Breaking news: Former IEBC Chair Wafula Chebukati has died

How Juja MP George Koimburi slipped away from Kiambu Law Courts moments after he was granted a Ksh 200,000 cash bail in a case where he is accused of forging academic certificates.

Kenya is set to receive a $1.5 billion (Sh195 billion) loan from the UAE by the end of next week to stabilize its finances. The loan, which was originally planned to be disbursed in stages, will now be given all at once.

UPDATE: A wildfire that initially broke out at Solio Ranch on Thursday and was briefly contained has reignited with greater intensity and is now spreading rapidly across the conservancy.

Authorities report that 238 bodies lie unclaimed across three morgues in Nairobi, with the majority identified as men. The distribution includes 121 bodies at City Mortuary, 62 at Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital Funeral Home and 55 at Mbagathi Funeral Home. The county has given families a seven-day window to claim these bodies, threatening disposal if they remain uncollected.

Nairobi City County has launched a full-scale enforcement operation against Kenya Power in an escalating dispute over unpaid land rates, which have accumulated to more than Ksh 4.8 billion. Early Monday morning, county authorities arrived at Stima Plaza, the company’s headquarters, with garbage trucks, blocking all entry and exit points. Moments later, water supply was cut off, sewer lines were sealed, and parked vehicles were towed away to the county yard. By mid-morning, the normally busy premises had turned chaotic, with employees and visitors stranded outside. The dispute traces back several years as Nairobi County has been demanding wayleave payments from Kenya Power, arguing that the company has been using county land without settling the required fees. Officials say the power distributor has ignored multiple notices and deadlines, leaving them with no option but to act. Documents from City Hall show that the arrears stretch back to 2016, accumulating year after year.

A massive fire swept through Kariobangi Light Industries in Nairobi on Sunday night, injuring at least 10 people and destroying businesses, schools and homes in the surrounding area.
