Read briefing In a shocking move, the Senegalese Football Federation shifted the national team’s AFCON 2027 home qualifying match to Mozambique. According to the FSF statement, it has asked Mozambique to host their Group J opening match on the 25th of this month, a fixture initially pencilled for Dakar. The federation says it has no venue following the closure of the Léopold Sedar Senghor for renovation while their 2nd home venue, the Abdoulaye Waye stadium, will be used for the Youth Olympics. In the whole scenario, the FSF was caught asleep as it only realised the state of their home venues two weeks before the match. The federation has notified CAF of the same,a move that gives Mozambique an upper hand as they will host the Teranga Lions twice in Maputo in their Group J qualifiers.

Panther will participate in the marathon in a first-of-its-kind professional racing wheelchair seeking to raise funds to acquire at least 200 custom-fitted pediatric wheelchairs for children living with disability.

As a Champion for Mobility, I hope to impact the lives of our children by giving them access to an education, health care and a glimpse into friendships with their peers.

Regina Mukiri, Head of Community Engagement and Impact, Kenya and Africa at Standard Chartered said, “Sport should be open to everyone. Through...
Read briefing ODM Party Leader Oburu Oginga is in the United Kingdom (UK) for a routine medical checkup. In a statement, Oginga said the visit will allow him to undergo a comprehensive evaluation of his health while taking time to rest and rejuvenate, following advice from his doctors and party leadership. He described the medical break as a deliberate period for the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) to assess its institutional strength and ability to operate effectively in the absence of its party leader. Oginga expressed confidence in the party’s internal mechanisms and structures to sustain its day-to-day operations without interruption. “As I attend to these personal health routine checks, that naturally come with advancing years, I view taking this step back as a deliberate, strategic moment for our movement. This is a time of transition, where the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) is being tested on its readiness and preparedness on institutionalism,” he stated. During his absence, Deputy Party Leaders Paul Simba Arati and Abdulswamad Shariff Nassir, alongside the National Central Committee and the party secretariat, will steer the party’s operations. “As an elder who has walked this long journey with you, I have absolute faith in their collective leadership, discipline, and vision to steer our movement effectively,” Oginga said.

Read briefing Major investment reforms have positioned Kenya as a strategic hub for Africa’s 1.4 billion people, President William Ruto has said. The President said Kenya has deliberately moved from policy to implementation in its efforts to improve the business environment, strengthen investor confidence and attract capital. He made the remarks when he addressed the fifth American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) Business Summit in Nairobi on Wednesday. The summit, whose theme is “Advancing Mutual Prosperity Through Trade and Investment”, brought together investors and delegates from more than 30 countries. President Ruto pointed out that more than 50 business-enabling reforms have been undertaken over the past three years, many directly responding to concerns raised by investors. Recalling commitments he made at the 2023 AmCham Summit, the President explained that the Government has delivered on several of the pledges. “I said we would remove VAT on exported services. We did. I said verified tax refunds would be paid within six months or become available for offset. That is now law,” he said. He added: “I said we would end the premature taxation of shares allocated to start-up employees. We did. And I said we would remove 30 per cent local equity requirement deterring major technology firms. We removed it.” He noted that other reforms include reduced local ownership requirements for pension sc...
Read briefing Ukambani political parties will not dissolve to join Wiper, National Liberal Party (NLP) leader Dr. Augustus Kyalo Muli has said. Dr. Muli was reacting to the recent exchange between Mike Sonko, leader of the National Economic and Development Party (NEDP), and Hon. Urbanus Kyalo Wambua of Wiper Party. According to Dr. Muli, the exchange exposed what he termed a dangerous attitude in Ukambani politics that any leader who refuses to fold his party into Wiper and support Kalonzo Musyoka must be working for President William Ruto. “Since when did having your own political party become an act of betrayal? Since when did supporting Kalonzo become a test of Kamba patriotism? And since when did disagreeing with Wiper automatically make someone a State House project?” Dr. Muli posed. He said Ukambani does not belong to Wiper but to its people, and that Kamba leaders have a democratic right to support Ruto, Kalonzo, Matiang’i, any other candidate, or to build their own parties and negotiate independently. “That is democracy. What is not democracy is telling people: ‘Fold your party and support Kalonzo or you are our enemy.’ That is not unity. That is political intimidation,” he said. Dr. Muli defended engagement with President William Ruto, saying there is nothing wrong with working with the sitting President if it delivers development. “What is wrong with working with William Ruto anywa...

Read briefing Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs Musalia Mudavadi has called on African countries to deepen cooperation in aviation and accelerate the implementation of the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM) to improve connectivity and drive economic growth. Mudavadi said Africa could not fully realise its economic potential while air travel between neighbouring countries remained costly, slow and dependent on transit points outside the continent. Speaking on Wednesday during the 10th Aviation Africa Summit and Exhibition at the Sarit Expo Centre in Nairobi, Mudavadi said better air connectivity was critical to Africa’s economic transformation and regional integration. “Aviation is not just a means of transportation. It is an enabler of trade, tourism, investment, healthcare, education, humanitarian assistance and cultural exchange,” he said. “It connects people, markets and opportunities. For Africa, a continent of immense geographical diversity and enormous economic potential, aviation is a strategic necessity.” The summit brought together policymakers, regulators, aviation industry leaders, investors, innovators, development partners and other professionals to discuss challenges and opportunities facing the continent’s aviation sector. Mudavadi welcomed delegates to Nairobi, describing the city as a regional financial, logistics and dip...
Read briefing National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has challenged women to take a more active role in politics and contest elective positions in the 2027 General Election instead of limiting themselves to supporting the ambitions of male politicians. Speaker Wetang’ula said increased participation of women in elective politics was critical to improving their representation in decision-making at both county and national levels. “Women should not only be voters and supporters of other people’s political ambitions.

Read briefing Kenya has called for stronger international cooperation to tackle the growing global drug problem, including the rising threat of synthetic drugs. Speaking at the 33rd Meeting of Heads of National Law Enforcement Agencies (HONLEA) in Vienna, Kenya’s Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Vienna, Edwin Afande, said combating narcotics remains a common and shared responsibility of all UN member states. Afande, who is also Chair of the Africa Group, expressed concern over disparities in access to controlled substances for medical purposes and the growing threat posed by synthetic drugs. He noted that drug trafficking is increasingly linked to corruption, illicit financial flows and terrorism, requiring stronger regional and international cooperation. Afande also called on the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) to support member states in preventing, detecting and responding to substandard and falsified medical products, which he said pose a serious threat to public health and socio-economic development in Africa. He urged the international community to remove barriers to equitable access to controlled substances for medical and scientific purposes, particularly for pain relief and palliative care.

Read briefing The National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOC-K) has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the national women’s volleyball team, the Malkia Strikers, in their bid to qualify for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. NOC-K President Shadrack Maluki said the committee will provide the necessary support to help the team navigate the Olympic qualification pathway and secure a place at the Games.

Read briefing Kenya is considering a new legal framework to register and disclose foreign agents, lobbyists and foreign-funded activities. Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi said the move would strengthen transparency and protect the country’s national interests. Speaking in Nairobi at the Fifth Nairobi Caucus on Protecting Critical Infrastructure Systems and Public Spaces, Mudavadi said the proposed framework would enable Kenya to better understand and monitor foreign influence while ensuring legitimate international partnerships and cooperation remain protected. “Ultimately, a nation that understands the foreign forces shaping its decisions is a nation that safeguards its sovereignty,” Mudavadi said. The announcement came as the Prime Cabinet Secretary warned that terrorism was evolving beyond attacks on conventional security targets to increasingly sophisticated assaults on telecommunications, transport, energy, digital systems, public spaces and other infrastructure critical to national survival. Mudavadi said Africa had become the global epicentre of terrorism, with the Horn of Africa facing particularly acute risks. He warned that the convergence of violent extremism, prolonged conflicts, weakening state institutions and geopolitical instability could further worsen the security situation in the region. Election rallies could become terror targets With Kenya moving towards the 20...

Read briefing Over 11,000 pharmaceutical technologists have threatened to down tools in protest against new guidelines that would bar them from practising in Level Three to six health facilities. Under the new guidelines adopted by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board, only practitioners with degree-level qualifications, will be allowed to administer medicines in the mentioned facilities, while diploma-level holders will manage dispensaries. Kenya Pharmaceutical Association Chairman, Chitechi Amboka, termed the guidelines contained in the Good Pharmacy Practice Standards, discriminatory, saying the rules strip qualified diploma-holders of the right to handle essential medicines. Amboka said pharmaceutical technologists constitute over 70 per cent of all healthcare practitioners and play a crucial role in the day-to-day running of healthcare operations. He said the new draft guidelines, expected to take effect in January next year, risk causing a collapse of the healthcare system at a time when the government is implementing Universal Health Coverage (UHC). “The new guidelines adopted by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board will bar over 11,000 of our members from handling medicines across 3,569 public facilities, retaining those functions for degree holders only,” said Amboka, stressing, “We hereby reject this in totality.” Addressing the media in Naivasha, Amboka said the Association would hold a prote...

Read briefing Six developers and caretakers have been arrested in Syokimau for illegally discharging untreated sewage and wastewater into the environment in a major enforcement operation targeting public health violations. The suspects were apprehended during an impromptu crackdown conducted by the Machakos County Enforcement team drawn from the Department of Lands, Housing, Urban Development and Roads.
