Read briefing'Both are my country': Palestinians on ties that bind them to UAE
Members of the UAE's vast Palestinian diaspora gathered to show their love, support and celebrate the ties that bind them to the Emirates. Families in traditional hand-embroidered thobes filled the conference centre at Expo City Dubai for Emirates Loves Palestine, the first community event of its kind.Grandchildren pushed their grandparents in wheelchairs and fathers held young children on their shoulders as they queued to hear folk songs and taste Palestine's famous breads and sweets.Many Palestinian residents were born in this country and have never lived in, or even visited, the home of their ancestors.“This event is so important to Palestinians, because it shows us how the UAE loves us, and takes care of Palestinian people,” said Sultan Mohamed, 15, who came with his siblings and parents.“I came here because we want to experience the music, the songs of the Palestinian people.”Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, was in attendance and said: "It gives me great pleasure to be with you at this wonderful fraternal gathering, which represents the largest gathering of the Palestinian community in the world, and which clearly embodies the sincere feelings of affection that the United Arab Emirates holds for Palestine and its brotherly people."He added: "In this gathering, which expresses the UAE's love for Palestine, we send together a messag...

Read briefingLiverpool v Nottingham Forest player ratings: Isak 4, Munoz 7; Williams 8, McAtee 7
Liverpool twice trailed to Nottingham Forest before coming back to earn a point in an entertaining 2-2 draw at Anfield.On a day it was announced Liverpool had agreed a deal with Paris Saint-Germain forward Bradley Barcola that could be worth £123 million, it was notable how little Alexander Isak was involved in the game, though he did get on the scoresheet.Dan Ndoye scored his first Nottingham Forest goal since the opening weekend of last season to put the away side ahead. Isak, who had another disappointing game, levelled the score on the hour, slotting home after good wing play from Cody Gakpo.Alisson Becker fouled former Liverpool teammate Neco Williams in the penalty area, conceding a penalty. Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White stepped up and dispatched his shot in the top left corner.Victor Munoz, a summer signing from Osasuna, then showed great feet to turn and shoot, and his effort crashed in off the underside of the bar via a slight deflection.It leaves Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola still searching for his first league win following last weekend's 2-2 draw against Newcastle United.What they saidLiverpool manager Andoni Iraola: "We were poor in the first half. We improved a lot our performance in the second half; we came from behind twice, but I think the first half didn't allow us to win the game at the end."Nottingham Forest defender Neco Williams: "Everyone knows how di...

The Government will invest Ksh4 billion in a new smart city in Malaba, Busia County, President William Ruto has announced. The President explained that the smart city, which will have 2,000 affordable housing units and other amenities, will create jobs and business opportunities for the residents, and attract investors to the border town. “We will build a smart city in Malaba so that it starts looking better and stops looking like a shopping centre,” he said. Addressing a delegation of grassroots leaders from the Iteso community at the Eldoret State Lodge, Uasin Gishu County, on Saturday, President Ruto said the Government has allocated Ksh18 billion to Busia County for the construction of affordable houses, modern markets and university and college student hostels, “Nationally, the Affordable Housing Programme has so far employed 1.1 million people, including architects, quantity surveyors, mechanical engineers, plumbers, carpenters, electricians and masons, among others,” he said. On the 1.5 per cent Housing Fund paid by employees and employers to support the Affordable Housing Programme, the President said public servants have not suffered financial loss because they have benefited from a 10 per cent salary in recent years. The President commended leaders from Busia County for educating the residents on the need to register with the Social Health Authority (SHA), saying 449,...
Read briefingWhy we buried Chemutai at her parents’ home despite court order -Family speaks
NAIROBI, Kenya, Aug 29 – The parents of late KCB executive Rosemary Chemutai Koech have explained why they proceeded to bury their daughter at night, despite a court order seeking to stop her interment at their family home in Chepseon, Kericho County. Speaking during a memorial service for Rosemary, her mother, Beatrice Koech, said the family was determined to give their daughter the dignity they believed she deserved and provide a place where her four children could easily visit and mourn her. The burial on Friday night came hours after the Milimani Commercial Magistrate’s Court issued interim orders stopping the interment without the involvement and consent of Rosemary’s husband, Kevin Migwe Kimwatu. The dispute had centred on where the 40-year-old KCB Bank Head of Data Protection should be buried, with her husband seeking to have her laid to rest at his ancestral home in Matasia, Ngong, Kajiado County, while her parents wanted her buried at their home in Chepseon. But speaking during the memorial, Beatrice said the family had chosen to lay Rosemary to rest on their land because they believed it offered her children a place of comfort and connection with their mother. “We are very excited that we have managed to give Chemu the dignity that she deserved and lead her to rest where she will continue to rest happily and where she will be cared and loved together with her children...
Read briefingKenyan Driver Reportedly Abducted and Assaulted in South Sudan
The Long Distance Drivers and Conductors Association of Kenya (LoDDCA) has issued a fresh advisory to truck drivers operating in South Sudan following a reported abduction and assault of a Kenyan driver.The incident allegedly occurred at around 4pm on Friday, August 28, at the Pilpham Roadblock along the Juba–Wau route, with LoDDCA claiming that security personnel were involved in seizing and harming the driver. Graphic footage shared by the association shows the driver being treated after his return, with visible knife wounds, bruises and swelling. The incident comes less than a week after Kenyan driver Ahmed Salat was reportedly shot dead while transporting cargo to Wau, while his turnman was left in critical condition. In a notice, LoDDCA instructed drivers at Elegu, Malaba and Busia to park their trucks and suspend movement until further notice, while those at loading points have been urged to stop taking on cargo.“Drivers currently at Elegu, Malaba and Busia are advised to park and hold off movement. Those at loading points are urged to stop loading until further notice. Enough is enough! Our drivers deserve safety and protection,” LoDDCA wrote in a notice.Additionally, the association has advised foreign drivers in South Sudan to leave the country where possible amid increased cases of violence. The latest advisory adds to previous warnings over attacks, harassment and other security challenges affecting Kenyan truckers using the South Sudan corridor. LoDDCA has appealed to South Sudanese authorities and security agencies to strengthen patrols and provide transporters with timely security information.Previously, drivers had been reminded to follow the 2021 operating guidelines, including travelling in convoys and avoiding solo journeys. The guidelines also restrict truck movements to between 8am and 4pm South Sudan time, while drivers passing through high-risk areas are advised to obtain police escorts.LoDDCA further criticised what it described as inadequate action to protect drivers who transport goods along the regional trade route.“We risk our lives keeping the economy moving, yet our safety continues to be ignored. How many more drivers must be abducted, assaulted or killed before this regime takes action?” the association wrote.

Read briefingIraq's Kurdistan Region says US military support not ending despite expiry of agreement
A security co-operation agreement between the US and Iraq’s Kurdistan Region is due to expire at the end of September, but it will not end ties between Erbil and Washington, Kurdish officials told The National, after reports US assistance to the region had been suspended.The US and the Kurdistan Regional Government signed an agreement in 2016 to support the reform and unification of the Peshmerga forces. The agreement is set to expire on September 30, coinciding with the withdrawal of troops from Iraq by the US and other members of the anti-ISIS coalition. “The expiration of the current agreement should not be interpreted as an end to the strategic partnership or co-operation between the US and the Kurdistan Region,” Noreldin Waisy, spokesman for KRG Prime Minister Masrour Barzani, told The National. “The Peshmerga have been a key and trusted partner in the fight against terrorism, and there remains a strong basis for continued security co-operation.”The agreement between the US and the KRG established a framework for US support to the Peshmerga during the campaign against ISIS. An updated agreement signed in September 2022 set out the terms of US support for a further four years, including assistance in counter-ISIS operations and efforts to professionalise and unify Kurdish forces.Mr Waisy said discussions could take place in the future on a new framework governing continued...
Read briefingKCB executive Rosemary Chemutai buried at night despite court order
NAIROBI, Kenya, Aug 29 – The late KCB Bank executive Rosemary Chemutai Koech-Kimwatu was buried at her parents’ home in Chepseon, Kericho County, on Friday night despite a court order issued hours earlier stopping her interment without the involvement and consent of her husband, Kevin Migwe Kimwatu.The dispute over her final resting place shifted to the courts, with the parties expected back before Milimani Commercial Magistrate’s Court on Monday, August 31 despite her interment.The burial was carried out after the family proceeded with the funeral arrangements, with reports indicating that the court order had not been served on them before the interment.The development came only hours after Senior Principal Magistrate Agnes Mwangi certified Kimwatu’s application as urgent and issued interim orders restraining Rosemary’s family, KCB Bank and other parties from removing her remains from Lee Funeral Home or proceeding with her burial without his involvement.The court had specifically barred the respondents, their relatives, agents and employees from interring or burying Rosemary without the involvement and consent of her husband pending the inter partes hearing.The orders followed an application filed by Kimwatu after he learnt that his wife’s family had planned to bury her at her parents’ home in Chepseon rather than at his ancestral home in Matasia, Ngong, Kajiado County.Kimwatu, who says he married Rosemary at St Austin’s Catholic Church in Nairobi in August 2013, argues that their 13-year marriage and the fact that they had four children gave him a right to participate in decisions concerning her final rites.He accuses Rosemary’s parents, Paul and Beatrice Koech, and her sister, Judy Koech-Oyamo, of excluding him from funeral committees and preparations following her death on August 21.The dispute escalated after Kimwatu visited Lee Funeral Home on August 26 to follow up on the burial arrangements and was shown a letter from KCB dated August 25.According to court documents, the bank’s employment records listed Rosemary’s sister, Judy Koech-Oyamo, and her eldest son, Charles Migwe Kimwatu, as her next of kin.The letter authorised the two to liaise with the funeral home over the release, collection and burial arrangements for Rosemary’s remains.The revelation became a key point of contention, with Kimwatu arguing that an employer’s internal next-of-kin records could not override his rights as a surviving spouse.His lawyers have accused KCB of involving itself in a private family dispute, arguing that employment records identifying a next of kin do not give an employer authority to determine where or how an employee’s remains should be buried.The bank’s letter, however, was expressly framed around funeral and mortuary arrangements, rather than the deceased’s estate or succession matters.Kimwatu has told the court that although his marriage to Rosemary had experienced difficulties, including a period of separation lasting about four months, the relationship remained legally intact. He maintains that they had reconciled and that she was planning to return home before her death.The family’s account, as reflected in the case documents and reports surrounding the dispute, points to deep domestic and financial difficulties during the period preceding Rosemary’s death.The contention is the question of where Rosemary should be laid to rest and who has the authority to make that decision.Her biological family had planned to bury her at the family home in Chepseon, Kericho County, where funeral arrangements had been announced before the court intervention.Kimwatu, on the other hand, wants her buried at his ancestral home in Matasia, Ngong, in Kajiado County.The court has not yet made a final determination on who has the ultimate right to decide Rosemary’s burial arrangements. The orders issued on Friday were interim measures intended to preserve the situation pending the hearing of the application.Rosemary was serving as KCB Bank Group’s Head of Data Protection within the Risk Division at the time of her death.She joined KCB as a Data Protection Officer in June 2022 and was promoted to Head of Data Protection in June 2023, having previously worked in legal, technology, regulatory and financial-services roles.Her death on August 21 triggered an outpouring of grief among relatives, colleagues and friends, with funeral arrangements initially proceeding without any public indication of the dispute that would later emerge.The conflict only became public after Kimwatu moved to court, saying he had been shut out of the preparations and had only discovered the identity of the people recognised by KCB as next of kin when he followed up at the mortuary.
Read briefingKNH Responds After Claims Newborn Was Denied Care Before Death
Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) has refuted claims circulating on social media that a mother and her newborn were denied treatment at the facility before the baby allegedly died. In a statement issued on Saturday, the hospital said it reviewed available records after the allegations emerged but found no matching case. According to KNH, its records indicate that the mother did not give birth at the hospital, leaving the circumstances surrounding the claims unverified.“Following the posts, the Hospital reviewed available patient and maternity records but found no corresponding record to verify the account. Available information indicates that the mother did not give birth at KNH, contrary to the allegation,” the statement read.The hospital acknowledged the possibility of documentation or communication gaps but said such lapses are not deliberate and should not affect patient safety. While expressing condolences to the family, KNH urged those involved, the person who raised the concerns, or anyone with relevant information to contact the Chief Executive Officer, Senior Director of Clinical Services, or Director of Nursing Services so the matter can be properly investigated.“We invite the affected family, the individual who raised the concerns, or anyone with relevant information to contact KNH through the channels below so that the facts can be established and the matter reviewed,” the statement added.KNH explained that patients are assessed according to the urgency of their medical needs, with cases stabilised, escalated or referred when necessary. The hospital disclosed that its maternity department is currently facing unusually high demand, partly because of industrial action affecting health services in several counties. It further explained that pressure has also been compounded by renovations in maternity and other wards, which have temporarily reduced the number of available beds. To cope with the situation, the national referral hospital said it has added medical staff and strengthened triage and referral arrangements. Bed availability and critical-care capacity are also being monitored as it handles increased patient numbers. The clarification comes days after KNH advised patients seeking non-emergency care to consider facilities closer to home amid a sharp rise in patient numbers.

Read briefingDIG Lagat leads fundraising drive to rebuild Utumishi Girls after deadly fire
NAIROBI, Kenya, Aug 29- Deputy Inspector General of Police Eliud Lagat has led a fundraising drive at Utumishi Girls Academy in Gilgil, Nakuru County, aimed at supporting the reconstruction of the school following the deadly dormitory fire that claimed the lives of 16 students. Lagat, who arrived at the academy on Saturday for the fundraising event, is seeking to rally support for the rebuilding of the institution, which serves a significant number of children from police families. The fundraising comes three months after the May 28, 2026 tragedy in which a fire swept through a dormitory at the school shortly after midnight, killing 16 girls and injuring scores of others. The fire affected a dormitory housing about 220 students, with reports indicating that some students were forced to jump from windows as they attempted to escape the flames. At least 79 students were injured in the incident. The tragedy triggered a major national debate on safety in boarding schools, particularly concerns over overcrowding, emergency exits and preparedness for fires. Investigations also raised questions about the circumstances surrounding the blaze, with authorities examining CCTV footage and interviewing students, teachers and other witnesses. The Education Ministry subsequently said that one of the dormitory’s exit doors had been locked, contrary to prescribed safety requirements. The school...

Read briefingTravellers Stuck for Over 15 Hrs as Heavy Traffic Hits Nakuru-Eldoret Highway
Motorists and passengers were stuck for more than 15 hours along the Nakuru-Eldoret Highway after heavy traffic brought movement to a near standstill on the busy route.The congestion was reported from around 9 pm on Friday, August 28, with motorists and passengers still stranded along the Sachangwan-Salgaa stretch by Saturday, August 29.Most of the motorists who found themselves stuck in the gridlock reported traffic moving at a very slow pace, with long queues reported as motorists approached Salgaa from Sachangwan.“I have been stuck in traffic along the Sachangwan-Salgaa stretch since 9 pm with traffic barely moving,” said one of the motorists.The congestion affected travellers using the Nairobi-Nakuru, Nakuru-Eldoret and the Kisumu-Busia routes, with motorists forced to spend several hours on the road.The exact cause of the traffic jam was not immediately established, although ongoing construction works, lane indiscipline and overlapping were reported to have worsened the situation.Attempts by the traffic police to ease the congestion proved futile, as the gridlock escalated, blocking both lanes of the single carriageway.The latest incident comes as construction of the six-lane Rironi-Mau Summit Highway continues, with physical works currently underway on sections of the major project.The Ksh184 billion project is being implemented in phases, with China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC), in partnership with the National Social Security Fund (NSSF), undertaking the first phase.The first phase covers the Rironi-Naivasha-Gilgil section and the route from Rironi through Mai Mahiu to Naivasha, with the works being implemented for Ksh96.1 billion.A second Chinese Company, Shandong Hi-Speed Road and Bridge International, is expected to undertake the second phase from Naivasha towards Mau Summit interchange.The first phase is expected to be completed by June 2027, with the expanded highway expected to reduce travel time, ease persistent traffic congestion and improve connectivity towards Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Read briefingPSC Issues Notice on Promotion of Civil Servants
Civil servants could soon have more opportunities to advance their careers under a proposed Public Service Commission (PSC) policy that introduces multiple progression routes. According to a statement issued by the Commission on Saturday, the Career Management Policy would introduce clearer pathways for promotion, including advancement within a team, movement to another department at the same grade, or taking up a higher-grade position in a different area of the public service.The policy also proposes two career pathways for technical and professional staff, allowing them to either advance into management or continue progressing as specialists and experts.“The proposed policy provides for greater career mobility through vertical, horizontal and diagonal movement. It also introduces dual career paths for technical and professional cadres, allowing highly skilled public officers to progress either through managerial positions or specialist and expert pathways,” the statement read.By creating alternative progression pathways, the proposed system would give public officers greater flexibility in professional development while serving.Commission Chairperson Francis Meja said the policy would strengthen career planning across public institutions. The proposed framework also seeks to better connect career management to other human resource practices within the public service.“Once implemented, the policy is expected to mainstream best practices in human resource management, including career planning, career pathing and career development. It will also strengthen linkages with other human resource practices, prioritise resources for career management and broaden employee development to include coaching and mentorship,” Meja said.Additionally, the PSC said the framework would place greater emphasis on employees’ competencies and performance, an approach recently adopted by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).It would further promote employee development through initiatives such as coaching and mentorship.The commission outlined the proposed changes after a stakeholder feedback workshop and is currently reviewing input gathered during a public participation exercise conducted between June 10 and July 13 as it works towards finalising the policy.Stakeholders are expected to assess the feedback and resolve outstanding issues before the document is completed.
Read briefingMbadi says ‘Yemen’ road in Homa Bay now being tarmacked
NAIROBI, Kenya, Aug 29 – Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has pointed to ongoing road works in Homa Bay as evidence of the Government’s investment in infrastructure in the region, weeks after the condition of roads in Suba North became a major political talking point. Mbadi said the road at the recently popularised “Yemen” junction was now taking shape, following widespread public attention to its poor condition during the Linda Mwananchi movement’s tour of Homa Bay earlier this month. “The recently trended ‘Yemen’ junction coming up nicely,” Mbadi said in a post highlighting the ongoing works. The road became a subject of national debate on August 16 when Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and the Linda Mwananchi caravan were forced to use dusty alternative routes during their tour of Homa Bay after sections of the main roads were blocked. Images and videos of the convoy navigating the rough roads subsequently circulated widely online, prompting the “Homa Bay looks like Yemen” tag and a political debate over the state of infrastructure in the county. The issue quickly evolved into a political contest, with Sifuna using the state of the roads to criticise the Government over what he described as years of neglect, while local leaders defended the region and demanded faster development. Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo rejected attempts to dismiss the roads used by the Linda Mwananch...
Read briefingMOH announces targeted response to El Niño-related health risks
NAIROBI, Kenya Aug 29 – The Ministry of Health has announced a coordinated preparedness plan to mitigate health risks linked to anticipated heavy rains, flooding and displacement during the 2026/2027 El Niño season.Public Health Principal Secretary Mary Muthoni said the Health Sector El Niño Contingency Plan brings together national and county governments, emergency agencies, humanitarian organisations and development partners to anticipate, prevent, detect and respond rapidly to flood-related health emergencies.“The Health Sector El Niño Contingency Plan provides a common framework” for coordinated preparedness and response, Muthoni said.The Ministry is particularly concerned about water- and food-borne diseases, including typhoid, cholera, dysentery, hepatitis A and other diarrhoeal illnesses, which can rise when flooding contaminates water sources and sanitation systems.Muthoni said the Ministry is working with county governments and partners including the Kenya Red Cross Society, National Disaster Operations Centre, National Disaster Management Unit, KEMSA, KEMRI, WHO, UNICEF and other health-sector agencies.Through the National Health Sector El Niño Task Force and emergency operations structures, the partners will support joint planning, rapid assessments, emergency medical services, referral and evacuation, community outreach, risk communication and relief support.The preparedness measures include strengthening disease surveillance and early-warning systems, with county teams supported to investigate alerts and deploy rapid-response teams.The Ministry is also enhancing laboratory capacity and sample-referral networks, while ensuring availability of reagents and rapid diagnostic tests for typhoid, cholera and other priority diseases.Essential medicines, laboratory supplies, infection-prevention materials, nutrition commodities and emergency kits are being quantified, procured, stockpiled and pre-positioned at regional, county and facility levels.The plan also prioritises safe water, sanitation and hygiene through water-quality surveillance, household water-treatment supplies, chlorination and disinfection of contaminated sources, as well as mobile water-treatment units and sanitation facilities.Counties are being supported to strengthen contingency plans, referral networks, ambulance and evacuation arrangements, temporary and mobile clinics, backup power and continuity of essential services.Community Health Promoters and Primary Care Networks will also disseminate early-warning messages, promote household water treatment and food hygiene, identify danger signs and link affected households to care.Muthoni urged people in flood-prone areas to boil or appropriately treat drinking water and store it in clean, covered containers.She also called for regular handwashing with soap and safe water, particularly after using the toilet and before preparing or eating food.The Ministry advised the public to cook food thoroughly, eat it while hot, wash fruits and vegetables with safe water and avoid food exposed to floodwater.Members of the public have also been urged to seek early medical attention for persistent fever, severe headache, abdominal pain, vomiting, profuse watery diarrhoea, blood in stool, unusual weakness or signs of dehydration.The Ministry cautioned against self-medicating with antibiotics and urged the public to follow evacuation and safety instructions while avoiding walking or driving through floodwater.Muthoni said the Ministry would continue monitoring meteorological and epidemiological information, updating risk assessments and supporting counties and partners as the situation evolves.
