Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube believes Gweru can become a major investment hub if its old airfield becomes a modern airport. He visited the Midlands capital recently to share this vision. The city sits at Zimbabwe's center near important industrial operations, which makes it perfect for better air connections. This upgrade could help Zimbabwe reach its Vision 2030 goals through economic growth.
The minister explained that a working airport would help business travel, shipping, and investment flows. Many large companies operate in Midlands Province, such as Dinson Iron Steel Company at Manhize, ZimAlloys, Mimosa Mining Company, Unki Mines, and Sable Chemicals. Limited air access currently prevents efficient business movement into the...
Medical aid members face healthcare problems as fraud threatens these groups. People report bad practices like doctors giving more medicine than needed. Some members work with medical providers to help unregistered people use services. Doctors may send patients to certain places for personal gain instead of the patients' needs. These actions hurt the money medical aid groups need to help their members.
The Association of Healthcare Funders warns these practices make healthcare cost more. They use systems like biometrics to stop fraud, but struggle when members help break the rules. Anyone caught faces blacklisting or police reports. Medical aid societies keep lists of bad actors to protect other groups. Technology helps catch false...

DCI chief Mohamed Amin dismissed Rigathi Gachagua's danger claims through the media. He told the former Deputy President to file reports at police stations instead of talking to the press about security fears. Police would help him like any other citizen if he properly reported threats. Amin supported Inspector General Douglas Kanja's earlier directions on this matter. He asked Gachagua to work with officers rather than make public statements.
The Inspector General asked Gachagua to inform the police before attending events. This would let them plan security measures properly for his public appearances. Kanja wanted better coordination with the former official about his movements. Gachagua sent a letter to President Ruto claiming...
Ichungwah spoke out against ethnic politics during his Friday visit to Kajiado. He warned that local people want peace rather than division from visiting opposition leaders. The Kikuyu MP asked residents to reject those bringing tribal politics to their area. He urged opposition figures to stop focusing only on removing President Ruto as their main goal. People care more about development issues affecting their daily lives.
He pointed out that Ruto helps citizens through housing projects, road construction, and job creation for youth. The opposition recently campaigned in Mlolongo with messages simply about removing the president. Ichungwah suggested these politicians should explain their actual plans instead. He attended an NGAAF...
Kenya plans to spend Sh500 million on coffee seedlings to help farmers grow more coffee. The government wants to give out 20 million seedlings every year to all areas where coffee grows. Patrick Kilemi from the State Department for Cooperatives met with farmers about this program. He said the Coffee Research Institute will provide high-yield varieties. Kenya currently produces much less coffee than Uganda or Ethiopia.
Old coffee plants cause low production because they only produce well for about 20 years. The government has made changes that have improved coffee prices for farmers. They separated the roles of millers, buyers, and brokers to remove middlemen at the Nairobi Coffee Exchange. Farmers can also access cheaper fertilizer...
Kebaso Morara claims Kenya's opposition lacks a real vision for the country. He shared a video Saturday saying they only want to remove President William Ruto and have no plans beyond that. He warned young Kenyans not to support what he called "tribalism" or "clueless opposition leaders." He believes citizens should think about fixing corruption, creating jobs, and addressing justice issues.
Morara asked important questions about the opposition: What would happen after removing Ruto? How would they handle corruption? What plans exist for helping jobless youth? How would they address police brutality victims? According to him, these concerns matter more than tribal alliances.
His comments seem surprising after he recently met with...
