Kenya's highest appellate court dramatically slammed the brakes on all High Court petitions challenging former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's impeachment! The bombshell decision froze proceedings until judges resolved a separate explosive case Gachagua himself filed in the Court of Appeal.
High Court justices Eric Ogola, Freda Mugambi, and Antony Mrima found themselves suddenly powerless Thursday when scheduled to issue fresh directives and set a hearing date. The trio had just finished consolidating petitions and wrapping up interlocutory applications when an earth-shattering order from the Court of Appeal stopped them dead in their tracks.
Gachagua ignited this legal firestorm last year by storming the Court of Appeal...
Namibian farmers face urgent action demands as the Directorate of Veterinary Services hammers down strict vaccination rules for cattle exports! Every bovine headed across borders must receive lumpy skin disease vaccination—no exceptions—within a precise window: at least 21 days but no more than 12 months before departure. The clock started ticking immediately across all regions.
Exporters, beware—officials will slam the door shut without proof of vaccination! The deadly reality of LSD strikes fear into livestock producers nationwide, manifesting as dangerous nodules across cattle bodies, often complicated by vicious secondary bacterial infections that can kill valuable animals.
The Livestock Producers' Organisation hasn't wasted a...
Tusker signed two new players this week: Luke Namanda from AFC Leopards and Ian Simiyu from Nzoia Sugar. Namanda played for Tusker before. Simiyu left Nzoia Sugar three years ago to play in Rwanda, and later, he joined AFC Leopards.
The coach of Tusker, Charles Okere, feels happy about Namanda coming back. "We welcome Luke back to Tusker FC. He has great skills and knows our team already. He will help us win more games," said Coach Okere.
Namanda feels excited to return to his old team. "It feels great to be back at Tusker FC. I want to help the team win. When I left Tusker in 2021, we were champions. I hope I can win more trophies with the team," Namanda said.
Simiyu comes from a different league called the National Super League. He...
The Council of Governors wants better ways to fix problems between Kenya Power and the people who use electricity.
Ahmed Abdullahi leads this Council. He said fights between Kenya Power and its customers should not stop important services. The fight between Kenya Power and Nairobi County showed just a small part of what many Kenyans face when their power is suddenly cut off.
"For more than ten years, Kenya Power has cut off electricity without talking to counties first. They did not think about how this hurts people," the Council said. "Kenya Power needs to see how their actions hurt people. They must make a fair way to send bills and cut power."
The Council talked to the Energy Ministry about these problems. "We ask Kenya Power to...
The police asked questions of many people who work for Nairobi County. These people threw trash at the Kenya Power offices in Nairobi. Mr. Murkomen, who helps run the country, said the police took eight trucks that carried the garbage.
"Governments should not act this way. What happened was wrong. We will punish the people who planned this," Mr. Murkomen said. He told everyone the police did their job well and acted fast when they heard about the problem.
Mr. Murkomen talked at the police building. Other important police leaders stood next to him. He said throwing trash at offices was bad, and people could become sick. "Throwing waste makes people catch diseases like cholera. This action was very bad," he said.
The police started...
The Council of Governors said some members of parliament said bad things about giving road money to counties.
Governor Ahmed Abdullahi thinks these words were mean and not helpful for Kenya. He wants people to understand how roads work in Kenya. The national government takes care of big roads across the country, while county governments take care of smaller local roads. Counties build and fix most of the roads in Kenya.
The Road Maintenance Levy Fund helps both types of government fix their roads. Ahmed Abdullahi explained that counties do most of the road work in Kenya. A study by the Kenya Roads Board showed that counties built 5,400 kilometers of paved roads, more than the 4,200 kilometers they had in 2018.
Ahmed Abdullahi is sad...
President Ruto talked in Lamu County and started building a new housing project in Mokowe. He said Kenya will stay strong. He does not want leaders who talk negatively about different tribes.
President Ruto asked people to work together. He said talking about tribes is old-fashioned. "Every Kenyan can live anywhere in the country. Do not listen to leaders who want to divide us," he said.
Ruto talked about some politicians. He did not say their names. He said these politicians have no plans for Kenya. They just like to talk politics all day.
"We must stay united. We must stay together. We are one people with one nation. We share the same future. We will do well together," he said.
The President promised to help all parts of Kenya...
Former South Africa president Thabo Mbeki said that Sam Nujoma was a leader for all of Africa, not just Namibia.
Mbeki talked at a special meeting in Pretoria on Wednesday. The Namibia High Commission and the University of South Africa planned this meeting to remember Nujoma.
"He led people from across Africa. We came together today to honor someone who helped our continent greatly. Uncle Sam led us as well as the Namibian people," Mbeki said.
He asked everyone in Africa to remember what Nujoma believed in by doing good things that help African people.
Mbeki described Nujoma as someone who stood up for what he believed in and protected Africa against countries that tried to control it. People should celebrate his life because he did...
President Mbumba met the airplane that carried founding president Sam Nujoma's casket at Hosea Kutako International Airport. This airport is special because Nujoma kissed the ground there on September 14, 1989, when Namibia was almost free.
Nujoma's casket will travel through Windhoek on Thursday. After that, people will bury him during the weekend.
When Air Marshal Martin Pinehas asked President Mbumba if he wanted to join the procession, Mbumba said, "I will join." This follows the official rules.
Many important people came to the airport. Government leaders, family members, and friends all gathered to see Nujoma's casket arrive.
President Mbumba, the next president, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, and Nujoma's oldest son, Utoni Nujoma...
