A politician just told his own party's critics to quit and start their own thing. Gem MP Elisha Odhiambo defended the Orange Democratic Movement's decision to stay inside President William Ruto's government, directly challenging internal opponents like Governor James Orengo, Senator Godfrey Osotsi, and Secretary General Edwin Sifuna. Odhiambo argued the party's leadership had already strategically chosen to collaborate with the Kenya Kwanza administration, claiming only a small faction was opposing this move for personal gain. He dismissed Orengo's warning that an alliance would reduce ODM to a regional outfit, instead insisting the partnership was focused on delivering development projects before the next election.

Kenya's government just shoved everything onto your phone. The country has aggressively digitized public services over the last ten years, replacing endless paperwork and office queues with mobile apps and online portals. This shift, pushed by officials like President William Ruto and Information CS William Kabogo, centers on platforms like eCitizen, which acts as a single gateway for over 16,000 services from more than a hundred agencies. Other key apps include the National Transport and Safety Authority's TIMS system for vehicle and license services, the Kenya Revenue Authority's M-Service app for taxes, the MyGov application for general government functions, and the health record platform Afya Yangu. These tools allow Kenyans to...
A politician shows up at Christmas to list favors from the boss. The Minister for the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, visited the Khana Local Government Area in Rivers State, telling crowds that President Bola Tinubu holds a special fondness for the Ogoni people. Wike claimed this affection is now visible through several development projects and political gestures. He pointed to the new Federal University of Environment and Technology located in Koroma, Tai LGA, as a direct response to long-standing Ogoni requests for a university. Wike also mentioned a road project connecting the region to Bonny Island, and cited Tinubu's pardon of four Ogoni individuals known as martyrs as a key act of reconciliation.

Old files show the UK really wanted Mugabe gone, but had zero good options. Declassified documents reveal Tony Blair's government grew deeply frustrated with Zimbabwean leader Robert Mugabe's refusal to step down amid escalating violence and economic collapse. Despite that pressure, the Foreign Office explicitly ruled out military force in a 2004 assessment, stating Britain would be completely isolated in any invasion attempt, predicting heavy casualties with no clear exit strategy. Officials noted that no African nation would support forcibly removing Mugabe short of a massive regional catastrophe.
With invasion off the table, officials debated other approaches. Then ambassador Brian Donnelly suggested Blair attempt direct engagement...
Looks like the local party machine is pushing a big women's economic blitz. The Harare provincial leadership of Zanu-PF has launched a series of programs aimed at empowering women across the city's six zones. Provincial chairperson Barbara Mwale outlined the initiatives, which include expanding poultry projects, distributing sewing machines, and providing direct financial support. She stated the party sold roughly two hundred thousand chickens in Harare through these efforts, with women receiving training in rearing and marketing.
The support involved incubators for chicks, credited as coming from President Emmerson Mnangagwa through the party's Women's League Secretary Mabel Chinomona, and ten sewing machines allocated to each zone...
Feds call that arrest list for VIPs total nonsense. The Federal Government, through Information Minister Mohammed Idris, completely denied any plot to illegally detain or charge opposition members. A government statement dismissed a circulating document as fake, specifically refuting claims about a program called ADP4VIP, which allegedly stood for Arrest, Detain, Prosecute for Very Important Persons. The fabricated report suggested a multi-agency task force involving the EFCC, ICPC, and NFIU, coordinated by the National Security Adviser's office, was created to target high-profile figures in parties like the African Democratic Congress without following proper legal steps.
The administration labeled these attempts to frame lawful...
