president. The appeals court judges Daniel Musinga, Mumbi Ngugi, and Francis Tuiyott decided that judge assignments belong only to the Chief Justice. Gachagua's lawyers had fought Mwilu's decision to send files to Judges...
UDA Ditches Orwoba Over Loyalty Snub
UDA plans to break up with Senator Gloria Orwoba because she seems disloyal to the party. Party Treasurer Japheth Nyakundi said they want her gone after she sent a message to him and UDA Majority Whip Sylvanus Osoro, saying the Gusii Community watches them. Nyakundi told her loyalty matters most in politics, but she failed that test. He wished her luck with her new party leader. The party called Orwoba to face discipline for hanging out with people who oppose UDA. They listed three bad actions - she welcomed former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i at the airport, attended his homecoming party, and criticized a government work program on the radio. The party claims these actions show she supports another political group instead...
Cheluget Heirs Strike Surprise Land Deal with Govt
The Cheluget family agreed to sell their land to help settle families living there. Nancy Kirui spoke for the family at a news conference, saying they support President Ruto's plan.

President Ruto told locals he would buy the land for them during his visit to Sogoo. He ordered officials to finish the deal fast. About 600 people moved onto the land around 1999.

Epic A8 Jam Grinds Kenya Highway To Halt
Heavy traffic jams clogged the A8 highway between Kariandusi and Nakuru overnight because drivers kept overlapping lanes. The Kenya National Highways Authority blamed driver misbehavior for the mess. Their teams are working with police to fix the problem, but need motorists to stop cutting lines. Travelers can find other ways around the jam until traffic returns to normal. The authority suggests using either the Gilgil-Olkalou-Dundori-Lanet road or the Flyover-Njambini-Olkalou-Dundori-Lanet path. The A8 connects Nairobi to Nakuru and western Kenya. This spot often backs up during busy travel times. Officials haven't said when the jam might clear up completely. Traffic officers remain on site, helping drivers through the congestion...
UDA Hits Orwoba With Disloyalty Summons
UDA party leaders ordered Senator Orwoba to answer for three rule breaks. They dislike her airport greeting for the old cabinet man, Matiangi. Her visit to his stadium party made them mad. They hate her radio talk against the government's work plans. The party says she shows love to other groups instead of the UDA. She must visit the party offices on May 16 at nine a.m. to explain herself. Leaders might push her out if she fails to give good reasons. Orwoba has stayed quiet about these claims all day today. Matiangi came back from his time away with a big party speech. He wants the president's job next time voting happens.
Make CDF Law and Keep the Lights On
Energy leader says money given to local places helps power up homes. PS Wachira visited Thika, where he saw new electric lines light up Matathia village. This program lets lawmakers give five million shillings, which the energy office matches with another five million. The partnership brought power to about 200 families who lived without electricity before. Many areas once called dark cities can finally run fridges, lights, and TVs after the sun goes down. Shop owner Catherine Wairimu is happy her store can stay open later with lights. She thanked officials for keeping promises about bringing power to rural homes. The energy office plans to connect 1,750 houses this year alone across Kenya. Officials asked people not to steal or break...
Salasya Fires Back at UDA Rumors Before 2027 Bid
MP Salasya says nobody from UDA pays him for his run at president. He calls these rumors fake talk from scared people who see his growing fame. No money comes to him from the State House or any officials. He wants voters to know their local funds stay safe, and all projects are easy to find. Local schools, students, and hospitals can tell how he helps them without stealing cash. He claims a team of regular citizens backs his plans for change. His success comes from smart plans and his charm rather than deep pockets. The lawmaker told social media followers last month that he thought hard before deciding to run. He asked young people, women, workers, and business owners to walk with him toward a better Kenya. The 35-year-old promises to...
