A 49-year-old man heading to work before dawn became the latest victim of violent robbery in Nairobi, after he was stabbed to death in Lindi, Kibra, at about 5.30am on Friday. Jacob Odhiambo Alube was set upon by a gang that took his valuables, including his phone. Police say he was killed after he tried to resist. Bloodstains found several metres from his body suggest he struggled with his attackers before he fell. Detectives from Kibera Police Station recovered a toy pistol near the scene and have kept it as an exhibit, though police have not said whether it belonged to the attackers. Scenes of Crime officers processed the area, and Alube's body is at Nairobi Funeral Home awaiting a post-mortem. The killing again raises concern for people who leave home in the dark to reach work on time. Police say they are pursuing the suspects.

A multi-storey building under construction in Eastleigh, Nairobi, collapsed on Friday afternoon while 11 shops on its ground floor and basement were still occupied. That raises questions about how a live construction site and operating businesses came to share one structure. Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen said a thorough investigation would be carried out by national and county agencies together with professional bodies, and that anyone found responsible would be held accountable. Seven people are missing, while 66 of the 67 workers on site escaped unhurt and one is in stable condition in hospital. Search and rescue is being led by the KDF, police, Nairobi County, the NYS and the Kenya Red Cross. Families of the missing are urged to call the Red Cross on 1199, and the government says it will provide support, including psychosocial care, to those affected.

  A woman has shared her efforts to reach a relative believed to be trapped under the rubble after a building collapsed in Eastleigh, Nairobi, on Friday, October 23. Aisha Dawe Jilo rushed to the scene after hearing about the collapse. She told TV47 Kenya that she spoke to her relative at about 1:47pm, shortly after the building came down, and reached him again at about 3:07pm. According to her, the second call gave the family hope that he was still alive under the debris. The family is now waiting anxiously for rescuers to reach him. Aisha said they informed their inspector, identified only as Nur, who contacted the relevant government authorities for help. Relatives and members of the public gathered at the scene hoping for news about people whose whereabouts were unknown. Another young woman, who reportedly runs a shop on the ground floor, was also feared trapped. Kenya Red Cross teams and police officers were among the responders, and Nairobi County deployed machinery to help c...

  Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has condoled with families affected by the collapse of a multi-storey building under construction in Eastleigh, Nairobi, on Friday afternoon. In a statement dated October 23, Kalonzo said he was deeply dismayed by the incident and that his prayers were with the families of those trapped and with the injured. He thanked the Kenya Red Cross, the Kenya Defence Forces Disaster Response Battalion, the National Disaster Management Unit, Nairobi County emergency teams and ordinary Kenyans who rushed to help. He urged all agencies to work together without delay and asked the public to follow instructions from first responders. Kalonzo also said that once the rescue effort ends, Kenyans will ask how a building of that size came to stand, and fall, in a crowded neighbourhood, and that the question must be answered honestly. "Whoever approved, inspected, built or looked away must be identified and held to account, whatever their position or connections,...

Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai has responded to Kirinyaga Woman Representative Njeri Maina after she said she would submit a 500-page document containing evidence of alleged registration of non-Kenyans as voters ahead of the 2027 General Election. In a post on social media, Alai questioned whether the size of the document was meant to intimidate anyone. "The number of pages makes you think you are intimidating anyone?" he wrote. The post does not say whether he accepts or rejects the allegations underneath it. Maina had said Parliament asked her to provide evidence that non-Kenyans have been registered as voters. She said she was ready to submit the 500-page document, adding, "We must sanitize this nation!!!" The contents of the document have not been independently verified, and the allegations should not be treated as proven. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission has dismissed claims of illegal voter registration and unlawful voter transfers, saying it ha...

The most discussed detail in the video is a chore list. According to the story, the woman recording it alleges that the student cooked, cleaned and bought household necessities with her own money in her boyfriend's home. She further claims the boyfriend attended classes as usual and came back to find his domestic needs already handled. That is what drew a second line of reaction online. While some viewers said students lose sight of their studies once a relationship gets serious, others raised concern about young women taking on substantial domestic work without asking whether their partners contribute equally. Between those two readings sits a question about fairness in a living arrangement that, by the narrator's telling, nobody involved has spoken about publicly. The story leaves most of it unproven. The student, her university and the boyfriend are not identified. The domestic arrangement, the spending and the boyfriend's routine all come from one narrator, who says she...
