By Maximilla Wafula  In a scathing indictment of the current administration, the United Alternative Government led by H.E. Kalonzo Musyoka, H.E. Rigathi Gachagua, Dr. Fred Matiang’i, Hon. Eugene Wamalwa, and Hon. JB Muturi has uncovered what they describe as a predatory fuel scandal designed to enrich a few at the expense of struggling Kenyans. During a high-stakes press conference at the SKM Command Center, the leaders detailed how a manipulated procurement process has directly spiked the cost of living. Reading the joint statement, H.E.

Defending the Digital Crown Jewel: Kalonzo Musyoka Leads Charge Against Safaricom Sale

By Maximilla Wafula  In a high-stakes legal showdown at the Milimani Law Courts, Wiper Patriotic Front and Azimio la Umoja leader H.E. Kalonzo Musyoka spearheaded a formidable legal and political front to challenge the proposed sale of Safaricom shares. Flanked by a diverse coalition of leaders, including Hon. Eugene Wamalwa, Mike Mbuvi Sonko, and Tony Gachoka, Musyoka framed the petition not merely as a commercial dispute, but as a critical battle for Kenya’s national sovereignty and economic security.

He warned that any move to dilute national interest in the firm could expose ...

UDA Rebuffs Opposition Claims Over Global Fuel Crisis

  By Maximilla Wafula  In a scathing rejoinder to recent criticisms from opposition figures, the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has dismissed claims of a manufactured fuel crisis as "deceitful and amusing." In a formal statement issued from the Office of the Secretary General, Senator Hassan Omar Hassan categorized the opposition’s narrative as a calculated misrepresentation of global economic realities, accusing them of exploiting geopolitical challenges for selfish political expediency. Senator Omar emphasized that the current surge in fuel prices is a direct consequence of energy market disruptions in the Middle East, rather than domestic policy failures. He asserted that the government has moved aggressively to protect the Kenyan consumer by deploying KSh 6.2 billion through the Petroleum Development Levy to stabilize pump prices. Additionally, the reduction of Value Added Tax on petroleum products from 16% to 8% has been instrumental in keeping prices at the current re...

By prioritizing unity, the party intends to present a monolithic front, unburdened by localized rivalries. This inte...

From the Ground Up: How Dr. Mbaya’s Farm Visits Are Changing Kitui South Agriculture

From the Ground Up: How Dr. Mbaya’s Farm Visits Are Changing Kitui South Agriculture By DR. FAITH MUSYOKA & PATRICK KIMANZI  The real work of transforming agriculture doesn’t happen in boardrooms — it happens in the dust, between rows of onions and under the shade of citrus trees. That’s where Kitui Executive for Agriculture and Livestock Dr. Stephen Mbaya Kimwele took his team yesterday stepping onto Mr. Kennedy Mutati’s farm in Kyatune Ward, Kitui South. The visit came right after a sub-county review meeting in Mutomo, where Chief Officer for Agriculture Gladys Kivoto, Director Kitoo, and other technical officers gathered to assess programme performance and push for a results-driven approach to service delivery. But for Dr. Mbaya, the meeting was only half the job. The other half was boots on the soil. Mr. Mutati’s farm tells the story of where Kitui South is headed. Here, irrigated onions grow alongside citrus and pawpaw orchards — a model of diversification desi...
