Monday, September 1, 2025 - A 73-year-old British woman who spent her childhood in Kenya before fleeing during the Mau Mau uprising says her lifelong wish is to return to Nairobi.Speaking in an interview, she was asked what she has always wanted to do but never had the chance.Her response was simple: “Get to Nairobi. That is where I was brought up. I went to school there.”She explained that she left Kenya at the age of 11, fleeing aboard a steamship with only a suitcase and a teddy bear.“I was like a refugee,” she recalled.“We were put in a shed at Southampton. That is why I have empathy for migrants today, because I went through the same anxiety of waiting to be cleared by customs.”The woman described herself as “an old colonial” who had no choice but to leave during the Jomo Kenyatta era.Asked whether she would return if given the opportunity, she responded without hesitation: “Absolutely.” An old colonial, 73, brought up in Kenya before fleeing to the UK as a migrant when Mau Mau uprising began, wants to return to Nairobi. pic.twitter.com/cVQu3VySAB— Saddique Shaban (@SaddiqueShaban) August 31, 2025 The Kenyan DAILY POST

Monday, September 1, 2025 - Media personality and actress, Jacquey Nyaminde better known as Wilbroda, has shared a heartfelt behind-the-scenes story from her days on the beloved TV show Papa Shirandula. Speaking on a podcast, Wilbroda revealed that the late Charles Bukeko, Papa himself, was genuinely upset when fellow cast member Jackie Vike, famously known as Awinja, became pregnant. According to Wilbroda, Papa wasn’t just a colleague or lead actor; he embodied the role of a father figure to the young cast. She recalled how deeply protective he was, often checking in on their personal lives and guiding them beyond the cameras. “When Vike got pregnant, Papa was not happy. He kept calling me, asking who was responsible, saying he didn’t like how it had happened,” she recounted. “But his reaction came from a place of concern, not judgment. He really felt responsible for us.” Wilbroda explained that Papa worried about how pregnancy might affect Awinja’s blossoming career, especially since she was one of the show’s breakout stars. His disappointment, she stressed, was rooted in care - reflecting his sense of duty as a mentor who wanted the best for his team. Jackie Vike, however, embraced motherhood wholeheartedly, welcoming her son in June 2017. Today, she continues to thrive both as a mother and as an actress, balancing the two with resilience and grace. The Kenyan DAILY POST

Monday, September 1, 2025 - Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has expressed concern over what he termed as rising insecurity in the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD). In a statement on Monday, September 1st, Sonko claimed that thugs armed with crude weapons, including knives, machetes, and even toy guns, have been targeting unsuspecting members of the public, with women being the most affected. “Cases of thugs using crude weapons to steal from the public within the CBD have become rampant. Their main target is women,” Sonko said. He urged the National Police Service (NPS) to act swiftly, adding: “As a former leader of Nairobi, I appeal to the police to move with speed and bring these culprits to book.” “Their days are numbered.” His remarks follow a viral video of a woman narrating her encounter with suspected thugs along Kimathi Street. The woman said she noticed a group trailing her before rushing to safety and booking an Uber. The driver reportedly told her such incidents were increasingly common. The concerns come a week after NPS addressed insecurity claims linked to an attack at Nanak House. Police said the incident was a targeted dispute, not a wider trend, and confirmed one arrest. NPS reiterated that Nairobi’s CBD remains secure for business and pledged ongoing vigilance. We've been saying this for a while now, Nairobi CBD is back to the 90sNo lights, knives and syringes.... Most importantly, no police in sight Primary target is young ladiesTake care of your loved ones, duale is the CS of health pic.twitter.com/FAQmf75gVI— Rapcha The Sayantist (@IAMRAPCHA) September 1, 2025 The Kenyan DAILY POST

Monday, September 1, 2025 - Eight-year-old, Jennifer Michelle Achieng, was allegedly killed by her teacher at New View Academy in Kayole after failing to answer a question correctly, and a cover-up was quickly staged to bury the truth. Reports indicate that pupils who witnessed the chilling incident were each handed Ksh 30 to buy their silence. When human rights activist Njeri Migwi led protests demanding justice, she was instead arrested, dragged to court, and harassed by authorities. Shockingly, the school continued operating as if nothing had happened. “I used to go there every morning and remind parents that their kids could be killed too,” Njeri recalled. The matter even reached the Senate, yet no meaningful action was taken. In what many saw as an attempt to silence the bereaved family, Jennifer’s mother was reportedly given a job, while Njeri’s court case was quietly dropped last year. Meanwhile, the school has since rebranded under a new name and still operates in the same neighborhood. The Kenyan DAILY POST
