Business mogul Sir Wicknel Chivhayo has deactivated his Instagram presence, with speculation suggesting he aims to make a fresh social media start.
Sir Wicknel Chivhayo apologized and gave $5000 to a woman who faced social media ridicule after he stopped giving money to airport staff when realizing some recipients were not employees.
Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya stands firm on his comments about abductions. He spoke up at National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula's mother's funeral. His words sparked strong reactions from other leaders there.
The clash began when labor leader Francis Atwoli said some people fake their kidnappings to get money from groups that help victims. Natembeya did not agree. He said it hurt families when leaders claim victims stage their disappearances.
"I say this with a heavy heart," Natembeya told the crowd. He called it wrong for any leader to suggest people kidnap themselves.
National Assembly Leader Kimani Ichung'wah fired back at Natembeya. He said if Natembeya knew about real kidnappings, he should tell the police instead...
Kenya wants Raila Odinga to lead the African Union. The vote will happen next year. Raila was the prime minister of Kenya before, and now he wants a bigger job.
Raila is one of four people who want the job. The current AU leader can't run again, and he already has two turns.
President Ruto really wants Raila to win. He is telling other African leaders to vote for him, saying Raila is the best choice for the job.
If he wins, Raila has big plans. He wants African countries to work together more, which he thinks will strengthen the continent.
Raila is very busy these days. He is going all over Africa to talk to leaders and ask them to support him in the election.
When countries vote, there will be a lot to consider. Things like...
Kenya's economy was in bad shape when William Ruto became president in 2022. The cost of living was very high. Food and fuel were expensive. The country had a lot of debt. The currency was losing value fast.
Ruto had promised to fix these problems. He said he would lower the cost of living right away. His government stopped giving money to help people buy things and instead gave money to farmers to grow more food.
This plan worked well. Farmers had a huge harvest of maize, which reduced the price of maize flour a lot. Maize is very important in Kenya. When it costs less, life gets easier for many people.
The government also made some other big changes. They worked out a new deal to pay back the country's debt. They also started...
Kenya's young people changed the country in a big way this year. They were very upset with the government's new tax plan, which most Kenyans thought was unfair.
The young people used social media to organize protests. They wanted to stop Parliament from passing the tax bill. They marched in the streets and fought with the police.
At first, the government said the taxes were needed. But after more protests, the president changed his mind. He fired his whole Cabinet except for one person. Then, he brought in people from the opposition party to join the government.
Later, the deputy president was impeached and removed from office, which had never happened before in Kenya. The former deputy president might team up with someone else to...
Many political parties in The Gambia did not hold meetings as they should have, including the ruling National People's Party. The Electoral Commission told the parties to have these meetings. It is a rule.
The parties must meet at least once every two years. The Commission wrote to 16 parties, and they were supposed to have meetings by the end of 2024. Only 11 parties did so.
Five parties asked the Commission for more time. They wanted to have their meetings later. The ruling NPP party was one of them. The Commission said yes to the request.
An official from the Commission discussed this. His name is Pa Makan Khan. He said they want to work with the parties. The Commission could punish parties that break the rule, but it would rather...
