President Ruto wants to fix land problems at the coast. He promised to help people who live on land they do not own, as these people need their own land.
President Ruto said his team will buy land from owners who stay far away and give it to people who need homes. Many people on the coast have lived for years without owning their land.
The President warned that some bad people have started moving onto lands after hearing about his plan. "We will not allow anyone to take land that belongs to other people," he said. The government already knows which lands it wants to buy first.
President Ruto told police and land workers to make sure only real people in need receive help. "No Kenyan can take property from others. The police must...
The Labour Ministry says news stories about older people being left out of the Inua Jamii money program are wrong. Mr. Joseph Motari from the Ministry explained this Monday.
"Inua Jamii gives money to people who are 70 years old or older," said Mr. Motari. "These people must not already receive money from the government. They need to have a Kenya ID card." The program helps older people, children without parents, and families taking care of people with big disabilities.
Mr. Motari made clear that anyone who already receives government pension money cannot join this program. This rule has always existed.
The government changed how people receive their money. Instead of banks, they use MPesa, which lets people get their money through...
The Social Health Authority says it does not owe money to small hospitals in rural areas. The Authority wrote a message saying the claims about owing 30 billion shillings are not true. They asked hospital groups to keep working with them to help sick people.
Many sick people could not see doctors because more than 600 hospitals stopped helping patients. These hospitals said they stopped because no one paid them the money they earned.
On February 20, 2025, the group representing these hospitals said they would stop seeing patients. They said the healthcare system has big problems. Brian Lishenga leads this hospital group. He said the government ignored their problems, which put patients in danger.
The hospital group wants the...
People in Kenya's government have asked why we need a new weather group. They wonder about creating the Kenya Meteorological Service Authority when Kenya has already closed some other government offices.
Members of Parliament met to discuss this. They want to meet with the weather department people first. Mr. Kamuren, who led the meeting, said, "We need to ask why we should create this new authority when we already have the Kenya Meteorological Department."
Mr. Kamuren thinks the current weather department can do more work. He believes they can grow bigger and handle all the weather tasks without making a brand-new office.
Mr. Emathe from Turkana wants the new weather rules to include old ways people predict the weather. He thinks...
A group called Gambia Participates wants new rules about money in elections. They fight against people doing bad things with money. This group thinks the National Assembly should make a law about how people pay for their voting teams.
The Gambia has no rules right now about money for elections. This means political parties can spend money any way they want. Some people buy votes with money. Women and people without much money have a hard time running for office.
Political parties should show their money papers to the election people, but many don't. The people who run for office don't have to tell anyone where their money comes from.
Gambia Participates and another group called the Election Watch Committee think a new law would make...

The Local Government Commission asked Momodou Gajaga many questions on Monday. He works as a plumber and drills holes in the ground for water. They wanted to know why he was paid D1,376,025 for two water holes.
Momodou said he earned D659,025 for the first water hole in Kerr Ndongo village. When asked why it cost much more than normal water holes that cost D150,000 to D200,000, he said the council wanted special materials. He told them they asked for good materials and a big water hole. He also put six water taps around the village.
He did not have a receipt for the materials he bought because it happened long ago. The council's money person, Mr. Khan, paid him cash four times. Momodou remembered signing a paper about the work but he...
