Uhuru Kenyatta stays quiet these days because speaking causes him problems with leaders in power. He shared this at Kimoi Moi's wedding party, saying nobody wants to hear from someone who faces trouble when talking. The former president told how Daniel Moi selected him among established politicians, leading to his presidency years later. He urged young people to start their leadership journey early without fear. Kenyatta promised his support for the youth.
His comments follow criticism from government officials who accused him of using young people against the current administration. These accusations came after his speech at Makerere University, where he told student leaders they must protect Africa's future. He reminded them that...
Kenya sees fewer cattle raids this year as police step up efforts, says Interior Minister Murkomen. Stock theft cases fell to 167 from January through March, down from 263 during the same time last year. Stolen livestock numbers dropped to 4,935 animals compared with 8,557 in early 2024. The death toll also went down, with 21 people killed instead of 58 last year.
Murkomen praised security teams for working together against these crimes. He pointed to several problems that make fighting bandits hard. These include illegal guns, profit-driven theft, political meddling, fights over water during dry spells, land disputes, and hideouts in areas with poor roads and phone service.
The government plans to build better schools and roads to...
Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga claims people spread false information about MP Ong'ondo Were's murder on social media. She visited the late lawmaker's home, where she said the disinformation seemed planned to shift focus from his killing. The governor did not name who might be behind what she called a funded effort.
Wanga also said Were told police many times he feared for his life. She mentioned he wrote to the Inspector General about these threats. The governor asked what steps officers took after he reported his concerns.
The Director of Criminal Investigations announced Friday that they identified possible suspects in Were's murder. They described the crime as targeted and planned. DCI officials continue looking into all possible...
Bandit attacks killed 21 people in early 2025. The dead count includes one police officer, eight normal citizens, and twelve suspects. Last year saw 58 deaths during these same months. Cattle-stealing cases went down to 167 from 263 in early 2024. Thieves took 4,935 animals compared to 8,557 last year.
Kenya faces many problems fighting bandits. Illegal guns spread through rural areas, and markets exist where stolen animals sell easily. Politicians often stir up trouble between groups. People fight over water and grass during dry times, and bad roads and poor phone signals help criminals hide from police.
The government plans to build more schools and roads, and police will receive better tools to fight crime. CS Murkomen asked...
Police found a man with 35 liters of homemade alcohol in Matungulu. Officers destroyed over 1000 liters of brewing liquid during their early morning search. They took the suspect to the Tala police station after seizing his brewing equipment. He faces charges in court on Monday.

They later talked with local people about the harm these drinks cause. Wekesa asked everyone to call the free number 1192 to report illegal brewing.
The government plans similar searches every week throughout the area. Many families suffer because of these unsafe drinks. Some people...

Australians seemed to prefer stability amid global...

Western Kenya leaders backed two key funds at a school event in Vihiga County. They want people to speak up about these funds at public meetings starting Monday. National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula asked leaders to focus less on politics and more on helping communities. He told them their careers depend on serving people well.
Luanda MP Dick Maungu said the money belongs to citizens, not lawmakers. Local representatives urged everyone to attend Monday's meetings to share views about these programs. Fred Ikana from Shinyalu praised how both funds change lives at the local level. Marianne Kaitany pointed out that these funds build schools and create chances for children.
Beatrice Elachi explained that boards manage the money, not...
Moses Kuria says most people running for president have no clue what the job really means. He points out that Kenya must pay Sh1.3 trillion for debts from past spending mistakes. The country spends Sh1.7 trillion to keep the government running. About Sh680 billion goes to pay workers, whom many call wasteful. No one can fix this problem because jobless Kenyans defend civil servants who take resources from everyone else.
The government runs many social programs, like Free Education for Sh700 billion. It gives Sh400 billion to state companies that do little good. Counties receive Sh471 billion that nobody can question without being called anti-county. Only Sh291 billion remains for real progress—just 6.9% of all money. Kuria wishes good...
