Nairobi City deserves modern infrastructure that matches and supports its rapid transformation into a vibrant, inclusive urban economy.
Against this backdrop, the State Department for Housing and Urban Development is overseeing the ongoing construction of the South B Modern Market in Nairobi City County, a project designed to enhance trade, dignity of work and urban order.
The market is taking shape as a multi-storey facility that will host a total of 1,050 traders. The ground floor will accommodate grocery vendors, the first floor will serve mtumba traders, the upper stall levels will provide additional trading space, while the top floor will house restaurants, creating a commercial hub that operates around the clock.
Importantly, the project is already delivering tangible socio-economic benefits. Construction runs 24 hours a day, engaging 53 workers during the day and 81 at night, with a strong representation of youth and women.
Currently, casting works have brought the onsite workforce to about 450 people, including supervisors.
This continuous activity is creating direct employment and stimulating opportunities across the building and construction value chain, positively impacting city dwellers even before the market opens its doors. #DeliveringThePlan
So where exactly did this theory about Oketch Salah and Haji come from?
For clarity, he is not related to the NIS Director. That story is inaccurate, imaginative, and clearly designed for social-media excitement rather than facts.
Other than being a close ally of Baba, Mr. Oketch Salah’s family is well known in Migori, where they have been in the bread-baking and distribution business since the 1970s.
Any attempt to manufacture fictitious associations is therefore baseless and irresponsible.
Seven years ago, Kikuyus were unbothered by the atrocities being committed against the Luo community. As long as it was Luo's lives being affected, they remained silent or worse, justified it. Right now they're with the #WereAllKikuyus coz it's them. Bwana what changed?
We must build a police service grounded in justice, dignity and the sanctity of life, so that never again shall we find ourselves mourning such avoidable loss as a nation.
This heartbreaking incident is a sobering call to all of us. It demands that we urgently reinforce our policies, oversight and standards of conduct in policing.
For the people of Kenya and the State Department for Internal Security, there is only one position on the tragic death of Mr. Albert Ojwang', a young, hopeful father, husband, teacher and son; it should never have happened.

The Kenya Kwanza Administration is making history today, as it is Delivering Houses in where dignified homes have been a dream. The scenes being witnessed at the #MukuruHandover are aimed at ensuring every Kenyan from all walks of life lives in dignity and respect, regardless of their income or their political affiliation.
Slum upgrading has always felt like a long con. Empty promises, endless delays. But under President Ruto, it’s taken less than two years to deliver real results. Mukuru is proof. From mud structures to modern homes. This is what inclusive development looks like. #KenyaRising
Over 13,000 tenants in Mukuru are receiving keys to new homes today under President William Ruto’s Affordable Housing Programme. This is more than just shelter, it's dignity, jobs, and money flowing to hustlers. Bottom-Up is not theory. It’s transformation in real time.
