Kenya's soccer team Harambee Stars came up short against Gabon yesterday, losing 2-1 in an exciting World Cup qualifying match. Former Arsenal player Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gave Gabon the lead early, scoring just 16 minutes into the game. He added another goal from a penalty kick right after halftime, putting his team ahead by two goals.
Kenya fought back when team captain Michael Olunga found the net, but they couldn't catch up completely. This victory pushed Gabon to the top spot in Group F with 15 points. Ivory Coast sits in second place with 13 points. Kenya remains stuck in fourth position with only 6 points to show from their matches.
The stadium buzzed with energy as fans packed the seats completely - something that hasn't...
Andy Peebles died at age 76, his family recently announced. He worked as a DJ for BBC Radio 1 from 1978 until 1992. During his career, he appeared many times on Top of the Pops throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Peebles became part of music history when he interviewed John Lennon just two days before someone murdered the famous musician in December 1980.
Many friends and former coworkers shared memories of Peebles after hearing the news. They described him as both wonderful and talented behind the microphone. His journey started in 1948 and he spent his early career playing music at nightclubs during the late 1960s before he moved into radio broadcasting. He first joined BBC Radio Manchester in 1973, then helped create the independent...
Justin Muturi says he refuses to join President Ruto when he visits the Mt. Kenya region. The Public Service Cabinet Secretary made it clear he never tags along with presidents just because they travel somewhere. He pointed out that even during Uhuru Kenyatta's time as president, Muturi stayed away from presidential trips.
Muturi explained this position after meeting with Kikuyu elders last Saturday in Kiambu. He added he would only travel with Ruto if the trip directly connected to his job duties. Muturi has become one of the biggest critics inside the government itself. He skipped several important Cabinet meetings recently.
The CS asked President Ruto for permission to stop attending Cabinet meetings until they discuss kidnappings...

Someone just sued to stop Charles Nyachae and Joy Mdivo from interviewing for Kenya's top election job. A group called Operation Linda Jamii claims these two candidates broke the rules because they still work for the government at the moment. The lawsuit says this violates Article 260 of Kenya's Constitution, which doesn't let people hold multiple government jobs at once.
Nyachae currently runs the Council of the Kenya School of Government. Mdivo leads both the Kenya Power Board and handles election disputes for the United Democratic Alliance political party. This last job especially worries critics since the election commission must stay neutral about politics. They believe letting someone with party connections run elections creates...
Farmers across Kenya will receive over one million bags of cheaper fertilizer starting Monday, March 24. The supply ran into brief transportation problems earlier. Agriculture leader Mutahi Kagwe shared this news on Saturday after many farmers faced empty shelves at government storage centers.
People who visited National Cereals Board locations recently couldn't cash in their digital voucher messages for fertilizer. These electronic coupons help farmers buy needed growing supplies at lower prices. Kagwe promised all these supply headaches would be fixed right before the big farming season started.
The government has loaded train cars with fertilizer from the coast at Mombasa. The first big shipment reaches Naivasha by Sunday morning...

Heathrow Airport came back online Saturday after a power station fire messed up travel plans for thousands. The airport said everything was working again, but travelers should expect delays and canceled flights as the busiest airport in Europe tries to catch up. A fire at an electricity substation cut all power to the London airport on Friday, forcing it to close most of the day. Some planes started landing and taking off by evening, but the shutdown left thousands of travelers stuck worldwide.
Many people are asking hard questions about how such an important part of UK infrastructure could fail so completely. An airport spokesperson announced Saturday morning that Heathrow had reopened completely. Airport staff members were working...
Felix Koskei came down hard on bandits who caused trouble in the North Rift area of Kenya. As Head of Public Service, he promised the government would fight these criminals who have stopped growth in that region. He talked about this at Koloa Secondary School during a Thanksgiving event there. He wants to change the area from what he calls a valley of death into a safe place.
His tough talk happened right after the bandits killed a chief. The murder took place during a raid in Loruk, located in Baringo North when the chief got caught in gunfire. Koskei made it clear they plan to make Tiaty safer despite all the problems. He stressed they refuse to let anyone label North Rift as dangerous forever.
Koskei shared words from the...
