Thursday, January 22, 2026 - A Kenyan family from Waterloo, Lowa, United States, is mourning the heartbreaking loss of their three children following a devastating road accident that occurred while they were on vacation in Kenya. The fatal crash happened on January 4th, 2026, along a highway near Nairobi, abruptly turning what was meant to be a joyful holiday into a family tragedy. The victims were siblings Emmanuel DeLeon (13), an eighth-grade student at Hoover Middle School; Kairu Winkelpleck, a first-grader at Royal Legacy Christian Academy; and their elder sister, Njeri DeLeon (16), a junior at West High School. Emmanuel and Kairu tragically died at the scene of the accident. Njeri was rushed to hospital with critical injuries and placed in a medically induced coma. Sadly, she succumbed to her injuries on Friday, days after the crash. Just three months before her death, Njeri had been featured in her school’s online publication, The Wahawk Insider, in recognition of her role as a cheerleader, an achievement that has since made her loss even more poignant to her school community. Friends, classmates, and members of the Kenyan diaspora in the United States have been sharing messages of condolence, describing the children as bright, loving and full of promise. The family is now grappling with unimaginable grief as they prepare to lay their children to rest. The Kenyan DAILY POST

The street has lost meaning,” he added.Big Ted is the immediate former Consul‑General for Kenya’s Consulate in Los Angeles having been appointed in April 2022 by former President Uhuru Kenyatta.Before that, he served as Deputy Director and later Director of Brand and Strategy at State House.

Thursday, January 22, 2026 - A Nairobi court has acquitted Michael Macharia Njiri, popularly known as DJ Brownskin, of charges linked to the death of his wife, Sharon Njeri Mwangi.Sharon died on July 29th, 2022, after ingesting pesticide at their home in Kariobangi South, Nairobi.Brownskin had faced three counts: aiding suicide, neglecting to prevent a felony and destroying evidence.Prosecutors alleged that he failed to stop Sharon despite knowing her intentions, and later tampered with his mobile phone to obstruct investigations.He denied all charges, with seven witnesses called to testify against him.On Thursday, January 22nd, 2026, Milimani Principal Magistrate Carolyne Nyaguthii Mugo ruled that the prosecution failed to prove its case.She highlighted testimony from the couple’s daughter, who described her father as a caring husband who struggled to rush Sharon to hospital.“These are actions of a person who cares,” the magistrate noted.The court also observed that Brownskin was arrested nearly a year after Sharon’s death, following the leak of a video showing her consuming poison.The footage, which surfaced amid custody disputes with in‑laws, was never formally produced in court.Magistrate Nyaguthii said the video appeared intended to tarnish the DJ’s image during the custody battle.She further faulted the lack of key evidence, including proper documentation of the alleged phone tampering.“A prima facie case has not been established against the accused person, and I proceed to acquit him on all counts,” she ruled.

Thursday, January 22, 2026 - The family of 23‑year‑old university graduate, Shawn Mark Mwangi, is demanding answers after his body was discovered at Nairobi City Mortuary under unclear circumstances, weeks after he went missing in Kasarani Estate. Shawn was last seen on December 7th, only for his decomposing body to later be identified at the morgue, bearing severe injuries that pointed to a brutal end. The shocking discovery has left his mother devastated, reflecting on the sacrifices she made to raise her son, now lost in such tragic fashion. According to the family, police assistance has been minimal. They were informed that Shawn’s body had been recovered from a river in Kasarani by officers from Sunton Police Station and registered as “unknown.” Yet when they viewed the remains, they were confronted with harrowing injuries, deep head lacerations, a broken back, and swelling that made identification even more painful. His mother recounted the heartbreaking moment: “His face was swollen, blood oozing from his ears and mouth. It was a horrible scene.” She added that Shawn’s body bore cuts on the forehead and arm, with blood flowing toward the neck, suggesting further wounds. Adding to the mystery, Shawn was found dressed in clothing different from what he wore when he disappeared, raising suspicions that his killers may have changed his attire to conceal his identity. Despite these disturbing details, the family says police at Kasarani have offered little clarity. “The t‑shirt he had on at the mortuary was not his. Officers say they have no information,” his mother explained. An autopsy confirmed Shawn died from blunt force trauma and severe head injuries. His family now continues their painful search for justice, demanding accountability and answers. The Kenyan DAILY POST

Thursday, January 22, 2026 - President William Ruto brought comic relief to Kinoru Stadium in Meru on Thursday, January 22nd, 2026, when he paused mid‑speech to compliment a young man’s hairstyle. The lighthearted exchange left the crowd in stitches as the Head of State attempted to sound youthful by switching into “sheng.” “Hio hairstyle yako iko noma, inaitwa aje?” Ruto asked, loosely translated as “You have a good hairstyle, what is it called?” The young man laughed and explained that he planned to cut it short, noting that many people viewed him as a joker because they believed a serious person should keep a shaved head. But the President quickly reassured him, insisting there was no need to change his look. “Hakuna haja ya kupunguza iko sawa.” He added, “There is no need to shave; it (the hair) is just fine.” The humorous moment unfolded as Ruto listened to youth share ideas on how they plan to use the NYOTA Government business development funds. @lightcasttvkenya "Hiyo hairstyle yako iko noma, hakuna haja ya kupunguza!"~President Ruto shares light moment with Kevin from Runyenjes. ♬ original sound - Lightcast TV Kenya The Kenyan DAILY POST

Thursday, January 22, 2026 - A Nairobi woman has taken her battle for justice to court, accusing a doctor of performing surgery without a valid practising licence. Lydia Mokeira Minyega, represented by lawyer Danstan Omari, says she was admitted for emergency treatment in early January 2026 after an assault and later underwent surgery. Shockingly, she claims she later discovered the doctor was not licensed to practise that year, a fact she says was confirmed by both the Social Health Authority (SHA) and the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC). According to her petition, the surgery was conducted without mandatory pre‑authorisation from SHA. She further alleges that poor post‑operative care left her with swelling, numbness and a prolonged hospital stay. Beyond the medical concerns, Lydia says the handling of her hospital bill exposed her to potential financial loss and insurance complications. Now, she is seeking urgent court orders to suspend the doctor’s licence for 2026 and to block any renewal until the matter is fully heard. The KMPDC has been listed as an interested party in the case, which Lydia insists raises broader questions about patient safety in Kenya’s healthcare system. The Kenyan DAILY POST

Thursday, January 22, 2026 - The Chairperson of the Presidential Council of Economic Advisors, David Ndii, has dismissed the High Court’s declaration that the offices of Presidential Advisors are unconstitutional, terming the ruling a “pyrrhic victory.” Reacting to the ruling on X, Ndii argued that the decision will not stop him or other advisors from continuing to guide President William Ruto, noting that he had advised the Head of State informally long before his election. “We don’t need state offices to advise the President. We supported him for two years on the road to victory.” “We can do it as an informal kitchen cabinet over breakfast every morning,” he said. His remarks came hours after Justice Bahati Mwamuye ruled that the creation of the advisory offices and the appointment of 21 individuals to those positions had no legal basis. The court quashed all related decisions, faulting the Government for bypassing the Public Service Commission (PSC) and failing to consult the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). Justice Mwamuye further held that the appointments undermined the spirit of the 2010 Constitution by ignoring mandatory procedures for establishing public offices. “The process violated the express letter and undermined the spirit of the Constitution by bypassing the independent recommendatory role of the PSC,” the judge stated. Ndii was appointed Chairperson of the Presidential Council of Economic Advisors on October 14th, 2022, alongside Mohammed Hassan and Nancy Laibuni. Since then, President Ruto has expanded his team of advisors with the number estimated at more than 21. The Kenyan DAILY POST

Thursday, January 22, 2026 - President William Ruto has suffered a significant blow after the High Court in Nairobi declared the offices of Presidential Advisors unconstitutional. Delivering judgment on Thursday, January 22nd, Justice Bahati Mwamuye ruled that the President acted outside the law by unilaterally creating the advisory positions without following constitutional and statutory procedures. The court found that the process bypassed the Public Service Commission (PSC), ignored the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), lacked public participation, and led to a bloated Executive structure. Justice Mwamuye emphasized that the PSC’s role had been reduced to a mere formality. “A constitutional recommendation is not a rubber stamp. It is a shield against caprice and the return to former ways that bedeviled public appointments,” he said. The court noted the absence of documentation showing PSC deliberations, including minutes, reports or financial assessments. It rejected the Government’s argument that the creation of the offices was an internal administrative matter, ruling instead that it was a governance decision with major fiscal implications requiring public participation. The judge further held that the appointments were opaque and amounted to political handpicking, with no advertisements, shortlisting or interviews conducted. He added that creating numerous high‑salaried advisory roles without a needs assessment or fiscal sustainability analysis violated Articles 10 and 201 of the Constitution. In its final orders, the court declared the offices unconstitutional and quashed all 21 appointments. The ruling comes months after Prof. Makau Mutua, who was appointed Senior Advisor on Constitutional Affairs, disclosed that he earns the equivalent of a Cabinet Secretary. The Kenyan DAILY POST

Thursday, January 22, 2026 - Suna East Member of Parliament, Junet Mohamed, has categorically dismissed any possibility of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) engaging in coalition talks with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s DCP ahead of the 2027 General Elections.Speaking on Wednesday, the outspoken legislator said Gachagua’s divisive rhetoric and tribal politics make cooperation impossible.“No, no, the DCP, we can’t discuss anything with them. Can you discuss anything with Gachagua? He’s the only impeached Deputy President in Africa,” Junet remarked.The National Assembly Minority Leader accused Gachagua of perpetuating ethnic divisions through controversial statements about communities and political shareholding.“He’s always talking about communities, saying these ones have shares, these ones should leave Kenya, these ones are Ugandans.”“He is constantly dividing Kenyans. How can we discuss anything with such a person?” Junet posed.Despite ruling out talks with Gachagua, Junet acknowledged that politics remains unpredictable.“Politics is the art of the unknown. Friends are foes tomorrow, foes are friends tomorrow. It’s normal in politics,” he observed.On whether ODM will back President William Ruto in 2027, Junet remained cautious, noting that negotiations are ongoing.“We have not reached there. If talks go well, we will support him. If not, we have options,” he said.Junet also addressed questions about Wiper Party leader, Kalonzo Musyoka, who supported Raila Odinga in three consecutive presidential bids.He praised Kalonzo’s loyalty but stopped short of committing ODM’s support.“He is a good man, loyal to the core. But coalitions are meant for specific elections.”“Once you don’t form Government, they end there,” Junet explained.He added that the initiative lies with Kalonzo to seek ODM’s backing.“It is him who should ask for the support. Personally, he didn’t ask me,” Junet concluded. The Kenyan DAILY POST

 

Thursday, January 22, 2026 - Suna East MP, Junet Mohamed, has defended the Orange Democratic Movement’s (ODM) decision to quickly appoint Oburu Oginga as party leader following the death of Raila Odinga. Speaking on Wednesday, January 21st, Junet said the party could not afford a leadership vacuum. “We were quick to install Oburu Odinga as party chair because ODM is a small Government.” “You can’t leave it hanging; anything can happen. It is an institution that governs this country,” he remarked. Junet dismissed concerns about Oburu’s age, noting that advanced years should not be viewed as a barrier to leadership. “Oburu Odinga is just 82 years old; he can still be president.” “In Zambia, Mutharika was elected at 85, and Paul Biya is 92, yet both are running their countries,” he said. Reflecting on the 2022 elections, Junet denied misusing campaign funds and expressed frustration over Raila’s defeat, attributing it partly to the nature of support from the outgoing Government. He argued that former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s involvement from State House weakened the campaign’s grassroots connection. “I didn’t take agents’ money. Baba lost because Uhuru was campaigning for him from State House instead of engaging with people on the ground,” he added. Junet further revealed that senior Government figures had privately warned him Raila would lose to William Ruto, lamenting that ODM’s campaign was too closely tied to the Government. "There were senior people in Government who told me that in a contest between Raila and Ruto, Raila would lose, yet these were the very people we were relying on.” “I just wish we had run that election without associating with the Government; it was just baggage that we carried," he noted. Looking ahead, Junet confirmed ODM’s commitment to remain in the broad-based Government until 2027 while preparing for future alliances. “ODM will be in a broad-based Government until 2027.” “We have already started negotiations for 2027, beginning with UDA.” “If we don’t reach an agreement, we will engage with other parties,” he stated.
