Kenya Pipeline Company built more than just a volleyball team. Through steady support for over 40 years, KPC turned the Oilers into one of Africa's best squads. The company sees volleyball as both a sport and a way to spread its name. Their backing goes beyond money, covering training spaces, equipment, coaches, and medical care.
KPC managing director Joe Sang says sports matter deeply to the company. The Oilers feature top national players like Noel Murambi and Leonida Kasaya, who helped put Kenya on the map. The team mixes veteran talent with rising stars such as Faith Imodia and Marian Sokoiyo. Coach Geoffrey Omondi focuses on improving players and fixing weak spots.
Captain Gladys Ekaru joined in 2019 and keeps pushing the team...
Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka says Raila Odinga should step away from politics despite his strong legacy. He praised Raila for advancing democracy, but thinks new leaders need their chance. The senator believes a good player must know when to leave the stage. He made these remarks during a May 5 talk show.
Onyonka explained he shifted support to Fred Matiang'i because he disagrees with Raila joining President Ruto. He noted that his thirty-year relationship with Raila remains special, but his voters want Raila to preserve his name for history. The community feels Raila should have stayed independent instead of teaming up with the government. Onyonka warned that Raila might face problems like those after his 2018 handshake with Uhuru...
Police found an officer dead, hanging from a tree near his home in Turbi, Marsabit County, early Sunday morning. He had recently returned to duty after spending time in rehab, according to his fellow officers. Investigators discovered no suicide note at the scene. They moved his body to the Marsabit Referral Hospital morgue for an autopsy.
This death adds to the growing number of police suicides nationwide, with about three cases reported monthly. Many link these deaths to job stress faced daily on the force. The National Police Service Commission has started counseling services to help officers cope with mental health issues. Their new unit aims to prevent mental health problems through special outreach programs.

President Ruto fired back at his political rivals, saying Kenyans will not vote based on tribal lines, anger, or hate in 2027. He urged opponents to develop clear plans instead of pushing division among citizens. He told Rongo residents that voters will judge candidates on their ideas for development rather than personal traits.
"You will decide who leads - not because of beauty but because of plans for roads, electricity, water," Ruto said to the crowd. His comments came just after opposition figures met at former Deputy President Gachagua's home, where they announced plans to team up against him in the next election.
Key leaders at that gathering included Kalonzo Musyoka, Eugene Wamalwa, Fred Matiang'i, and Martha Karua. Ruto...
Tourists flocked to Victoria Falls Rainforest early this year. Between January and March, the number of visitors grew to 61,139, up from 59,718 during the same months last year. Foreign travelers made up most of the increase, with international guests rising from 44,110 to 47,633. People from Europe, especially Britain, Ireland, and Germany, came because travel companies offered special trips to the falls.
Better air travel helped bring more visitors. The expanded Victoria Falls Airport and new flight paths from places like Frankfurt attracted German tourists. The KAZA visa program made crossing between Zimbabwe and Zambia easier for people wanting to see both sides of the waterfall. South Africa sent the most regional visitors...
CABS joined forces with Pick n Pay and the Cancer Association of Zimbabwe to offer free cancer checks where women need them most. Zimbabwe faces serious health issues as cervical cancer hits about 1,000 women each year, making it the second most common female cancer. Breast cancer also kills many women nationwide. Bank leaders believe early testing saves lives.
CABS manager Mehluli Mpofu said his bank wants to help communities beyond money matters. His team previously raised funds through store campaigns like Swipe for Pink. They plan to bring medical services directly to neighborhoods instead of just helping with treatment costs. Health experts say finding cervical cancer early can cut death rates up to 80 percent.

Zimbabwe opened its first smart grain silos today in Kwekwe. President Mnangagwa launched the new 56,000-ton storage system that uses artificial intelligence to protect crops. The facility holds seven modern silos that started working with wheat deliveries yesterday.
These storage units contain special sensors that monitor temperature, moisture levels, and gases inside. When problems appear, fans turn on automatically to keep grain dry and prevent mold growth. The computer brain studies all this information to prevent trouble before it happens. It checks each grain load coming in and sends it to the right storage area. The system saves energy by running only when needed.
The government plans thirteen more of these high-tech sites...
Farmers met Monday as President Mnangagwa opened new smart grain silos at Kwekwe depot. The facility holds 56,000 tons with seven modern storage units that received their first wheat yesterday. These high-tech silos help the government store more grain, cut harvest losses, and keep food available during hard times. The country faces recovery challenges after El Niño drought hurt crops across southern Africa.
Officials built these silos to protect grain supplies through better storage buildings. Similar projects appear in Beitbridge, Gwanda, Lupane, Gokwe, Masvingo, and Mutare. Each location stores 8,000 tons of grain toward a national goal of 1.5 million tons capacity, double what exists today. Better storage helps during dry spells...
Family members asked the court to free musician Chillmaster after he promised to care for a dead man's children. Lucia Charambira told the judge that Chillmaster paid funeral costs and half the money they wanted for damages. She believed he should go free because he planned to pay school fees for the children. His lawyers said he also offered monthly food until the kids turn 18. The court rejected these appeals.
Instead, it ordered Chillmaster to complete 420 hours of community work at Stoneridge Primary School for killing someone through careless driving. He must also pay $200 because he drove without a license. Chillmaster admitted guilt on both charges. The crash happened as he drove with three passengers and hit a person walking on...
