Wednesday, February 11, 2026 - Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has dismissed reports suggesting that the County is preparing to surrender key functions to the national Government.Speaking during the State of the County Address on Wednesday, February 11th, Sakaja described speculation of a return to the defunct Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) as a “misadventure.”He argued that the NMS experiment left behind a Ksh16 billion debt in pending bills, low staff morale, and what he termed as “destruction of devolution.”“The functions bestowed upon the County Government of Nairobi in the constitution will remain County functions; we shall not transfer any functions,” Sakaja declared.His remarks followed reports that he had agreed with President William Ruto on a shared responsibility formula that will see the national Government take charge of garbage collection, public works and water supply.Sakaja clarified that while Nairobi is open to collaboration, this does not amount to ceding authority.“We are pursuing procedures using the Urban Areas and Cities Act to enhance support in infrastructure, but the city will continue to be governed as a County Government under the law,” he said.Key areas of cooperation include construction of new classrooms, expansion and resurfacing of roads, and a joint programme for cleanliness and water improvements.Among flagship projects is a modern waste‑management facility in Ruai, expected to convert refuse into fertiliser and energy once operational.On February 8th, President Ruto affirmed his commitment to work with Sakaja to elevate Nairobi’s infrastructure.“I will come here with my work on affordable housing, cleaning, and markets, and I know the people of Nairobi will decide from there,” Ruto said.

Wednesday, February 11, 2026 - Nairobi County Chief Officer for Citizen Engagement and Customer Service, Geoffrey Mosiria, has shared details of a bizarre scam that saw a man lose more than Ksh150,000 in his quest to join Freemasonry.In an interview with a local media outlet on Wednesday, February 11th, 2026, Mosiria recalled how the man believed he could help him after being promised wealth.“Yaani aliibiwa na shetani hii town. Alikwa anataka kuingia Freemasonry, akaambiwa atakuwa tajiri wa kutajika. Akaambiwa hii sasa tunakuregister alafu ukiingia utapatana na Lucifer,” Mosiria said. (Loosely translated: “Satan conned him in this city. He wanted to join Freemasonry and was assured that he would be wealthy and meet Lucifer.”)The victim was directed to supposed offices near Uhuru Park, prompting him to reach out to Mosiria.The county official explained that his previous visit to the building in his official capacity made the man believe he could assist.“Alinipigia kuniambie nimsaidie nimpeleke hapo Freemasons kwa sababu tuliendanga kuchukua rates zetu hawakua wamelipa,” Mosiria recounted. (Translation: He called me and requested assistance in taking him to the building, as we had previously gone there to collect rates.)The man shared messages from an individual identified as “Chief Benard,” who promised to connect him to Lucifer once he received a registration number.Each step of the elaborate scheme required payment, eventually draining the victim of over Ksh150,000.Mosiria even shared screenshots of the exchanges, showing how the fraudsters manipulated the man’s desperation with promises of wealth and protection.

Wednesday, February 11, 2026 - Residents of Nairobi’s upscale Kilimani Estate are once again living in fear following the return of a notorious burglar infamously nicknamed “Kilimani’s Spiderman”, a daring thief known for scaling apartment balconies and exterior walls to break into homes. The suspect earned the nickname due to his unusual climbing skills, which allow him to scale multi-storey buildings under the cover of darkness and access apartments through balconies and sliding doors. According to one resident who shared her experience, the thief once climbed all the way to her friend’s fifth-floor apartment, catching her completely off guard. “She was relaxing on the balcony, sipping a glass of wine, when suddenly a stranger appeared out of nowhere,” the resident recalled. “Imagine the shock of seeing someone emerge from the wall like a movie scene. It was terrifying,” she added. In the latest incident, CCTV footage from Cherrywood Apartments along Dennis Pritt Road shows the suspect climbing from balcony to balcony and making his way up to the 10th floor with ease. The footage has sparked fresh panic among residents, many of whom now fear their homes could be next. Those living along Dennis Pritt Road have been urged to remain vigilant and take extra precautions, including locking balcony doors and securing windows at night. “For those living along Dennis Pritt Road, please be vigilant. Spiderman is back terrorising apartments,” a concerned resident warned.

Wednesday, February 11, 2026 - The murder trial of John Matara Ong’oa continued at the Milimani High Court, with the prosecution presenting fresh testimony linking the accused to the brutal killing of 24-year-old socialite, Starlet Wahu. Matara is accused of murdering Wahu on the night of January 3rd, 2024, at Papino Apartments in South B, Nairobi. The prosecution, led by Counsel Ms. Della Wilbey, called two additional witnesses before Hon. Justice Alexander Muteti. Government Chemist Emily Oporo told the court that DNA analysis placed both the victim and the accused at the centre of the crime scene. She testified that DNA profiles belonging to Starlet Wahu and John Matara were detected on a knife believed to be the murder weapon, as well as on a towel recovered from the scene. The court also heard testimony from the arresting officer, Horace Arwa, attached to South B Police Station, who detailed how the suspect was tracked down and apprehended. Arwa said he responded to a report from two women who had discovered a woman lying in a pool of blood inside house number Y32 at Papino Apartments. Upon arrival, he found the lifeless body, later identified as Wahu. Investigations led officers to pursue Matara after reports emerged that he had been spotted near South B Hospital carrying a blood-soaked towel. Police later learnt that he had been referred to Mbagathi Hospital. At Mbagathi, officers found him receiving treatment, with his clothes soaked in blood and a white towel wrapped around his waist. According to the officer’s testimony, Matara admitted to having a scuffle with the deceased and allegedly stated that he stabbed her on the left thigh. However, further questioning was halted as he was undergoing medical care at the time. After his discharge, Matara was arrested alongside Andrew Nyongesa, who had reportedly taken him to the hospital. Police recovered and preserved his blood-stained clothes as exhibits, which were later presented in court. The Kenyan DAILY POST

Wednesday, February 11, 2026 - Presidential hopeful and human rights activist, Boniface Mwangi, has ignited a heated debate after boldly declaring that Kenya should scrap private schools altogether.In a recent interview, Mwangi argued that the elite’s preference for private institutions drains resources and attention from public schools, leaving them underfunded and neglected.He vowed to standardize education nationwide - ensuring every child has access to modern classrooms, libraries, laboratories, computer labs and well‑paid teachers if elected President.“This country should not have private schools. It should only have public schools, fully funded by the Government. No one should pay for education from kindergarten to university,” Mwangi said.Critics, however, were quick to point out that Mwangi’s own children attend Brookhouse, one of Nairobi’s most prestigious schools, where fees can soar above Ksh 2.27 million per term.Many labeled him a hypocrite.Mwangi responded candidly, admitting that his children are in private schools but explaining that the choice was driven by the poor state of many public institutions.He stressed that this is precisely what he hopes to change if elected.“My children attend private schools because public schools are underfunded, mismanaged, and run down. As president, I shall properly fund education and standardize all schools,” he reaffirmed. The Kenyan DAILY POST
