He exuded confidence that he had the support of the opposition brigade, including Raila, to unseat Ruto in the next election. Raila had in October given the clearest indication yet that the opposition coalition would rally behind Musyoka as its flagbearer. Taifa LeoThe Swahili paper reported as Kenyans welcome the new year 2024, all eyes are on Ruto to reduce the cost of living. Despite opposition, activists, and even complaints from ruling coalition MPs, Ruto insists on economic reforms.

At the same time, a notable majority of Kenyans, going by the twin poll, are hopeful that 2024 will turn out better than 2023. All said, it is one thing to wish ourselves well as we enter 2024, but quite another to do the right things to make our wishes come true. Thereafter, there was the East Asian Economic Crisis of 1979-2001, the 1992-1997 Russian Economic Crisis and the 1994-2002 Latin American Debt Crisis that affected Mexico, Brazil and Argentina simultaneously. Neither should we treat the economic dreariness Kenya has experienced in the recent past as an isolated occurrence. Save for the 2007-8 political disruptions, Kenya generally enjoyed a blissful economic moment in the Kibaki years.

President William Ruto has highlighted some of his government’s achievements in 2023 and capped it with thinly veiled criticism of the Judiciary over some of the decisions it rendered regarding government policies. "The introduction of the housing levy... is discriminatory, irrational, and arbitrary and is in violation... of the Constitution," Justice David Majanja said. The impugned Acts which Ruto said are aimed at granting all Kenyans equal access to medical care are the Social Health Insurance Act, 2023, the Primary Health Care Act, 2023 and the Digital Health Act, 2023. The Social Health Insurance Act, of 2023 among other things, provides for the extension of health insurance to all Kenyans based on member contributions, with government-subsidised coverage for the poor. “Let us therefore reflect very deeply about the ways in which we act and speak in the name of the Constitution.”

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has urged his boss President William Ruto to ignore 'outside noise' as he leads the country. Further, Gachagua assured Kenyans that 2024 will be a better year as economic initiatives rolled out by the government to improve their lives bear fruit. He noted that Ruto has stabilised the economy despite the teething challenges they faced when they took over. Kenyans have, as of July 1, paid new taxes introduced via the controversial Finance Act, 2023, that was signed into law by President William Ruto on June 26. "We are going to press for a taxation plan that provides for an across-the-board income tax rate reduction for all Kenyans who pay income taxes," he said.

“A few days ago, there was an experiment in Kashi that I would certainly like to share with Mann Ki Baat listeners. Meanwhile, BJP National President JP Nadda, along with Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath, heard PM Modi’s Mann Ki Baat programme in Lucknow. The 107rd edition of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ was aired on November 26, when PM Modi asked the citizens not to organise weddings abroad and urged people of the country to hold wedding celebrations in the country.

A rights group and community activists filed a lawsuit Saturday against US multinational food giant Del Monte over accusations of killings and assaults at its vast pineapple plantation near Nairobi. The case, lodged at the High of Court Kenya, is also on behalf of people who say they had been attacked by Del Monte security guards, and relatives of alleged victims. Saturday's lawsuit, a copy of which was seen by AFP, said Del Monte has been locked in a land ownership row with the local community, which claims the company's land as its ancestral home. In addition, it said waste water from Del Monte operations was laced with "toxic pesticides" deemed hazardous by the World Health Organization. "Del Monte Kenya is cooperating with Kenyan authorities as they continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the four bodies," it said in a statement to AFP earlier this week.
