Tuesday, December 30, 2025 - The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested two traffic police officers in Murang’a and Mtwapa towns for soliciting and collecting bribes from motorists along major highways. In Murang’a, Police Constable Kelvin Mwangi, attached to the Murang’a Traffic Base, was apprehended following a targeted surveillance operation along the busy Kenol–Murang’a Road. The operation was launched after the Commission received multiple complaints from motorists about rampant bribery by traffic officers. A search of the suspect led to the recovery of KSh 6,450 in denominations of KSh 50, 100, and 200, reportedly collected within a two-hour period. His colleague, PC Mathew Osike, evaded arrest. Mwangi was escorted to the EACC Central Regional Offices for processing and later booked at Nyeri Police Station, where he was released on cash bail pending the conclusion of investigations. During the same operation, EACC officers disrupted another suspected bribery point along the Kerugoya–Kutus Road near Bekam area, where traffic officers reportedly fled into nearby bushes, leaving behind official police attire. In a separate operation along the Coast, EACC officers arrested Police Corporal Haroun Mazera Chamutu, attached to the Mtwapa Traffic Base, for allegedly soliciting bribes from motorists on the Mombasa–Malindi Highway. Upon arrest, KSh 13,750 in various denominations was recovered from the suspect. He was escorted to the EACC Upper Coast Regional Office in Malindi for statement recording and further processing. The arrests are part of ongoing EACC efforts to clamp down on corruption and bribery within the police service. The Kenyan DAILY POST

 

Tuesday, December 30, 2025 - A resident of Emurua Dikirr in Narok County has raised concern over a ruthless gang terrorizing locals, identifying itself as the “G12” gang.Photos shared online show suspected members of the group openly flaunting crude weapons, heightening fear among residents.The gang is alleged to be enjoying protection from powerful figures, including a serving Member of Parliament, according to community claims.In a past incident reported a few months ago, the group is said to have held an MCA hostage in what appeared to be an attempt to stop the ward representative, a known critic of the area MP, from attending President William Ruto’s development tour in the region.Residents are now appealing to security agencies to intervene and mount a crackdown on the gang before the situation worsens.

Tuesday, December 30, 2025 - Kisumu Woman Representative, Ruth Odinga, has strongly dismissed claims that the late ODM leader, Raila Odinga, held private conversations on national issues, insisting that the veteran politician always made his positions public.“Anyone telling Kenyans that Hon. Raila had a series of private conversations with him on a wide range of issues is lying, and must be called out.”“Jakom had a way of speaking his mind and would make public his stand on national issues,” Ruth said.“At the right time, I will tell the nation all that Raila said,” the Kisumu Women Rep added.She urged ODM members to avoid sideshows and instead pursue the 10-point agenda outlined in the NADCO report, which Raila had agreed upon with President William Ruto before his death.She further alleged that some individuals within ODM were attempting to “sell” the party, claiming that they had already been given timelines to finalize such a transaction.“Do not sell the ODM Party. Those who want to sell it do not understand the struggles, deaths, and detentions that birthed multiparty democracy and subsequently ODM,” she asserted.While clarifying that she was not opposed to ODM negotiating with the Government ahead of the 2027 elections, Ruth questioned the terms of such talks.“If we are to join the Government, what would be the conditions?”“We risk negotiating ourselves to oblivion if we don’t strengthen the party to ensure we have numbers at the table,” she cautioned.Raila Odinga passed away on October 15th after suffering a cardiac arrest during a morning walk at an Ayurvedic facility in Kochi, India.He was laid to rest on October 19th at his ancestral home in Kang’o Ka Jaramogi, Bondo, Siaya County.His elder brother, Oburu Odinga, has since taken over as ODM party leader.

Tuesday, December 30, 2025 - Siaya Governor, James Orengo, has sounded an alarm over what he termed as a deliberate attempt to shrink the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) into a regional party following the death of its longtime leader, Raila Odinga.Speaking on Monday, December 29th, Orengo alleged that some individuals within the party were pushing ODM to become a Luo-only outfit, noting that members from other regions had remained largely silent amid the ongoing wrangles.“I see an attempt to try and drive ODM to become purely a Luo party.”“The elements of the party from other regions are fairly quiet when we have these wars within the party,” Orengo said.He cautioned that if ODM were to align with the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA), the party risked losing its national appeal.“When you do analysis, if we choose to work with Kenya Kwanza or UDA, most likely ODM is going to be a small party.”“It will be pushed back to Luo Nyanza basically, and we must be very conscious of that effort,” he warned.Orengo urged ODM leaders to dedicate the next 10 to 12 months to strengthening the party nationally before engaging in coalition talks.“We have about 10 or 12 months which we can spend in building ODM as a national party, rip from the legacy of Raila Odinga, and thereafter talk about coalitions,” he added.His remarks came a day after Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Nassir called on ODM to consider a pre-election coalition with UDA ahead of the 2027 General Elections.Nassir, who serves as ODM Deputy Party Leader, argued that leadership requires pragmatic choices informed by political realities, stressing that ODM must prioritize strategy over slogans to safeguard its interests.

He loved us equally. He did not favour anyone,” she said.She recalled how Jirongo’s travels often ended with identical gifts for each wife, a gesture that symbolized equality in both value and intent.“He would return carrying three phones. If they were iPhones, they were all iPhones. If it was Gucci bags, they were Gucci bags in different colours,” Lanoi explained.Even with perfumes, he would buy the same brand but select different scents, making each wife feel special.“He was fair to all of us. We thank him for that, because he made us feel special,” she added.Jirongo’s life was tragically cut short in a road accident on Saturday, December 13th, 2025, at Karai along the Nakuru-Nairobi Highway.Rift Valley Regional Traffic Commander, Sara Chumo, confirmed the accident occurred at around 3:00 am, when Jirongo’s Mercedes-Benz collided head-on with a bus.He sustained fatal head injuries and died instantly.Jirongo, a former Cabinet Minister and two-term MP, leaves behind a legacy that continues to spark national conversation in both politics and family life.

Tuesday, December 30, 2025 - Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Secretary General, Edwin Sifuna, has publicly apologized to former President Uhuru Kenyatta over recent insults directed at him by some ODM leaders.Speaking on Tuesday, December 30th, during the burial of former Cabinet Minister Cyrus Jirongo in Kakamega County, Sifuna sought to ease tensions between ODM and the former Head of State.“Because I’m still the ODM Secretary General, I want as the spokesperson to apologize to you, Uhuru Kenyatta, and ask for forgiveness on behalf of our Party for the insults you have been receiving from various ODM leaders,” Sifuna said.The Nairobi Senator expressed disappointment that some members had turned against Uhuru despite his role in supporting Raila Odinga’s presidential ambitions.“They have forgotten the much support you offered Raila Odinga when he vied for presidency.”“Now they want to cut the hand that fed them,” he remarked.Sifuna also expressed gratitude to the former President, acknowledging his friendship with Raila.“As I apologize on behalf of the thoughtless, I also want to say thank you to you.”“Thank you for supporting Baba Raila Amolo Odinga, who always said you were among his few true friends,” he added.Addressing accusations that he was trying to align ODM with Uhuru, Sifuna defended himself against critics allegedly courting President William Ruto.“There are people holding meetings in Kilgoris, trying to sell ODM to William Ruto. We called them out, and suddenly they are pointing fingers back at us, that I’m trying to sell ODM to Uhuru,” he said, challenging them to provide evidence.His apology comes amid recent attacks on Uhuru by ODM leaders, including Chairperson Gladys Wanga and Minority Leader Junet Mohamed, who accused him of sowing discord within the party.

Tuesday, December 30, 2025 - Siaya Governor, James Orengo, has dismissed rumours surrounding his health following recent absence from the public.Speaking during an interview with a local television station, Orengo insisted that he was in good health and had spent time visiting friends in India while attending to personal matters.“I am well, but I was in India, in New Delhi, where I spent some time with friends. I then went to Hyderabad, where I also have a number of friends who live there,” he explained.The Governor noted that his trips to India were not unusual, as he has previously travelled there for both personal visits and medical examinations.He recalled that years ago, while visiting Chennai, a friend encouraged him to explore Hyderabad, describing it as a modern and rapidly developing city.Addressing the speculation directly, Orengo confirmed that he underwent routine medical check-ups during his stay, something he said he regularly does in different Indian cities including Chennai, New Delhi and Mumbai.“While there, I went for medical check-ups, which I normally do.”“I have gone to Chennai, New Delhi and Bombay before, and it was just that,” he said.Orengo added that he deliberately chose not to respond to rumours while away, preferring instead to return and let the public judge his health for themselves.“I thought instead of answering rumours, I should just present myself so that people can make up their own minds,” he concluded.

Tuesday, December 30, 2025 - Kisumu Woman Representative, Ruth Odinga, has strongly dismissed claims by businessman, Oketch Salah, that the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga privately warned him about Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna being a mole within the ODM Party.In a statement, Ruth rejected suggestions that Raila engaged in secret conversations, stressing that the ODM leader was known for his openness and consistency in communicating his positions.“Raila Odinga was not a gossiper. He would speak with everyone regardless of their position in society, and this is a story those who knew him understand pretty well,” she said.Ruth challenged individuals claiming to have held exclusive discussions with Raila on sensitive matters, describing such assertions as false and misleading.“Anyone telling Kenyans that Hon. Raila had a series of private conversations with him on a wide range of issues is lying, and must be called out.”“Jakom had a way of speaking his mind and would make public his stand on national issues,” she added.She further emphasized that Sifuna enjoyed the same relationship with Raila as many other young leaders within ODM and should not be singled out.“Talking of Baba’s sons, Nairobi Senator and ODM SG, Edwin Sifuna, was equally his son and used to talk to him.”“So no one should claim to have been closer to Raila than everyone else,” Ruth said.Her remarks came after Salah, who claims to be Raila’s adopted son, during a stopover at Kondele on Christmas Eve, alleged that Raila had privately warned him about Sifuna’s loyalty.Salah claimed Raila described Sifuna as “someone else’s dog” and accused the Senator of undermining ODM even before Raila’s death.
