OPINION: On Friday, at Gilgil Stadium, Kenya stood before sixteen empty places, facing questions too heavy for microphones.
The prayers rose, songs trembled, leaders stood with families and First Lady Rachel Ruto joined a nation in silence. Yet somewhere in that silence, every parent could hear the whisper: these were not numbers; these were daughters who had been sent to school with uniforms, pocket money, instructions, and dreams, only to return to their families in a way no home should ever receive a child.

OPINION: The most dangerous thing a court can lose is not a case. It is public confidence. Courts derive authority neither from guns nor from votes. Their power comes from trust. Citizens obey court orders because they believe judges are impartial arbiters who apply the law consistently, fairly and without fear or favour. Once confidence erodes, democracy enters dangerous territory.

President William Ruto is trudging back to the campaign trail with renewed vigour after successfully incorporating his re-election bid into the country’s multi-trillion budget.
It was a budget many had hoped would be the masterstroke to change the fortunes of an already choking economy and ease the burden off the shoulders of Kenyans.

Sports Kenya has maintained that Eldoret’s Kipchoge Keino Stadium, which has been under construction for over decade, will remain an alternative venue for 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) to be co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania next June and July.
According to the agency, the sports facility, whose construction is at 45 percent, will either serve as an alternative or a training venue during the 2027 extravaganza.

EDITORIAL: Friday’s burial of the 15 Utumishi Girls Academy students who tragically lost their lives in a dormitory fire should have been a moment of collective mourning, reflection and solidarity.
It was a time for grieving families to receive comfort, for a nation to stand with parents whose dreams were shattered, and for leaders to offer hope and practical solutions to prevent such tragedies from recurring.

Four years after pledging to transform education, the sector remains trapped in a cycle of policy experimentation, funding shortfalls and unfulfilled commitments.
On Thursday, as Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi delivered what could be President William Ruto’s first term and final budget in charge of government finances, the reality fell far short of the promises made.

Shocking details have emerged about the state of medical and dental training in the country after a regional audit found that only three of 13 inspected institutions met the standards required to train future doctors and dentists.
The new report by the East African Community (EAC) found the two major institutions offering medicine and dental training Moi and University of Nairobi had not met the required qualifications to host the program recommending a review of the standards.

It was a profoundly heartbreaking day in various villages in three counties, as remains of some of the victims of the Utumishi Girls Senior School dormitory fire were laid to rest.
A heavy, suffocating silence fell over Nakuru In Lanet, yesterday as families laid to rest victims of the May 28 tragedy.
What were intended as private family burials became collective expressions of grief, uniting the stories of brilliant young lives cut short and a mother who made the ultimate sacrifice while rushing to her daughter’s aid.

In what could be either panic or political intolerance, President William Ruto dashed to Kakamega yesterday to launch a Sacco, when his united opposition rivals were scheduled to hold a mega rally in the town.
Having been away in Europe since last week, the president jetted back and barely 24 hours later went to launch the Sacco, making it difficult for the opposition to have their meeting because hundreds of heavily armed General Service Unit Police officers had barricaded the town.

Antisocial behaviour’s pretty normal in young kids, but a toddler shouldn’t have lots of hard-to-stop aggressive outbursts or refuse to follow your instructions. Toddlers should also want to be close to you, especially when you’re somewhere strange, so worry if yours don’t.

Though intimacy is commonly linked to romantic relationships, it typically takes root much earlier in life.
Psychologist Hellen Staula explains that the earliest lessons about intimacy are usually learned at home. Parents teach children how to understand emotions, build trust, feel safe and form close bonds.
