A significant shift is occurring in the Eldoret dairy sector as more farmers move their supply to Dipkebs Dairies. Positioned as a farmer-centric milk collection enterprise, Dipkebs is rapidly becoming the preferred partner for producers seeking transparency, reliability, and financial consistency in the North Rift region.

As a human rights activist, I must speak on the situation surrounding Raphael Tuju. Regardless of politics, no Kenyan should be stripped of their dignity, livelihood, and economic stability in a manner that appears punitive rather than just. Watching someone’s property auctioned and long-standing sources of income taken away, including businesses they built over years, raises serious questions about fairness, due process, and proportionality. Justice must never look like persecution. In a constitutional democracy, the rule of law must protect every citizen equally. Today it is Tuju; tomorrow it could be anyone else. Disagreements, debts, or legal disputes should be…

The Court of Appeal is a different beast from the trial courts. It’s quieter and more formal, but today the stakes felt higher. James Mwangi and his wife, Jane Wangui, were looking for a “stay”, a way to freeze time and undo the fact that they’d been ousted from the Muthaiga property just a month ago. Sitting in the courtroom, you could sense the urgency from Mwangi’s side. They wanted the High Court’s October judgement by Justice Obaga Angote tossed, or at least paused, before any more damage was done. But Judges Daniel Musinga, Patrick Kiage, and Ole Muchelule weren’t…
