HISTORIC: The people of Webuye East Constituency elect Martin Wanyonyi (FORD KENYA) as their Member of Parliament - It is the first time in Kenya that a person with albinism is elected through the ballot.
"𝘕𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘦, 𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘦 𝘮𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘰 𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘸𝘦 ", shouts this man before he's shot dead by the police in Zimmerman

These words would forever echo in my brain and serve as a constant reminder of the police brutality in Kenya

EACC resurrects a case against Anne Waiguru after she said people of Central 'si wa kupangwa'
She'd been absolved of malfeasance during her impeachment at Senate because of her inclination
Weaponized corruption - a political warfare, is the only quiver in Uhuru-Raila's arrow
Uhuru Kenyatta has practiced nepotism and ensured his community dominated most key positions in government. So before he suggests the presidency to go to other Kenyan tribes, let him first walk his talk and ensure Kenya's diversity is reflected in his government before 2022
The communities in North Eastern, Coast and other marginalized counties are not looking for scraps or handouts from the government but an equitable treatment. Let there be no "them" versus ''us'' in Kenya. None should be on the outskirts of the Kenyan margin

EFF been celebrated global but locally is being challenged by senseless individuals who their Africanism is polarized by mainstream media.
The rare and dazzling white giraffe and her calf in Ijara, Garissa County were killed. Some say alShabab killed it for the game meat, others say a neighbouring community from Tana River killed it over conservancy funds brawl. Either way, it's heart-rending that they are no more!
A female clan elder (Ugaasad) has been coronated by Reer Kassim sub-clan of Abudwak clan in Garissa. This is unprecedented, it defies the norm that made this responsibility a reserve for men. A revolution to emancipate the Somali community from patriarchy has begun. Historic!
I pray for Najma Rashid Soyan, the wife of the slain Somali businessman Bashir Mohamed. She delivered a baby girl 2 weeks ago. That little girl will never be able to see her daddy. May the killers of Bashir never know peace.
The world must act against South Africa,
African states should close borders and put a caveat on trade with and travel to South Africa,
A paedophile tourist from the West is pampered but an African doing business there is burnt alive and property looted.

M-Lugha, a mobile application that is the brainchild of Abdinoor Ali, a telecom engineer from Garissa, provides an easy and innovative way of teaching kids English and Swahili. It would be prudent of North-Eastern counties to use it as a teaching aid to enliven ECD programs

Rahma Salat, a female welder from Saredo, Garissa - the first accredited woman welder from N.E Kenya. She may be seen as an oddity, a woman doing a 'man's work'. She's a proof that given the opportunity, a woman can do same work as a man. She graduated today in the artisan course
It’s tempting to use the analogy of rats fleeing a sinking ship to describe the Jubilee Party politicians starting to realize that the proposed BBI plebiscite is unpopular. But that's really not fair to rats, who tend not to be complicit in driving ships to the bottom of the sea

On the day he was rescued, his family followed him to the vet centre and waited on the roof for weeks.
