David Maraga: I have never been associated with any corruption scandal. I am ready to declare on oath, my assets and give a full account of how I acquired each piece. I challenge every presidential aspirant, starting with Ruto, to do the same and account for everything they own.

Fresh concern is mounting over controversial Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Chivayo’s company, IMC Construction Kenya, which has secured a stake in the Sh375 billion tender to expand Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. @thejesserogers #KTNPrime

Algoney Hamdan Dagalo, linked to the Sudan killings, and Wicknell Chivayo of Zimbabwe, a corruption suspect, are among the guests reported to have obtained Kenyan passports through inexplicable means — and this raises major concerns about the oversight of issuing those identification documents. #Checkpoint

England have been victims of a theft of their training equipment, after vehicles transferring kit to their Kansas City training base were broken into.

(16/24) That is why the supplier debt is so important. By the time the company was being analysed, trade creditors had the biggest claim. KSh18.6B. That was 51.9% of total creditor claims. Half the creditor problem was suppliers. The people filling the shelves were funding the empire.

(8/24) Public records do not prove that Charterhouse gave Nakumatt an “unlimited money button.” But they prove enough to ask harder questions. A small bank, deeply embedded inside a huge retailer. Common shareholding. Branches inside stores. Regulatory problems. Money-laundering and tax-evasion allegations raised publicly. That is not proof of everything alleged. But it is enough to ask why the warning signs were not treated more seriously.

Three protesters shot dead in Nanyuki. Students shot inside their own hostel at Multimedia University. Hooded, unidentifiable officers firing live rounds on unarmed Kenyans. This is not law enforcement. This is the constitution being violated in broad daylight. As we approach the 2nd anniversary of June 25, we must refuse to normalise what we are witnessing. Accountability is not optional. It is what justice looks like in practice. Here is my statement on the current pattern of violence by the Police:

The reported award of a Ksh. 375 Billion contract to China Communications Construction Company for the expansion and modernization of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport is a massive infrastructure undertaking that must be subjected to the highest standards of transparency and value for money. Modernizing our critical aviation hub is essential for economic growth, but the proposed funding model of relying heavily on commercial loans backed by the Air Passenger Service Levy risks placing an unfair burden on Kenyan travelers and airlines. This levy must not become a hidden financial tool that inflates the cost of flying without delivering clear benefits to ordinary citizens. The Law Society of Kenya calls for full public disclosure of the contract terms and procurement process to ensure absolute compliance with the Constitution and public procurement laws. We demand rigorous oversight to guarantee local content participation for Kenyan firms, alongside independent verification that this massive project delivers genuine value given the country’s debt sustainability concerns. Large scale infrastructure projects must serve the public interest and uphold the public finance principles under Article 201 of the Constitution. The @LawSocietyofKe will monitor this development closely and stands ready to take swift legal action on any constitutional violations that arise.
