Nairobi doctors returned to work yesterday after being away for 39 days. They settled matters with Governor Johnson Sakaja. Dr. Davji Atellah from the doctors' union told everyone the strike ended because the county agreed to fix all their problems.
The doctors had asked for nine different things. The county said yes to bringing back fired doctors. They promised papers for 369 doctors, making their jobs permanent with retirement benefits. Doctors at Mama Lucy Hospital will finally receive the money they have earned since 2021 when May paychecks arrive. The county also agreed to pay extra cash to doctors who worked under the old city management system.
Many doctors will soon move up to better job levels. The plan gives 72 doctors spots...
Kenya faces a cholera problem right across the country. Health boss Aden Duale shared news that doctors found 97 sick people, with six who sadly died. These sicknesses showed up in just three places - Migori, Kisumu, and Nairobi counties. The trouble hit hardest in Migori, where 53 people became ill, and one person died. The sickness spread through several parts like Suna East, Suna West, Kuria East, and Kuria West.
Kisumu saw 32 people catch cholera, mainly in the Nyando and Muhoroni areas, with four deaths reported there. Nairobi counted 12 sick patients plus one death across many neighborhoods, including Kasarani, both Embakasi East and Central, Roysambu, Kibra, and Dagoretti South. Health teams explain that cholera comes from tiny...
South Africa wants Kenya to back their pick for the top job at the African Bank. Ms. Bajabulile Swazi Tshabalala hopes to run the African Development Bank after next month's vote. She came to Kenya last weekend with a helper named Ms. Ayanda Dlodlo. They met with Kenya's big boss, Musalia Mudavadi, who handles foreign matters. This trip forms part of her push across many African lands to win votes for the May contest.
Ms. Tshabalala worked under the current bank chief, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina from Nigeria, who led for ten years. She says Africa needs three main things: keeping going with good work already started, bringing fresh ideas to grow faster, and making sure everyone benefits. Her past job gave her more than just know-how—she...
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation pulled back a special deal with Kenya. They blame court battles that pushed their helpful work aside. Paulin Basinga runs Africa for the group. He promises they will keep offices across Kenya despite these changes. They plan to help people just as before. The deal stopped anyone from suing this charity in Kenya.
Kenya lawyers fought against this protection. They went to court, saying nobody should stand above local laws. During recent hearings, both sides agreed to cancel the agreement. Mr. Basinga explained that this happened because both parties wanted it. He said his team remains fully dedicated to Kenyan projects. They hope to focus again on making healthy changes with local partners.

Judge Robert Wananda feels angry. He told three cops from DCI that they must catch Ibrahim Rotich fast. These officers work for homicide and need to find this man right away. Rotich disappeared after he paid his bail with cash. The judge says this never should have happened. No one stood up to help Rotich pay—he just gave cash directly to the court.
The judge blamed lazy police work for letting Rotich run away. He ordered the officers to bring Rotich back no matter what happened. Rotich broke every rule the court gave him. He stayed locked up for two years before his release on bond. The court told him not to leave Uasin Gishu County. He also had to stay away from Iten town where Agnes Tirop died.
The court banned Rotich from talking...
Franklin Otieno Mokaya wants IEBC to split Bobasi into two areas. This lawyer asked the courts to make IEBC create Bobasi Borabu and Bobasi Chache from the current big area. He says people there need better help from leaders who can focus on smaller places. The case names many big officials as targets—IEBC leaders, both Parliament speakers, the main government lawyer, and MP Richard Onyonka.
Mokaya claims Bobasi missed its chance to split when other places divided. Back in 2013, nearby spots like Bomachoge and Kitutu Chache broke into smaller pieces. Bobasi stayed one big chunk despite having lots more people crammed inside it. The area covers Nyamache and Sameta, smaller regions with eight local sections. He believes this kept money...
Workers plan to tear down a broken ten-floor building tomorrow in Mombasa. The job starts early morning and runs all day. People who live close must leave their homes in Majengo until the workers finish. This helps keep everyone safe during the big takedown. The city wants empty streets around the danger zone.
Governor Abdulswamad Sheriff Nassir said doctors will move very sick patients from Makadara Hospital to other medical places before any work begins. He warned people to stay far away - at least one mile from the crash site. This includes anyone near Markiti market, the Buxton area, or City Blue. Your ears might hurt from loud noises if you stand close by.
"The falling building pieces won't harm your house, but loud booms can...
The courts just sentenced George Odiyo to almost seven years behind bars for messing with power lines. He can pay a big fine instead—over ten million shillings! The judge handed this sentence after Odiyo said yes to four different crimes. He broke power gear, stole electrical stuff, kept stolen parts, and did electrical jobs without proper papers.
Kenya Power shared news about what happened to this thief. For breaking stuff and stealing, each crime earned him three years unless he paid five million shillings per charge. His other bad choices added more time. Keeping stolen electrical parts? Five more months or pay one hundred thousand shillings. Doing electrical work without permission? Another five months or another hundred thousand...
The government took away Muturi's guards Monday night at 7:30. Two police officers who protected him because he served as National Assembly Speaker before heard they must stay away. These officers received messages saying Muturi fights against the government, which explains why they cannot help him anymore. Muturi told reporters on Tuesday that this news came after President Ruto fired him on March 26. He claims these scare tactics will fail just like earlier attempts.
Muturi spoke against the many kidnappings that have happened since last year when young people marched against Ruto. Kidnappers even grabbed Muturi's son for a time before letting him go. This experience pushed Muturi away from Cabinet meetings - he refused to join until...
