The appointment of former Principal Secretary (PS) Mr Nyakera, who had pledged to transform KICC into a premier tourism destination, was revoked by President Ruto and Samuel Waweru Mwangi was named as his replacement.

Confirming the far-reaching resolution, subclan chairman Francis Mulari and Secretary General Kennedy Tovoko are now consol...

By Grace Mwende  Hundreds of participants, including families, corporate partners, and community supporters, gathered at World Vision Kenya’s National Office in Karen for the Less Steps for Water Run, an initiative under the Inuka Angaza Fund aimed at addressing water scarcity in Salgaa, Nakuru County. The event raised vital funds to expand clean water access to six additional schools, improving the health and education of children in the region. For many children in Salgaa, the daily search for water is a major obstacle. Walking up to six kilometers each day to fetch water often leads to missed school hours and exposes them to dangerous waterborne diseases like cholera, dysentery, and typhoid. Since June 2021, World Vision Kenya (WVK) has been working through the Inuka Angaza Fund to implement sustainable solutions that combat poverty and water insecurity. Thanks to strong partnerships with Nakuru County, KenGen, corporate donors, and well-wishers, WVK has already ...

Nairobi West MCA Rex Omolleh has leveled serious accusations against Governor Johnson Sakaja following a midnight demolition in Langata that affected properties used by local Juakali and mama mbogas traders. The demolition, executed by city council officers, targeted traders who have held legal occupancy of the property since 2014, with proper documentation from Kenha and Nairobi City County. During a press briefing, Omolleh expressed shock at the unannounced operation. “As the area MCA, I was not informed of the demolition which was conducted in the dead of night. I must ask: what was the intention behind this action?” he questioned. The MCA also revealed that 25 vehicles were confiscated by council officers, intensifying concerns over the treatment of local traders. Criticizing what he described as mistreatment of hardworking hustlers, Omolleh accused Governor Sakaja of undermining community trust. “How can you aim to join ODM while actively mistreating our people?” he as...

A deadly attack in Kilepoi, Kawap Location, has sparked outrage and urgent calls for government intervention amid growing insecurity in Samburu North. The assault, described as a deliberate act of violence, has left several people dead, communities devastated, and tensions at an all-time high. In a strongly worded statement, the Turkana Professionals Association, led by Chairperson Ernest Nakenya Nadome, condemned the attack and criticized security agencies for their slow and inadequate response.

"This is not merely a loss of property or livestock," the statement read. "It is a deliberate affront to the cultural heritage, dignity, and very existence of an entire community." The attack is believed to be part of ongoing retaliatory violence bet...
