A Nakuru town morgue faces public anger as families claim they charge way too much money. One family says PNN Workshop and Services Limited asked them to pay huge fees just to keep their loved one overnight.
The upset family told how they were hit with a bill of 35,000 Kenyan shillings. This included 10,000 shillings just to move the body from the hospital next door. When they went to pick up their relative, the staff at the front desk demanded 25,000 shillings. The family member, Vivian Kibue, asked why they wanted that much when overnight storage should cost 10,000 based on posted rates. The staff claimed the lower rate only applied to certain cases.
Mike Kibue Bweri's family believes the morgue raised their bill because they chose...
Medical tests show someone strangled Sylvia Kemunto to death. The first-year Multimedia University student fought hard against her attacker. Government doctor Johansen Oduor found neck injuries that proved someone had cut off her oxygen supply. The crime shocked people across the country.

Eric visited his sister Miriam in Kasarani on the 28th. They planned a Sunday hiking trip to Ololua. Miriam gave him rice to deliver somewhere. Eric met a woman at Kencom before heading to campus around noon. He talked with his roommates and asked for a chest bag they would need for hiking. He went to see Sylvia about the bag but...
County lawmakers from five Lake Victoria regions came together in Kisumu for special training about checking up on local governments. The classes started this week as part of a national plan to make sure elected officials know how to watch over public money. Representatives from Kisumu, Homa Bay, Siaya, Migori, and Kisii attended first, with other counties scheduled later. These local leaders learned about their duties to keep county bosses honest when spending taxpayer cash.
"We want our MCAs better prepared for their accountability jobs, especially during budget creation," explained Migori Senator Eddy Oketch at the event. The Local Governance Institute runs these workshops to boost county assemblies' ability to make laws, watch over...
The Senate Devolution Committee was shocked to learn that Nyamira County was running two separate assemblies at once. Each group holds meetings in different places, and both send letters asking for money from the national treasury.
Speaker Enock Okero lost his job four months ago but didn't accept it. He took the case to court, and it remains active today. He picked four spots, called them "Bunge Mashinani," and runs meetings there because he can't use the main building anymore.
On the opposite side stands Deputy Speaker Thaddeus Nyabaro, who claims he's the real Speaker. His team uses different rooms for their official business. The committee meeting almost turned violent when Senators Okong'o Omogeni from Nyamira and Richard Onyonka...
Mombasa County officials ordered Coast General Teaching and Referral Hospital to move all patients before tomorrow's controlled demolition. The eleven-story building next to Fayaz Bakery will come down on April 9, 2025, putting the medical facility at risk. Hospital CEO Dr. Iqbal Khandwalla sent out information on Tuesday asking staff members to help patients relocate safely during this dangerous situation. He requested every department pitch in for a smooth transfer process, as patient safety comes first in this emergency.
The demolition crews expect the takedown operation to last approximately eight hours from start to finish. Local residents must leave their homes temporarily for their protection during the scheduled work. Anyone...
The Kisii Anti-Corruption Court saw former County Assembly Speaker David Ondimu Kombo face serious charges on Monday. Police accused Kombo of misusing his power as Speaker back in October 2017. According to court papers, he helped Everline Moraa Maraburi become a Clerical Officer without following proper hiring rules. The case grows more complex because Maraburi happens to be related to another official – she's the niece of Deputy Clerk Daniel Mbaka Omwoyo.
Prosecutor Job Okelo told the judge that Kombo broke the law inside the Kisii County Assembly building. The prosecution believes Kombo worked alongside Omwoyo to bypass normal hiring procedures. Court records show authorities already charged Omwoyo separately for his alleged role in...
Kenya's Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi recently spoke against rumors claiming that Sudan's Rapid Support Forces formed a parallel government. He cleared the air about meetings held in Nairobi in February 2025. According to Mudavadi, Kenya simply provided a space for peace talks as part of regional unity efforts. These meetings included many Sudanese groups - not just RSF leaders but also special envoys, civil society members, political parties, and local community voices.
All participants agreed on creating a structure to help bring peace back to Sudan. Mudavadi emphasized that Kenya stayed out of the actual discussions. The Kenyan government considers these talks matters for Sudanese people only. He firmly stated that Kenya...
The army just arrived in Mombasa because a tall building started falling apart. Military teams came after officials published special papers on April 7. The big eleven-floor structure at Kilifi Corner began breaking down last week. Houses plus shops near this damaged spot face real danger as foundations sink into the ground. Our laws let the government call these soldiers when regular rescue teams need help with big problems.
Security teams asked everyone living close by to leave their homes right away. The breaking building sits on Fayaz Estate next to Abdel Nasser Road. Defence leader Soipan Tuya signed papers making this army help legal. Teams plan to knock down the entire structure tomorrow during an eight-hour job. Anyone who...
Murkomen slammed Muturi for keeping secret papers. He told reporters that Muturi broke rules when he saved official files. As past Attorney General, Muturi promised to keep government stuff private. Murkomen thinks Muturi saved these papers for bad reasons. He said other countries would put someone like Muturi in jail fast.
Muturi talked on TV about President Ruto making crooked money deals. He claimed he saved proof in his emails as backup. Murkomen fired back, "Every AG handles secret papers marked 'top secret.' These belong to the government, not you. Anyone who copies official papers for two years acts wrong. These papers never become personal stuff. You can't hide behind fighting crooks."
Murkomen mentioned Hillary Clinton from...
