Kenyans are hopping mad at President William Ruto! They think he cares more about plane crashes in South Korea than missing folks at home.
Ruto sent out a message on X. He said he was really torn up about the Jeju Air accident. Over 170 people died! The president offered his condolences to the victims' families and the South Korean people.
But Kenyans on X weren't having it. They jumped all over Ruto's post. They wanted to know why he wasn't talking about the abductions happening in Kenya.
Jackson Tochi posted that wounds that don't heal will bleed again. He said Kenyans are mourning their missing citizens, just like the plane crash victims. Chepkindet added that Kenyans are thinking of the abducted folks' families. Kwach B...
Folks on X are fired up! They've started a hashtag called #MondayIsMonday. It's gone totally viral. Over 61,000 posts and counting!
People are mad as heck about the recent abductions in Kenya. They want the missing folks released ASAP. So they're planning big protests for Monday.
The word is spreading like wildfire on X. People are telling protesters what to bring. Placards, water bottles, and hankies are a must. And the location? Everywhere!
Kenya has had a ton of abductions lately. Seven young people were snatched just in December! And since June, 82 have gone missing. Twenty-nine are still lost.
The human rights folks are keeping track. They say there have been 13 cases in the last three months alone. One December victim was...
Rigathi Gachagua has a message for young people. The former Deputy President thinks Gen Zs and Millennials are doing great things online, but he wants more!
Gachagua spoke in Kakamega on Sunday. He told the youth to keep calling out the government. They need to expose all the bad stuff in society, he said.
But just talking online isn't enough, according to Gachagua. He begged young people to register as voters, too, as that's the only way to really change things.
The former DP sees the youth as Kenya's hope for a better future. He believes they have the power to fix the country's political problems for good.
Gachagua praised the young generation's patriotism. He loves how they're fighting for change on social media. But he reminded...
A big shake-up just happened in Kenya's military! Charles Muriu Kahariri is the new top dog. He got a fancy promotion to general, and now he's the big cheese—the Chief of Defence Forces.
Kahariri took over from Francis Ogolla. Ogolla sadly died in a chopper crash. What a tragedy!
John Omenda moved up, too. He was the Kenya Airforce commander, and now he's second in command to Kahariri.
Fatuma Ahmed is making history. She's the first woman to lead the Kenya Airforce. You go, girl!
Aden Duale had a big meeting. He's the Defence Cabinet Secretary. That's where all these big decisions were made.
Kahariri got really lucky. He didn't follow the usual path to the top job. Most chiefs have led one of the military branches. But not...
Senator Richard Onyonka wants missing Kenyans found now! He gave a stern warning. The abducted folks must be let go in just 12 hours. Or else!
Onyonka said Kenyans might take to the streets. They have a right to protest. It's in the Constitution.
Lots of people have vanished lately. Seven were taken in December alone! A whopping 82 have gone missing since June. And 29 are still gone without a trace.
One of the December abductees was found. But six others are still lost. Their names are Steve, Billy, Peter, Bernard, Rony, and Gideon.
The Interior Cabinet Secretary spoke up. Kipchumba Murkomen wants families to tell the police. They should give all the details about the missing people. He promised to help with the investigations...
A yummy looking Christmas cake turned deadly in Brazil. Three women died after eating it. And a young boy is real sick in the hospital.
Cops found arsenic in the blood of one dead lady. The cake maker had it in her blood too. She's still alive but not doing so good.
The family had a Christmas party on Monday. That's when they ate the bad cake. Soon they felt sick to their stomachs. They rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night.
Two sisters died quick from heart attacks. A third lady died later that day.
Cops are checking out the cake maker's house. They found old food that had gone bad. Her husband died a few months ago from food poisoning. They dug up his body to check it out.
Arsenic is super dangerous. It's a metal that...
Folks on the SGR train had a real treat on Sunday. Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi was there! He hung out with Kenyans and tourists alike.
Mudavadi shook hands with people, took selfies, and talked with the passengers. It was a great time.
Later, Mudavadi posted photos on social media and wrote about his train ride. He said it was "incredible." The views were pretty, and chatting with people was inspiring.
It seems like everyone had fun. Mudavadi sure did. It just goes to show that you never know who you might meet on the train!
Chaos erupted at a thanksgiving event attended by ex-Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua in Nyandarua when a tear gas canister was thrown near the stage. Despite the commotion, Senator John Methu remained calm as others fled. Gachagua praised the crowd's resilience and residents for maintaining order. He criticized the police, alleging they allowed political interference. This follows a recent incident where goons disrupted Gachagua's attendance at a Limuru funeral.
The big boss of the World Health Organization had a close call in Yemen. His name is Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, but folks just call him Dr. Tedros. He was at an airport when Israel started dropping bombs.
Dr. Tedros said it was super scary. People were running all over the place like chickens with their heads cut off. There was nowhere to hide. He and his buddies were sitting ducks.
One of his pals said they barely made it out alive. If the missiles had landed just a little bit closer, they would have been goners.
Everyone knew Dr. Tedros was at the airport that day. But he says that doesn't matter. He thinks his life isn't worth more than anyone else's.
He's mad that Israel bombed the airport at all. He says they shouldn't attack...
