President Ruto came back to Kenya recently after he traveled to Windhoek, the capital of Namibia. He went there specifically to see Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah become the new leader of Namibia. This marks a big change for Namibia because she's the first woman to lead their country as president.
Ruto congratulated President Nandi-Ndaitwah on this major achievement. He pointed out how important it is that Namibia joins other African countries with women as their top leaders. This shows real progress across the continent, with more women stepping into leadership roles.
According to President Ruto, Kenya plans to build even stronger connections with Namibia. He talked about how both countries will continue working together in ways that help...
Raphael Tuju sent a letter to Chief Justice Martha Koome on March 21, 2025, raising serious concerns about five Supreme Court Judges. The letter points out that these judges should protect the law, run fair trials, and defend the Constitution. Tuju thinks they're failing at these jobs.
Tuju talked about the 2022 presidential case when Kenya almost fell into chaos. The judges used harsh words like "hot air" and "wild goose chase." He believes they should have talked more carefully since they do such important work and even dress like bishops.
He claims the judges made things worse instead of better during tense times. Their words were like "pouring petrol into the fire." Tuju mentioned videos going around online showing four of seven...
Joyce Kamene Kasimbi from Machakos wants Speaker Moses Wetangula to accept what the court decided about Azimio having more members in Parliament.

Kasimbi urged Wetangula to do what the law requires by recognizing Azimio as the larger group in Parliament.
The Woman Representative also asked Treasury officials to send money to counties right away. She explained that counties face many problems because they lack funds to provide services. The Governors have spoken up about these delays causing troubles across Kenya. Kasimbi plans to lead other lawmakers next week to push the...

The US government will end legal protection for about 532,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. These people must leave America by April 24 unless they change their immigration status through other means. President Donald Trump promised the biggest removal of non-citizens ever seen in American history, especially targeting people from Latin American countries. The protection expires just 30 days after the Department of Homeland Security publishes its new rule on Tuesday.
All these immigrants arrived through a program started by former President Joe Biden in October 2022. He later expanded it in January 2023. The program lets up to 30,000 people enter each month from these four nations where human rights problems...

Geoff Nyarota passed away at his home in Harare yesterday. The famous Zimbabwean reporter lived 74 years before losing his battle with illness. He made his name when he revealed the Willowgate scandal, which caught ministers buying cars secretly. Many remember him as the first person to run the Daily Newspaper.

He also published two other important books: Against the Grain and The Graceless Fall of Mugabe. These writings came after his long career exposing corruption through journalism.
More details about his life and funeral plans will come later from his family. The news...
Land sharks have started taking over protected areas like greenways and wetlands in Harare because of the government's urban building program. These people sell pieces of land to anyone wanting a home. They claim they act under the official densification plan launched by Winston Chitando, who served as Minister of Local Government and Public Works. The program began in October 2023 through Local Development Plan Number 20.
Many Harare citizens worry about how this program creates opportunities for corruption in land deals. Jaweet Maponga lived in Mabelreign for over 22 years before finding a greenway behind his house suddenly blocked off. He said they woke up one day to find the other end closed. Someone told them to harvest their...
More than 1,500 farmers across Mangwe District benefit from a goat breeding program funded by Goal Zimbabwe in partnership with the government. The Irish government backs this five-year project, which combines agriculture, nutrition, water sanitation, and business growth strategies.

Ruth Sauramba, Acting District Development Coordinator, explained how the program helps local communities market their goats, learn feeding techniques, and build farming skills through hands-on training. The project includes 1,500 farmers plus 202 young people who received training in both crop and livestock...
