“Wale wananipigia makelele, sijui ‘Kasongo’, ‘one term’, nataka niwaambie mambo bado, tulizeni boli, mimi bado niko kazini,” he said. “They will come with their tribalism, their theatrics, their tricks, and ‘Kasongo.’ I will come with these young people because they have gained employment through affordable housing,” he said. The President maintained that he would campaign on his administration’s track record, including affordable housing, economic reforms and expanded access to education. “I will come with affordable housing, with economic initiatives, and with the education we have provided to our children.

WiperWiper Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka speaking in Nyamache, Kisii County on Wednesday/HandoutWiper Patriotic Front (WPF) party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has questioned President William Ruto’s administration over reports that a Sudanese rebel leader is holding a Kenyan passport. Kalonzo said the alleged issuance of Kenyan travel documents to militia leaders could hurt Kenya’s image abroad and raise national security concerns. His remarks followed reports that a senior Sudanese militia figure recently sanctioned by the United States is listed as holding a Kenyan passport. “Now the Ruto government is issuing passports to militia leaders from Sudan and thus jeopardising relationships with friendly countries. “Our tea has lost a huge market in Sudan after the Ruto administration started dealing with militia leaders,” Kalonzo said.

President William Ruto today held talks with Her Royal Highness Sophie Helen Rhys-Jones, the Duchess of Edinburgh, at State House Nairobi, where the two reaffirmed the strong diplomatic and economic ties between Kenya and the UK. Ruto said the partnership will focus on expanding trade, attracting new investments and deepening collaboration in key sectors that support economic growth and job creation. Ruto said trade between Kenya and the UK has continued to grow steadily, delivering mutual economic benefits. In 2025, Kenya exported goods worth Sh243 billion to the UK, compared to imports valued at Sh133 billion, resulting in a favourable trade balance for Kenya. The visit by the Duchess of Edinburgh reflects the deepening bilateral engagement between the two countries as they seek to broaden cooperation in trade, investment, climate action and development for the benefit of their people.

Kenyan immigration officials deported a Zimbabwean constitutional lawyer for allegedly orchestrating a foreign-funded operation to destabilise the government through renewed street protests. Security sources said the funds were intended to capitalise on economic grievances and reignite the Gen Z protests that shook the government in 2024. Those protests — which forced President William Ruto to abandon unpopular finance bill — left authorities hypersensitive to coordination between foreign actors and domestic mobilisers. Kagoro’s deportation ends a two-decade presence in Nairobi that positioned him as a key behind-the-scenes figure in East Africa’s democracy ecosystem. “The activist declined to engage.”For two decades, Kagoro helped build transnational activist infrastructure — including fellowships, mentorship programmes and cross-border strategy sessions that professionalised democratic mobilisation across East Africa.

The East of England Co-op’s Local Giving initiative, launched in summer 2024, has raised more than £130,000 for regional charities and community groups across East Anglia, including Essex and Suffolk. The scheme empowers the co-op’s 3,000+ colleagues to select and raise funds for causes that matter most in their own communities. Angela Carpenter, community support lead at the East of England Co-op, said: "At the heart of East of England Co-op is a commitment to making a positive local impact, not just through funding, but by being an active part of the communities we serve." Last summer at the Parkfields East of England Co-op in Halstead, Essex, colleagues organised a series of wacky dress-up days and raised over £800. Damian Johnson, branch manager at Hadleigh, said: "I think it’s really important for our co-op to support our local community because we are the grassroots of East Anglia, we are the local community, we’re entrenched in it."
