Moses Wetang'ula, who leads the National Assembly, has asked other leaders to stop pointing fingers about Kenya's problems. He wants everyone to come together and fix issues instead. He noticed many leaders look at each other with hatred based on ethnic backgrounds. He reminded them that Kenyans trusted them with leadership roles, which come with big responsibilities.
Wetang'ula spoke at Elvis Murakana's burial in Nalepo Village, Kajiado county. Elvis is the son of Beatrice Elachi, who serves as Dagoretti MP. He praised President William Ruto and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga for realizing that Kenya matters more than personal interests. He invited critics watching from the sidelines to join efforts to build their country...
People in Darajani, Makueni county, lost several cows when floodwaters carried them away from a bridge. The River Kambu overflowed after heavy Friday rains. A video on X shows locals trying to guide cattle across the bridge right before disaster struck. The strong water current pulled the animals one by one into the river as they tumbled downstream.
Heavy rain pounded the lower eastern region Friday, causing widespread flood damage. At Katama Primary School in Mumoni, Mwingi North, powerful winds ripped roofs off six classrooms and several offices, including the principal's. The damaged rooms included a Grade 9 classroom still under construction. Headteacher Michael Ndunga told local media that the intense storms hit just after...
Kikuyu lawmaker Kimani Ichungwah fired back at people who label him with mean nicknames. He believes these names try to weaken leaders working with the government and pull their focus away from real problems facing citizens. During his Saturday speech at an event in Igembe North, Meru county, he asked critics to talk about useful things instead of making up rude titles. The politician defended his work record and said his leadership comes from helping citizens, not from empty talk against others.
Ichungwah mentioned hearing all the names they call him but stated he would still answer if it meant the Kahero road would receive pavement. He stressed that road improvements and market construction matter most to regular people. Progress...
President Ruto fired Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi, giving Deputy President Kithure Kindiki an apparent victory. Muturi comes from Embu County inside Mount Kenya East, where Kindiki wants to build his political power base. The former Attorney General became a problem for the government team. His strong influence threatened Kindiki's plans to unite his home region behind him.
Kindiki visited Mbeere North with Geoffrey Ruku, the nominee for public service cabinet secretary, just before the news about Muturi came out. This trip showed how Kindiki hoped to strengthen his position after Muturi left the government. During his visit, Kindiki checked on a large irrigation project worth Sh258 million. He stated that better...

Methu admitted the commission offered him this raise starting April 1, but he flat-out refused it. He shared on social media that he never requested more money and plans to send an official letter turning down the offer. He pushed other lawmakers to follow his example because the President...
