Timothy Bosire turned down President William Ruto's job offer to lead the National Transport and Safety Authority board.
Bosire is thankful for the chance. But he had to think about what his community wanted. After talking to people, he felt it wasn't the right choice.
"As a leader, you have to listen," Bosire said. "Our community has given up a lot. When chances come around, we should get first pick."
Bosire isn't the only one to say no to Ruto. Margaret Nyambura also declined a job. Ruto asked her to be Kenya's ambassador to Ghana, but she said no for personal reasons.
Nyambura was supposed to meet with officials about the job. Instead, she sent a letter. "I can't make it," she wrote. "I don't want to waste your time."

The Kenyan Judiciary has spoken out about the Baby Samantha Pendo case. They say they want to end it fairly and quickly.
The case started in 2017. A court said police were to blame for Baby Pendo's death in 2019. The public prosecutor filed charges against the accused in 2022.
However, the accused filed legal cases in 2022 and 2023, which raised difficult questions about the court's power and laws.
In 2024, judges ruled against the accused's requests. This meant the case could move forward.
The accused then filed more papers, pushing back the court date to January 2025. A judge change moved it again.
The case will start back up on January 29, 2025. Judge Margaret Muigai will be in charge.
The Judiciary says it will do what is...

The Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (ZNCC) is pushing the government to help businesses. The group wants lower electricity costs, different taxes, and changes to money rules.
The ZNCC says these steps will make it easier for companies to operate and help the economy grow.
