Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika has maintained her commitment to supporting children with special needs through her bursary program. She said the inclusion and prioritisation were meant to prepare special needs children to become self-reliant in the future. Speaking at Nyayo Garden when she launched the Sh342 million County Bursary for the Financial Year 2023/2024, Kihika said the program would also support Youth Training Vocational programs such as driving to equip the younger generation with skills for self-employment. Last year, the County Government of Nakuru allocated Sh177.8 million for education bursaries. “Equally, the county government has increased the number of beneficiaries from last year’s 48,080 students to 60,425 drawn from all the 11 Sub-Counties of Nakuru County,” she said.
Opposition leader Raila Odinga has waded into the increased cases of femicide. The recent cases of alleged murders of women within Nairobi have drawn reactions from Kenyans on social media with civil societies calling for action. FIDA said Kenyans should not partake in shaming and judging victims of intimate partner violence, especially on social media. Kungu commended the National Police Service (NPS) for their efforts in the timely apprehension of the suspect in Wahu's murder. "It is extremely saddening that in the last one year, 10 cases of femicide have been reported in the media.
Education is the only way to win the war against poverty in the marginalised Coast region, Wundanyi MP Danson Mwashako has said. The Coast Parliamentary Group chairperson said all players in the education sector should team up to push for quality education in both primary and secondary schools. Mwashako urged Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu to fast-track the process of listing Wundanyi, Taveta and Rong'e as hardship areas. He said teachers in some parts of Taita Taveta do not receive hardship allowances despite the National Assembly's recommendation. He urged parents to collaborate with teachers and school heads to improve the quality of education.
Yet by sending its lawyers to The Hague to contest the charges, Israel has effectively recognised the court’s jurisdiction. The people bringing the case before the ICJ are experts, too, and they are probably not just South Africans. In the Russian case, for example, it ordered Moscow to stop the war in Ukraine at least until the case was settled. Russia didn’t obey that, of course, and since it has a Security Council veto it has suffered no legal consequences. The same is true for Israel, if the American veto still protects it – but what if the court says Israel has to stop the fighting, or at least protect civilians much better?
Azimio leader Raila Odinga now says that Chief Justice Martha Koome holding talks with President William Ruto will mark the beginning of the Judiciary getting compromised. Speaking in Vihiga, Raila insisted that there is no need for the Judicial Service Commission to hold talks with Ruto. The former Prime Minister said Koome already took a position on the matter, and any dialogue efforts would only further compromise the position of the courts. Raila added that should Koome go on with the talks, she would be compromising the country. Koome said the Judiciary has written to President Ruto seeking an audience with the view to establishing the genesis of his complaints against the Judiciary.

After 277 days behind bars, the state has finally pressed charges against cultist Paul Mackenzie over the deaths of 429 people whose bodies were exhumed from the expansive Shakahola forests. Wednesday, at Malindi High Court, Mackenzie and 30 other co-accused persons will be the first to be arraigned on the charge of murder. In the nine-month investigation, the DCI was able to directly link Mackenzie and 30 others to the deaths of 238 children who were exhumed from Shakahola. At least 21 suspects who are being held together with Mackenzie, failed to account for the whereabouts of their children, court records show. The decision to charge Mackenzie and his co-accused comes exactly one week after the Shanzu court threatened to release them if the state failed to charge them within two weeks.
Daily NationThe daily highlighted the progress of the probe into the murder of a young woman in a short-term rental space in Roysambu, Nairobi. The Kenya flagship carrier would resume normal flight operations from Nairobi to Dar es Salaam after the Tanzanian government lifted its ban. Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCCA) had revoked all KQ flights from Nairobi to Dar es Salaam. The TCAA statement further noted that the government of Tanzania asked Kenya to grant KQ the freedom to return to Dar es Salaam. Kenya Airways assured customers that no flight disruption would occur between Nairobi and Dar es Salaam.
To solve this debacle, it will take the willingness of the concerned departments to pass the functions and the attached resources 100 per cent. If you look at the housing project, for instance, it is a devolved function but President William Ruto is doing it as if it is a national government function. In most of these projects, you can see the national government is holding the money. Kenya Kwanza appears to be more interested in holding back a lot of cash. An example is the Trade ministry, which had been allocated a lot of money.
Black rhinos weigh an average 1,760-3,080 pounds. They are not really black, but grey like the white rhinos. They are called ‘black’ rhinos to distinguish them from the ‘white’ (coming from Afrikaans wordfor ‘wide’/white mouth). We only have 1,004 black rhinos and 971 white rhinos,” Mutua said. Before the 11 black rhinos died, “we did not pay attention to what the experts told us to do.
Residents in two settlement schemes in the Kinangop area of Nyandarua County are counting losses after a hailstorm left a trail of destruction on Monday evening. Crops, including maize, peas, potatoes, and cabbages, were destroyed, and the corrugated iron-sheet roofs of several houses caved in under the weight of hailstones. Fruit trees and several other big-leafed tree species were not spared either, as their leaves were beaten off by the large hailstones that pounded the Mwinjoyo and Mukungi settlement schemes. “The rain came as a surprise, it had been sunny for most of the day, the hailstorm came at about 5:30 pm, lasted for about 30 minutes to 40 minutes leaving major damages,” Karimi Nguyo, a resident said. Nguyo added that electricity to the two areas was also cut after trees fell on power lines compelling the residents to spend the night in the dark.
Vihiga County Commissioner Felix Watakila has asked DCI officers in his county to up their game in taming cases of security. Watakila faulted the DCI for laxity over the rising cases of insecurity. While addressing the press in his office, Watakila said DCI in Vihiga County have only one week to arrest key suspects in recent murders that have been taking place in Luanda town and Emuhaya respectively. "If DCI officers in this County are not willing to arrest those criminals, they are free to park and leave and we have new investigating officers who will do their job as required," Watakila said. "Why it is taking them too long to arrest those suspected criminals we are yet to understand."
President William Ruto says he is ready for talks with Chief Justice Martha Koome to address alleged corruption in the judiciary. “Mimi nataka nimwambie madam Chief Justice mimi niko tayari kwa hayo mazungumzo,” Ruto said Tuesday in Nandi. I am ready for the conversation on how we are going to deal with vested interests, incompetence and corruption,” Ruto said. He said Koome should not expect other petitions to be presented before the Judicial Service Commission when there are several others yet to be finalised. "Two judges were subjected to the tribunal process established by the Constitution and they have since been removed from the Judicial Service."
