Gokwe Preps for a Big Independence Day Bash
People across Gokwe are excited about the Independence Day bash and Uhuru Cup, which will soon be held at Nembudziya's open grounds. Everyone involved promises a fun celebration that will showcase the best parts of their district and rich heritage. The big party will move to Gokwe in the Midlands Province because President Mnangagwa wants national events spread around different parts of Zimbabwe. This matches his push for spreading power from the center to local areas. The District Development Co-ordinator, Martin Musakanda, told reporters about all the work happening at the main location. His teams have already finished about 75 percent of the football field and running track upgrades. Workers made serious progress on many buildings...

Tracktion Dawesome HATE brings crazy distortion vibes
Tracktion just launched a brand new plugin for music makers. They named it Dawesome HATE. This plugin creates distortion using wavetable processing techniques. The company designed it as the opposite twin to their LOVE plugin, letting users craft everything from slight warmth to completely mangled audio chaos. You can simply drag any audio file directly into HATE. The plugin automatically builds a custom saturation profile from your sound. It displays like a guitar pedalboard where you link up to six effect modules in a chain. Musicians can choose from 29 different effects ranging from standard compressors to unique sound-bending tools that transform audio in extreme ways. Music producers will love all the knobs and sliders for deep...

NPS clears up Haiti mission cash mix up
The police in Kenya fixed false reports about money spent in Haiti. News stories from March 14, 2025, claimed the Haiti mission cost Sh4.5 billion. Police officer Muchiri Nyaga said reporters never asked the police chief about these wrong numbers. Nyaga explained the real budget for Haiti work in 2024/25 is only Sh2.1 billion. He stated clearly that Kenya pays nothing because the United Nations pays all costs. The police already received US$7,210,030.56, equal to about Sh933,546,317.60 in Kenya money. Each month, the UN sends worker pay directly to Kenya. This cash first arrives at the Central Bank then moves to the government account. Kenya follows Article 206 of their Constitution, which created a special fund where all government...

Ruto Visit Turns Messy with Goons on the Loose
Police caught 38 people after attacks during President Ruto's Nairobi tour. The police said they would punish anyone who harmed citizens during these events. The attacks took place on big roads like Thika Highway and Jogoo Road. The arrested people are in jail waiting for their day in court. Police took seven motorcycles and many cell phones as proof. These people will face judges on Monday for crimes like violent robbery and planning to break the law. Police added more officers when Ruto went out for his fifth day of visits Friday. This happened because bad things occurred in the first four days. Criminals took this chance to rob both drivers and walkers during these presidential visits. Police think some politicians brought these...
Raila says we need work not endless campaigning
Raila Odinga wants politicians to stop campaigning early and let the country focus on development. He believes constant political talk hurts Kenya's progress and insists the right time for politics will come later. He criticized those demanding President Ruto's removal, asking what would happen next if he left office. "Ruto must go? Then what? There is no need. 2027 will arrive eventually, but Kenyans face problems that need fixing today, not someday later. We can't spend five straight years playing politics—our nation won't move forward that way," Odinga stated. "Running the country in permanent campaign mode stops all work. We need time for actual development before campaign season starts again. People must survive between today and...
Sifuna on Not Joining Ruto for City Tours
ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna made it clear why he skipped President Ruto's Nairobi visits. Speaking at a funeral in Machakos on Saturday, he explained that nothing in the agreement between ODM and UDA requires him to follow the President around. "After we signed those papers, I knew people would start making up fake rules," Sifuna told mourners at Colonel James Gitahi's burial. "I saw headlines claiming I avoided Ruto's meetings. The agreement never says the ODM Secretary General must tag along with the President everywhere." Sifuna pointed out that when Raila attended a Kiambu funeral recently, UDA's Secretary General wasn't there either - because that's not part of the deal. He emphasized that President Ruto himself...
