Friday, February 6, 2026 – A manipulated photo of a supposed aspiring female politician eyeing a seat in the 2027 General Elections on the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) ticket has sparked online reactions after ‘she’ visited party leader Rigathi Gachagua in what some supporters termed as an “inappropriate outfit.” The ‘young aspirant’ paid a courtesy call to the former Deputy President while wearing a short skirt, a move that quickly caught the attention of DCP supporters on social media. Some party loyalists, led by Mary Njoroge, criticised her dressing, arguing that it was not suitable for a formal political meeting. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Njoroge jokingly cautioned female visitors to dress more conservatively when meeting the party boss. “A humble request to ladies visiting our Murima king, kindly make sure the skirt is below the knees. We don't want distractions. The king has a very heavy job ahead,” she hilariously tweeted and shared the photo. The Kenyan DAILY POST

Friday, February 06, 2026 - Just days after the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) issued a stern warning against the misuse of new Kenya Shilling notes in decorative displays, popular Nairobi florists have switched to bouquets made entirely of US dollar bills.In a TikTok video shared on Thursday, February 5th, 2026, the florist showcased a striking arrangement crafted with crisp dollar denominations, including $5 notes.The florist explained that the move was deliberate to avoid clashing with CBK’s regulations.“Our designs don’t damage nor deface our currency notes ☺️,” she assured her followers, emphasizing that her creations remain compliant while still delivering the wow factor her clients expect.The CBK had earlier cautioned Kenyans against folding, gluing, taping, or stapling banknotes into ornamental displays, noting that such practices compromise the integrity of the currency and interfere with machines like ATMs and cash counters.The regulator stressed that while gifting money is acceptable, notes must remain in circulation-ready condition.Under Section 367 of the Penal Code, defacing currency is a punishable offence.Switching to dollar bouquets not only sidesteps these restrictions but also taps into the aspirational allure of foreign currency.

Friday, February 06, 2026 - Laikipia County is on the receiving end after unveiling its controversial ‘boda boda ambulances’ meant to ferry pregnant women across remote areas.The initiative, launched at Nanyuki County Referral Hospital by Health CECM, Albert Taiti, was intended to reduce maternal deaths by providing transport where conventional ambulances cannot reach.Governor Joshua Irungu defended the project, noting that poor road networks have cost lives, and the customised motorcycles - equipped with sidecars, stretchers, and first aid kits - were designed to bridge that gap.But Kenyans online were far from impressed. Many castigated the move as primitive, unsafe and a mockery of public service.Critics questioned how expectant mothers could endure the discomfort of a wheelbarrow‑style carrier on rugged terrain, while others argued that funds should have been directed towards proper ambulances.One user on X fumed, “With 200m the county can have 20 to 40 ambulances instead of this mkokoteni to serve our women!”Despite the backlash, the project is backed by the Swedish‑supported Eezer Initiative, which has piloted similar motorcycle ambulances in Burundi, completing 24,000 pregnancy‑related transports between 2021 and 2023.Eezer’s coordinator for Laikipia, Dr Alfred Sadera, insists that the innovation addresses a critical gap in maternal health, especially in regions where poor roads and long distances remain deadly obstacles.

Friday, February 06, 2026 - The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine has confirmed the recovery of bodies belonging to two Kenyan nationals recruited by Russia to fight in Ukraine. The deceased have been identified as Ombwori Denis Bagaka, born January 30th, 1987, and Wahome Simon Gititu, born May 21st, 1991. Their remains were discovered near the city of Lyman in the Donetsk region, close to another Kenyan mercenary, Clinton Nyapara Mogesa, who was killed in the same area. According to Ukrainian intelligence, all three Kenyans were recruited while working in Qatar for security companies that promised high and stable incomes. Bagaka and Mogesa arrived at a recruitment center in Yaroslavl, Russia, on September 27th, 2025, with Gititu joining them a month later. After a brief training period, they were deployed to the Donbas region and tasked with storming Lyman. Reports indicate that the men advanced into what was described as a “kill zone,” where Ukrainian Defense Forces engaged and killed them. Ukrainian officials noted that Russian command failed to provide support or evacuate the mercenaries during the battle. Identification documents found on their persons confirmed their Kenyan nationality. Mogesa’s body was discovered six days earlier at a Russian position in Donetsk, but his family has yet to receive official communication from Moscow. ❗️DIU reports that the bodies of two more Kenyan citizens who were recruited by the aggressor state of russia to wage a criminal war against Ukraine have been found in the vicinity of the city of Lyman in the Donetsk region.🔗: https://t.co/D2FFyEaFSU pic.twitter.com/vh9ybkOU9T— Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (@DI_Ukraine) February 6, 2026 The Kenyan DAILY POST

Friday, February 06, 2026 - The Media Council of Kenya (MCK) has issued a stern warning to media houses following controversial remarks about ugali made during a live interview. The uproar began after a panellist on Spice FM boldly claimed that “Ugali is the most useless food that is out there,” sparking heated debate across social platforms. In a statement dated Friday, February 6th, MCK urged media outlets to exercise caution when selecting guests to speak on nutrition and dietetics. The Council emphasized that only individuals accredited by the Kenya Nutritionists and Dieticians Institute (KNDI) should be invited to comment on such matters. “Media enterprises are urged to act with due diligence and consult KNDI on expertise qualifications to ensure the public receives accurate, professional health information, as investigations into this specific case have already commenced under the provisions of Cap 253B,” the statement read. Effective immediately, MCK directed media houses to conduct thorough background checks on interviewees before engaging them on sensitive national issues. The directive follows a formal advisory from KNDI, which condemned and disowned the controversial remarks, stressing that unregistered individuals should not be allowed to pose as experts. The Council further warned of legal consequences for both media houses and individuals masquerading as professionals. “Please be advised that engagements with non‑registered persons violate Sections 33 and 36(b) of the Nutritionists and Dieticians Act and may lead to unnecessary litigation against both the purported expert and the media enterprise,” MCK declared.

Friday, February 06, 2026 - Nominated Member of Parliament, Sabina Chege, came under sharp criticism from leaders allied to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua during a burial ceremony in Murang’a County on Friday, February 6th.Chege, who has openly supported President William Ruto, was accused of siding with the Government against the opposition.Kajiado North MP, Onesmas Ngogoyo, led the attack, alleging that Ruto had used police to intimidate opponents and questioning Chege’s silence on Government excesses.“What we ask is that those supporting the President is that you don’t plan violence, don’t send police officers and let us look for votes respectfully.”“Sabina, since you are telling us to support Ruto, explain to us why you do not speak about children being killed?”“You keep blabbing in the media about Wamunyoro. Why don’t you say things to his face?” Ngogoyo posed.Murang’a Senator Joe Nyutu echoed the criticism, telling Chege that her efforts to popularize Ruto in Mount Kenya will fail just as her attempts to rally support for Raila Odinga did.“To my sister, you said you tried to help Raila to climb the mountain but were unsuccessful.”“Now, Sabina, will you try to help Ruto, knowing very well he will not be able to? Join us so that we can vouch for our community and Kenya at large,” Nyutu stated.

Friday, February 06, 2026 - ODM party leader, Oburu Odinga, has issued a strongly worded response to Secretary General Edwin Sifuna, dismissing his recent claims that the Party Leader was not duly elected to office. In a statement released on Friday, Oburu accused Sifuna of “contradiction” and warned that “no one is bigger than the party.” He argued that the Secretary General has increasingly blurred the line between personal opinion and official party policy, creating confusion among members and supporters. The Siaya Senator faulted Sifuna for questioning his legitimacy as party leader, insisting that all current ODM officials are serving in line with resolutions passed by party organs. “ODM has, since its inception, demonstrated fidelity to its Constitution and to the rule of law.” “The same principle has put every individual in their rightful position, including that of Sen. Sifuna.” “We want to state categorically that all Party officials are serving substantially and supported by the Party organ resolutions,” Oburu stated. He further reminded Sifuna that he himself served as Secretary General without endorsement from the National Delegates Convention until 2022.“When Sifuna questioned the legality of some national officials… he overlooked a fundamental fact: he himself was elected SG by the same organ in February 2018 and discharged the functions of that office fully and effectively until February 2022, when the NDC subsequently endorsed him.” Despite the sharp rebuke, Oburu did not indicate whether disciplinary action will be taken. The party remains divided, with some members backing Sifuna’s call for ODM to chart its own course, while others push for a partnership with Ruto’s UDA party. Sifuna has maintained that he will not resign, reiterating on Citizen TV that only a Delegates’ Conference could remove him. This comes after Oburu’s sister, Kisumu Woman Representative Ruth Odinga, defended Sifuna, likening his stance to Raila Odinga’s past defiance. “If indeed he is a rebel, then how many times was Raila Odinga one?” “Even in the ‘nusu mkate’ Government, Raila would still stand his ground,” she said. She further asked: “If the MoU has not been honoured, with less than 30 days to its expiry, what is so treasonous about Sifuna publicly declaring it dead?” The Kenyan DAILY POST
