  Homicide detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations say they have uncovered a plot by suspects in the murder of Dr Victoria Mutiso to silence police informers and cooperating witnesses using poisoned food. In an affidavit filed before the High Court opposing bail, prosecutors said an associate linked to primary suspects Rose Mbithe Mulwa and her two children was intercepted at Pangani Police Station. The individual, identified as Kimutai, was allegedly apprehended while attempting to deliver food laced with toxic substances to a cooperating suspect in custody. According to state prosecutors, forensic analysis of the seized food, along with digital data extracted from the associate's phone, revealed alleged coordinated plans to eliminate key informants, frustrate the investigation, and tamper with evidence. The court heard that the network allegedly sought to target individuals who had provided leads helping trace fleeing accomplices across regional borders. Prosec...

Unconfirmed reports have emerged suggesting that Kitutu Masaba MP Clive Ombane Gisairo, popularly known as Engoko, was involved in a road accident in the Kikuyu area of Kiambu County on Tuesday, September 29, 2026.

News of the reported accident has understandably drawn concern within the constituency. The report surfaces at a time when political leaders across Kenya are frequently on...

  ODM Party Leader and Siaya Senator Oburu Odinga has reportedly been advised by his doctors in the United Kingdom to step back from active politics and limit intensive engagements while he continues receiving medical care. Oburu travelled to the UK for a comprehensive medical check-up on the advice of his doctors and ODM leadership. He said the trip would also give him time to rest and recover. The development has renewed attention on the veteran politician's health, after weeks of reduced visibility in political activities. His family has said he has improved but remains in the UK while doctors complete their assessment before he returns to Kenya. Oburu has previously moved to reassure Kenyans about his health, dismissing earlier reports that he was seriously ill following a hospital visit in Nairobi. He described that visit as a routine check-up and said he would inform the public if his condition became serious. His latest medical trip has continued to draw interest from ODM su...

Photos have emerged of a Kenyan woman reportedly living on the streets of Beirut, Lebanon, after a falling out with her employer left her without a place to stay.

Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations have released photographs of Police Constable Julius Cheruiyot, the officer suspected of shooting dead prominent lawyer Mathew Kyalo Mbobu in Nairobi. Cheruiyot is alleged to have fired the shots that killed Mbobu during an attack along Magadi Road on September 9, 2025. According to investigators, the lawyer was driving home when assailants on a motorcycle opened fire on his vehicle. Cheruiyot was arrested after a yearlong investigation.

A Nairobi woman is appealing for help after her long-time house help, commonly known as a "mama fua," allegedly broke into her home savings box and made off with most of the cash inside. According to a video shared by Nairobi Express on Facebook, the woman had kept her savings in what many Nairobi residents call a piggy bank, an informal cash box households use to set aside money outside the banking system. The footage shows the container with its lid forcefully pried open. The woman said she had hidden the box carefully in the house, believing no one would find it. However, she claims her house help came across it while doing routine cleaning and allegedly helped herself to the contents. Of the money inside, she says KSh 30,000 was taken, with only KSh 1,500 left behind. What hurts most, she explained, is that the person responsible was not a stranger. She had trusted the worker in her home for a long time without any previous problems. She is now looking for ways to recover...

  The Trump administration has signaled that Washington will not back President William Ruto's bid for re-election, nor support any opposition candidate, ahead of Kenya's 2027 General Election. The position was laid out by Henry Wooster, Trump's nominee for US Ambassador to Kenya, during his appearance before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Thursday, September 24. Wooster said the United States intends to remain neutral throughout Kenya's presidential race and does not plan to intervene in favour of either the incumbent or his challengers. He said Washington's central priority ahead of the August 2027 election is preserving stability and supporting a peaceful electoral process, rather than influencing who wins. "Our watchword, the U.S. watchword for August 2027, when the elections are scheduled to take place, is stability. Not an unusual watchword for U.S. foreign policy, but it happens to be grounded in truth. That is exactly what we want," Woos...

The aide, once considered a trusted ally to the governor, is said to have since left the country, reportedly after learning his arrest could be imminent in connection with the investigation. The unfolding situation has stirred interest within politica...

  Former Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu has raised concerns over what she describes as growing influence from "busybodies" seeking to use Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka for their own personal and political interests. Ngilu said some individuals in the region were positioning themselves close to Kalonzo without regard for his long-term political future or what happens to him after the 2027 General Election. In a strongly worded statement, she said she has repeatedly warned against this trend, arguing that the former Vice President shouldn't be surrounded by people whose main goal is personal gain. "In our region, there are BUSYBODIES whose only agenda is to use Kalonzo Musyoka for personal and selfish gains," Ngilu said. She questioned the genuine commitment of such individuals to Kalonzo's political future, arguing they appear more focused on what they can extract from his current standing than on building a sustainable political path for him going forward. ...

The Central Bank of Kenya has reported that the shilling remained largely stable against major international and regional currencies in the week ending September 24, 2026. According to the CBK's weekly bulletin, the shilling traded at KSh 129.48 against the US dollar on September 24, a slight improvement from KSh 129.62 recorded the previous week. Kenya's foreign exchange reserves stood at KSh 1.95 trillion (USD 15,042 million) as of September 24, enough to cover 6.1 months of import requirements — comfortably above the CBK's statutory minimum of four months. A week earlier, reserves were slightly higher at KSh 1.96 trillion (USD 15,088 million). Within the East African Community, the shilling's performance was mixed. It strengthened against the Tanzanian shilling, moving from 20.40 to 20.46 units — a gain of 0.29% — and posted smaller gains against the Rwandese franc (up 0.18%) and Burundi franc (up 0.13%). However, it lost modest ground against the Ugandan shilling, s...

Detectives in Lari, Kiambu County, have launched an investigation into the death of a 27-year-old woman found dead inside a lodging after reportedly entering the premises with a man during the night. The deceased, identified as Zawadi Mwathi, worked at a bar located within the same building as the lodging. According to police reports, she had been serving customers before reportedly disappearing at around 10:30 p.m. Her sudden absence raised concern among some customers, prompting them to search the building — a search that eventually led them to one of the lodging rooms, where they discovered her body. Responding officers found Zawadi lying on a bed, with her hands and neck allegedly tied using pieces of cloth, and her clothes scattered around the room.

Doanh Chau, President of AI medicine company MED21, has pushed back on President William Ruto's investment pitch at the 81st United Nations General Assembly, questioning whether international speeches can translate into real increases in investment in Kenya. In remarks shared on September 25, Chau acknowledged the strength of Ruto's message to the international audience but argued that investors ultimately judge countries by the conditions they encounter once they move past conference speeches and consider committing capital. He raised specific concerns about the reliability of electricity, road infrastructure, contract enforcement, procurement transparency, and confidence in institutions. "Yes, the message is powerful. Powerful enough to tell the international audience: Kenya is ready; please invest more. But investors eventually leave the conference hall and start asking less glamorous questions: Is the electricity reliable?" Chau said. "Africa does not lack sp...

Former Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has offered a striking take on Kenya's 2027 presidential race, comparing it to the 1997 General Election and arguing that opposition unity will not materialise before the vote. Posting on his official X account on Saturday, September 26, 2026, Kuria said the 2027 race would resemble 1997, when several opposition figures ran independently rather than uniting behind a single challenger. He named President William Ruto, former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i, Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka, and Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna as the four politicians he expects to appear on the presidential ballot. "Take this to the bank. The 2027 Presidential race will be exactly like the 1997 election. There will be nothing like opposition unity," he wrote, adding: "The following will all be on the ballot. With 318 days left, nothing will change. Hii imeenda." Kuria accompanied his post with a poll asking followers to c...

President William Ruto's government has recorded a fresh resignation after Paul Waiganjo stepped down as the President's Advisor on Development Matters. Waiganjo announced his decision at a press briefing at Sports View Hotel in Nairobi on Friday, September 25, 2026, saying he officially submitted his resignation at 3 p.m., bringing his time in the role to a close. He explained that he had taken on the advisory position hoping to drive development across the country, with a particular focus on his home county of Nyandarua. His plans reportedly included supporting school construction, improving hospitals, drilling boreholes, installing street lighting, and creating jobs. However, Waiganjo said his time in government revealed that the position had real limitations, leaving him without enough room to effectively pursue the development agenda he had envisioned. Before making his decision, he said he consulted religious leaders, professionals, businesspeople, community representativ...

Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen was at the Kenyan coast to oversee the destruction of more than 1,000 kilogrammes of methamphetamine, valued at KSh 8.2 billion, at the Bamburi Cement Factory in Mombasa. Murkomen confirmed his presence at the facility on Thursday, September 24. "Arrived at Bamburi Cement Factory, Mombasa, to preside over the destruction of narcotics worth KSh 8.2 billion.

A year-long murder investigation has taken a troubling turn, with detectives now alleging that two separate, high-profile killings in Nairobi — lawyer Mathew Kyalo Mbobu and Dr. Victoria Nthunya Mutiso — may be connected through a network involving serving police officers. The breakthrough came with the arrest of Police Constable Julius Cheruiyot, suspected of being the gunman behind Mbobu's killing on September 9, 2025, along Magadi Road. Detectives recovered the Ceska pistol issued to him, and ballistic testing has since confirmed it was the weapon used in the shooting. But what makes this case bigger than a single arrest is who investigators believe was behind it. According to the DCI, Inspector Kenneth Sang — still at large — allegedly coordinated the operation, working with Rose Mbithe, a suspect already in custody over the separate killing of Dr. Mutiso in Upper Hill on July 29, 2026. That overlap has pushed the investigation beyond a single case, raising a harder question fo...
