Tuesday, February 10, 2026 - The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has informed the court that he is ready to lay bare a narrative of treachery, greed and conspiracy that led to the cold murder of Hon. Charles Ong’ondo Were. In an opening statement delivered by Gikui Gichuhi, Senior Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions, before Kibera High Court Judge, Lady Justice Diana Kavedza, the prosecution stated that Were’s killing was a carefully orchestrated plot executed by a friend-turned-foe. The court heard that a bodyguard entrusted with the sole responsibility of protecting the MP instead succumbed to cold, calculated greed and secretly collaborated with individuals who wanted the legislator dead, allegedly using hired machinery to carry out the plan. “The prosecution will present credible and cogent evidence to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the five accused persons before you jointly planned and orchestrated this heinous act,” said Gichuhi. The DPP told the court that investigators had pieced together a chain of testimonial, documentary and forensic evidence to demonstrate that the accused persons and no one else are responsible for Were’s murder. Prosecutors further explained that they had categorized the roles of each accused person to help the court navigate the complex evidence. “The third accused person is the man who pulled the strings. The evidence will show that he wanted the deceased eliminated to bury his secrets and, rather than pulling the trigger himself, provided orders and funding to satisfy his evil desire,” Gichuhi stated. The prosecution added that the first accused person was the mastermind who meticulously planned the events of the fateful day, while the second accused person allegedly made the murder weapon available and went to great lengths to conceal the crime. The fourth accused person is said to have pulled the trigger for financial gain, while the fifth accused person allegedly abused a position of trust to deliver the deceased into the hands of his killers. “My Lady, before this court today, we speak for a life that was brutally and unlawfully taken away. The deceased was not just a victim; he was an honourable Member of Parliament, a leader entrusted with the voice and hopes of his people, a father whose children looked up to him for guidance and protection, and a husband whose family depended on him for love, care and stability,” the prosecution told the court. The DPP has charged William Imoli alias Imo, Edwin Odour Odhiambo alias Machuani, Ebel Ochieng alias Dave Calo, Isaac Kuria, and Allan Ogola with the offence. They are alleged to have murdered Ong’ondo Were on the night of April 30th, 2025, at around 7:40 p.m. The prosecution was led by Mr.Vincent Monda, Gikui Gichuhi, Peris Maina and Christine Timoi Via ODPP

Tuesday, February 10, 2026 - Kenyan digital content creator, Pritty Vishy, has stirred online debate after encouraging women to prioritize themselves and consider living child‑free. In a statement shared on her Instagram stories on Tuesday, February 10th, 2026, she urged women to focus on personal well‑being rather than bowing to societal pressure to have children. She argued that many men enjoy the idea of fatherhood but shy away from the responsibilities of raising children. “Men don’t love kids, they love the process of making kids.” “They love telling their friends and society they have kids.” “If men were the ones to get pregnant, they would never do it.” “So women, please choose yourselves and be child‑free,” she wrote. Her remarks follow earlier comments where she said she would rather face financial struggles alone than raise children in hardship. Vishy has also spoken openly about caring for her nonverbal autistic sister, noting that while she isn’t financially well‑off, she is grateful not to have additional responsibilities.  “At least I’m broke on my own. Imagine being broke with two kids,” she shared on January 7th. The Kenyan DAILY POST

The ministry emphasized that Prophet Owuor has never suggested or displayed any such communication, describing the viral image as a deliberate attempt to ridicule the Christian faith and distract believers from the central message of repentance and holiness. “Prophet Dr. Owuor has never made, displayed, or alluded to any such communication.” “The circulating material is a deliberate fabrication intended to mislead the public, ridicule the Christian faith, and distract from the central message of repentance, holiness, and preparation for the coming of the Messiah,” the statement added. Members of the public were urged to disregard the false narrative, refrain from sharing it, and avoid amplifying misleading content.

Tuesday, February 10, 2026 - Democracy for the Citizens Party (DP) leader, Rigathi Gachagua, has vowed to shield former President Uhuru Kenyatta from what he described as intimidation attempts by President William Ruto’s administration. Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, February 10th, Gachagua accused the Government of deploying junior politicians to threaten Uhuru with the withdrawal of his retirement package following his criticism of the Kenya Kwanza administration. “I will not allow Uhuru Kenyatta to be intimidated.” “I have a responsibility from the region to defend our son and kingpin,” Gachagua declared. He alleged that the threats were aimed at curbing Kenyatta’s political freedom, discouraging him from engaging with other leaders or expressing independent views. Gachagua dismissed the notion that Uhuru could be silenced over allowances, describing him as a statesman who commands respect. “He is not a poor man. He has worked hard to build resources, and I don’t think he can be told to shut up,” he said. Gachagua further pledged that if the United Opposition wins the 2027 General Elections, they will reinstate Uhuru’s retirement package should it be withdrawn. He claimed that the attacks on the former President stem from Ruto’s fear of a united Mount Kenya region. “Ruto is in shock, confused, and has panicked because the unity of the Mountain is real.” “He had hoped Uhuru would help divide the region, but that plan has failed,” Gachagua asserted. He urged Ruto to stop blaming his predecessor for current challenges, insisting that the Head of State had failed to deliver on campaign promises. Leaders allied to Ruto have repeatedly threatened to block Uhuru’s benefits, with presidential aide, Farouk Kibet, warning that the exchequer will stop remitting funds to the former President.

We should not be in a hurry,” Gachagua said.He assured Kenyans that the coalition will front a single candidate from its member parties to challenge President William Ruto.“We are committed to having a single presidential candidate to face William Ruto.”“We want to ask for patience from the people of Kenya. Coalition building is a delicate affair,” he emphasized.In the same vein, Gachagua accused President Ruto of enabling corruption and transforming State House into a hub for political activities.“State House has become a scene of crime. It has become a centre of corruption and bribery.”“Ruto has abandoned Government; he is just thinking about re‑election,” he charged.He further alleged that both the National Assembly and Senate had become corruption hotbeds, claiming legislators were bribed during his removal from office.“Senators who hounded me out of office were given Ksh.10 million each, and others Ksh.20 million.”“It is a den of corruption, so is the National Assembly,” he said.
