Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi dropped all charges against 16 young people accused of wrecking his Timba XO Club during protests in Eldoret. These youngsters faced legal trouble for allegedly taking items valued at Sh78 million from the club and damaging property worth more than Sh80 million at the establishment. Law enforcement arrested them following a demonstration on June 25 when people broke into and damaged the popular Eldoret nightspot.
The case ended after Principal Magistrate Cherono Kesse accepted a request from Timba director Samwel Lamayan. Prosecutor Silvester Thuo asked Lamayan why they decided to abandon the legal action. Lamayan explained that Sudi referred to the accused as "our children" and chose to forgive them completely...

Musali Mudavadi flew to Budapest for three days on official business. He plans to put his name on papers about farming and school programs in Hungary. These written deals will help both countries work together better. The Foreign Ministry told reporters he would shake hands with President Tama Sulyok during his stay.
Hungary sent its foreign guy, Péter Szijjártó, to Kenya early last year. That visit sparked this return trip, during which they can talk more about helping each other. The two nations want stronger ties because they see many chances to team up. Both governments believe these agreements open doors for new projects.
Every year, Hungary gives away 200 free college spots to Kenyan kids through its Stipendium Hungaricum...
Kenya wants cleaner rivers running through its capital city. Deputy President Kindiki told folks Monday about the big cleanup starting that same day. President Ruto came along for the announcement as he began his development tour through Nairobi. They visited Eastleigh, where Kindiki shared details about fixing dirty waterways across the metropolitan area.
Workers plan to clean rivers plus fix broken sewers throughout the entire city. These improvements should protect people from diseases carried by contaminated water. The project aims to reduce flooding problems that happen during heavy rains. Kindiki emphasized how these changes would make life better for regular citizens living near these waterways.
The Deputy President asked...
The Abagusii and Kuria people started planning a fresh political team for the elections coming in 2027. Both groups speak Bantu languages but live apart from each other. The Kuria folks stay mostly in Migori County. The Abagusii make their homes mainly across Kisii and Nyamira counties.
Leaders from these three counties met on Monday to discuss joining forces. The gathering pulled in big shots from the Senate and National Assembly, which represent these places. They invited chiefs who run government companies, college heads, important office workers, business leaders, and respected community advisors.
James Matundura heads the Kisii advisors group and showed up with Marwa Kitayama, who speaks for Kuria East. Matundura told reporters...
Dennis Itumbi says the former Deputy President hardly ever talked during government meetings. The Presidential Projects head claims Rigathi Gachagua made up stories about fighting against certain decisions. Cabinet records show Gachagua spoke fewer than seven times during his entire time working beside the President. Itumbi insists these digital records prove Gachagua never opposed anything at all.
Gachagua told people on Sunday that officials wanted to sell the Bomas cultural center to someone from Turkey. He bragged about standing alone against everyone else because they felt scared to speak up. Itumbi fired back, saying these statements contain zero truth. He explained that the government plans to improve Bomas instead of selling it...
Police found a fake cop running an illegal station last Saturday in Uasin Gishu. The pretend officer set up shop without permission at the Cheboror area in Kesses. Nobody knows exactly how long this bogus police post operated before real officers discovered it. The suspect lives in the Asis village of Ndugulu Location, according to officials.
Authorities continue investigating this strange situation. Creating real police stations requires extensive paperwork and official steps. Before opening, any legitimate station needs working cells, offices, bathrooms, and weapon storage. The law states that only the Inspector General can establish police stations.
The Inspector General must announce new stations through official gazette notices...
Kenya's Agriculture leader, Mutahi Kagwe, visited the United Arab Emirates Ambassador Salim Ibrahim Alnaqbi on Monday. They met at the UAE Embassy right here in Nairobi. Their talk focused on improving farm trade between both countries. The meeting aimed to build stronger connections based on deals they had already made.
Kenya joined hands with the UAE through a big trade deal called CEPA back in January 2025. This agreement knocked down barriers that made selling stuff hard. Kenyan farmers can sell more meat, fruits, veggies, and flowers overseas because of it. The UAE had never signed anything like this with any other country in mainland Africa before.
Business between these countries has been great lately. Money moving both ways...
