After Mr. Gachagua left office, President Ruto appointed Mr. Kindiki, the head of security, as the new second-in-command. The lawmakers approved this choice, and Mr. Kindiki started his new job on November 1, 2024.
Since his beginning, Mr. Kindiki has stayed very busy. He runs many big meetings, looks at building work all over the country, and checks how each area is doing with the plans the government promised before the elections in 2022. He also stands in for the President at events.
He met with more than 10,000 local leaders at his home. He asked leaders from his area to back the government. He said he would help the government even if he were not second-in-command because it helps everyone.
Early in his new job, Mr. Kindiki...
The weather office says rain will come to Kenya starting in mid-March. Their report from February 28 says some places will have plenty of rain, but others will see less than normal.
Dr David Gikungu runs the weather service. He tells farmers they should talk to farm helpers in their area and prepare their lands. These rains will help the dry, dusty ground across the country.
Many counties will see rain by mid-March. These include Nairobi, Kiambu, Embu, Nyandarua, Laikipia, Nyeri, Kirinyaga, Murang'a, Meru and Tharaka Nithi. Areas like Kitui, Machakos, Makueni, Kajiado, and Taita Taveta will also start to feel wet around the same time.
The main rainy season should begin between the second and third week of March. Dr Gikungu explains...
Tourism Secretary Rebecca Miano plans to visit Nairobi National Park today, March 1. The Kenya Wildlife Service said she will arrive in the afternoon.
The visit comes after fires broke out in many national parks across Kenya. Secretary Miano wants to see the burnt areas herself and hear from KWS leaders about what happened. She also hopes to thank the firefighters who worked hard to stop the flames.
KWS will tell reporters what they learn during this visit. Just yesterday, two fires started in different parts of Nairobi National Park. One fire near Wilson Airport was put out fast thanks to KWS staff working with Nairobi County workers.
Another fire began at 4 p.m. near Athi Basin Dam. Many groups, including KWS, Kenya Defense Forces...
Five miners lived through six awful days stuck deep inside a mine in Filabusi. They stayed alive by drinking small bits of mahewu sent down with a rope. The darkness almost took them, but they made it back.
Charles Ndebele runs this gold mine. He did not tell the Civil Protection Unit, local Fire Brigade, or police when his workers got trapped. After the miners came out safe, someone made a video. This person told the saved men that their boss kept quiet about their trouble.
These safety groups usually help people stuck in fallen shafts. They check if the trapped folks can be saved without putting rescue teams at risk.
Local people and other miners started looking for them three days after the ground fell in. Mr. Ndebele told...
Sindiso Ndlovu stands out from the crowd. She loves the Dynamos soccer team even though she lives next to Barbourfields Stadium in Mzilikazi. Most folks there cheer for the Highlanders. The team has royal roots. King Mzilikazi's grandsons started it back in 1926.
People pick their teams freely, but some choices seem odd. A black-and-white flag in Mbare would look strange, as would Barcelona gear in Madrid. These things break with what people expect.
Sindiso broke with normal jobs. She worked drawing maps at the Zimbabwe Statistics Agency. Then she left to drive big trucks across borders.
She first dreamed of trucks in grade five. A woman drove her school bus to Masvingo from Hwange. This amazed her. She thought if that lady could...
Farmer Lingiwe Ravasingadi from Kwekwe uses drones to fight the African armyworm. These flying machines help her protect her crops from bugs that eat plants.
Drones fly without a person inside them. They have cameras and tools that spray bug killers. The farmer controls them from the ground. These machines can find exactly where the bad bugs are and spray just those spots, saving money on chemicals and helping the earth stay clean.
Ms Ravasingadi feels good about her farm even with the pest problem. The heavy rains helped her crops grow well. Her corn plants are making milk inside the ears. She thinks she will grow 10 tons of corn on each hectare of her 120-hectare farm. She did well because she used good farming methods, and the...
The Zimbabwe Information Minister, Dr Jenfan Muswere, says media freedom does not include asking people to remove a government they voted for. He made these clear points at the birthday party for 3K Television. The TV station has been running for three years.
Dr Muswere talked about rules media must follow as Zimbabwe moves toward Vision 2030. The law gives people the right to speak freely and share news. It lets them find out facts. But these rights do not mean anyone can tell others to kick out the current leaders.
Media freedom and the safety of reporters must be protected. The Zimbabwe Media Commission works with news teams to help them grow. Facts matter most when sharing news. The President often says the country is built by its...
President Mnangagwa spoke yesterday about African nations working together. He said they must honor what their founding fathers started. They need to build a better future for young people.
He shared these thoughts at a memorial for Dr Sam Nujoma, the founding father of Namibia. The event happened at Independence Stadium. President Mnangagwa explained that Dr Nujoma knew freedom meant more than just political independence. It also includes fair treatment for all people and lasting growth.
Dr Nujoma led Namibia from 1990 to 2005. He died on February 8, 2025, at age 95, in a hospital in Windhoek. Many speakers praised him for fighting against colonialism. He fought not just for Namibia but for other African countries.
President...
President Mnangagwa plans to open the rebuilt Mbare Market in two weeks after a big fire burned it down last November. This opening starts a big plan to build better markets all across the country. These new markets will give small business owners and sellers safe, clean places to work.
Local Government Minister Daniel Garwe shared this news with senators on Thursday. He said after the Mbare fire destroyed goods worth millions of dollars, President Mnangagwa asked his team to create a plan for new markets everywhere.
"We are looking beyond just Harare," Minister Garwe explained. The government approved the plan and decided to fix Mbare Market first as a test. After Mbare, they will build at Glen View Area 8 where many carpenters work...
