There’s exciting news from Kenya’s wild north! The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has announced the birth of a black rhino calf at Sera Community Rhino Sanctuary, marking a major win for wildlife conservation and bringing renewed hope for the future of this critically endangered species. The bouncing baby rhino made its grand entrance into the world earlier this week, bringing a wave of hope, excitement, and renewed energy to conservation efforts. Staff at the sanctuary say both mother and calf are doing exceptionally well and are being closely monitored to ensure they thrive in their natural habitat. The black rhino,…

In a revelation that has gripped the city with shock and sorrow, Chief Government Pathologist Dr. Johansen Oduor has finally unveiled the chilling details surrounding the sudden death of Kariobangi North MCA Joel Munuve. After a thorough and meticulous post-mortem examination, Dr Oduor confirmed that Munuve’s life was tragically cut short by a pulmonary embolism, a deadly blood clot that stealthily travelled from a vein in his left leg straight to a major artery in his lungs, blocking the crucial flow of blood and oxygen. Describing the findings, Dr Oduor painted a harrowing picture: the clot, without warning, became a…

MAN SELLS CABBAGES FROM NISSAN GTR Only in Nairobi will you find a man casually selling mbogas out of a machine that sounds like it could outrun a thunderstorm! Yesterday, city dwellers did double-takes, triple blinks, and even a few neck sprains when a shiny, roaring Nissan GTR—the kind of car you only see in Fast & Furious movies—pulled over near the busy streets of Kilimani. The boot pops open, and what do we see? Not champagne. Not designer sneakers. CABBAGES. Fresh, green, round cabbages sit pretty where suitcases full of millions usually chill. Eyewitnesses say the man, dressed like…

Motorists and commuters were left stranded for hours on the busy Nakuru–Marigat highway after furious residents from Emining descended onto the road, staging a fiery protest that brought traffic to a grinding halt. The community, still reeling from the brutal killing of two locals by suspected robbers near Kipcherere junction, erupted in anger, barricading the tarmac with rocks, burning tires, and chanting demands for justice. What began as a simmering frustration over insecurity has now boiled over into full-blown outrage. The residents, visibly shaken and enraged, accused security agencies of turning a blind eye to their repeated cries for protection.…

Hellen Nzisa, recently transferred from NCPB’s Donholm Depot to Thika, faces serious nepotism and corruption allegations after whistleblowers claim she replaced casual workers with her relatives. The National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) is in the hot seat again, and this time, it’s not about maize scandals or delayed payments. A storm is brewing over at the Donholm Silo Depot after explosive claims surfaced, accusing a long-serving manager of treating the state agency like a family inheritance. According to whistleblowers, the now-transferred depot manager, Hellen Nzisa, allegedly ran the depot like her personal HR office, booting out hard-working casual employees…

Today, we witnessed deeply disappointing and misguided remarks from Minority Leader Hon. Junet Mohammed in response to a legitimate concern raised by Governor George Natembeya regarding the issuance of identification documents, particularly in border regions. It is important to clarify that Governor Natembeya was not discriminating against any community. His concerns were purely centred on national security and the dangers of issuing IDs carelessly, especially in sensitive border areas that have historically been prone to security threats. Hon. Junet, representing Suna East in Migori County, a relatively stable region, should recognise that his context is vastly different from counties like…

In a plot twist straight out of a political thriller with a splash of comedy, a Kenyan man is staring down the barrel of a 10-year prison sentence after pulling off one of the boldest online impersonations of Fake Ruto in recent memory. His crime? Pretending to be none other than President William Ruto himself… on social media! The man, whose real name is being kept under wraps (perhaps to spare his relatives the secondhand embarrassment), operated under the bizarre alias “I Must Go.” Whether it was a cry for help, a coded message, or just a poorly thought-out username…

The Ministry of Health, in a high-stakes meeting with the Council of Governors today, is setting the stage for a major push towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC), with the spotlight firmly on the rollout of the transformative Social Health Authority (SHA). This strategic dialogue is more than just an update; it’s a deep dive into flagship collaborations, including the game-changing Microwave Waste Management Project and the nationwide expansion of the Assistive Technology Programme. From revolutionising waste handling to enhancing access for persons with disabilities, the agenda is bold. The forum will also tackle critical gaps in healthcare training by focusing…

In one of the hard-hitting interviews early today in the suburb of Eldoret town, Mediheal kidney victims have claimed that their lives are in danger after exposing how they were defrauded of their kidneys. According to those who spoke to some of the local stations, they said that they have been surveilled since yesterday by strangers, both local and international. “We are being threatened that we should not reveal any further problems we have encountered with this hospital. I am a victim, and my child is a victim. We have received some threats from individuals who have told us to…
