The WHO has raised the Ebola risk in eastern DR Congo to very high. The Bundibugyo strain, with a 30–50% fatality rate and no approved vaccine, has spread from Ituri into other provinces and into neighbouring Uganda.

Bwana Waziri Mkuu, some of the flooding in Nairobi is not just about heavy rains it’s pure negligence by the agencies responsible.

Take Outering Road between Mutindwa and Donholm. The drainage system is completely blocked with debris and waste from nearby traders, turning a simple maintenance issue into a flooding crisis.

I have repeatedly raised this with @KURAroads, @MuriraKinoti, @davis_chirchir and @SakajaJohnson , but nothing has been done. This is not a complex engineering problem it’s basic drainage clearing and enforcement.

When institutions fail to do the simple things, infrastructure worth billions of shillings is left vulnerable to avoidable damage.

Before the next heavy rains cause serious destruction, I urge the Ministry to deploy NYS teams immediately to clear the drainage along Outering Road and restore proper water flow.

Nairobi does not lack solutions it lacks urgency and accountability.

RIVERS OVERFLOW IN KARURA FOREST
Due to the ongoing heavy rainfalls, rivers flowing through Karura forest have burst their banks. As a result, paths leading to the caves, waterfalls, bridges and Ruaka picnic site have been closed off. No member of the public is allowed to get into that area, until further notice. The public is advised to exercise caution and report to the Foresters office for any concerns.

Drought conditions continue to worsen, leaving nearly 2 million people facing acute food insecurity.

Water shortages, rising malnutrition and long treks to remaining water sources are putting immense strain on families across affected counties.

Kenya Red Cross teams are responding with relief support, cash assistance and early action measures, but more support is needed as conditions evolve.

If our leaders could advise police not to carry weapons. If our leaders opted to leave their goons out of this. If our leaders purposed to obey the constitution. Imagine the protests would be peaceful. No property damage and streets cleared by 3pm. But what is impunity?#June25th

Again...why are police being armed to the teeth to kill unarmed, peaceful, citizens? Kwani kazi ya katiba ni gani? Beyond shameless, beyond being inhumane.

It's how he casually shot him in the head and continued walking like he has not just ended an unarmed man's life. It's so wrong for a state to give police this much immunity.

Authorities have confirmed that the pedestrian who died after being struck by a vehicle within President William Ruto’s motorcade on March 13 was Edgar Charles Frederick, a 75-year-old British national who was widely known in the area for his interactions with traders and his longstanding support for vulnerable residents.

The incident took place near Adams Arcade along Ngong Road as the presidential convoy moved through the city during what marked the fourth day of Ruto’s tour focused on urban development, with those present at the scene describing a fast-moving motorcade that did not come to a halt following the impact.

In an official statement on Thursday, National Police Service Spokesperson Michael Muchiri indicated that the body of the deceased had been transported to Lee Funeral Home, where post-mortem examinations and further inquiries would be conducted as part of the broader process to establish responsibility for the fatal collision.

According to Muchiri, the vehicle believed to have been involved has undergone a formal inspection, while the driver, who is attached to the office of the Nairobi Regional Coordinator, has been granted temporary release on cash bail as legal procedures continue, with an appearance in court expected at a later stage.

Eyewitnesses reported that Frederick was making his way to a nearby mosque for prayers at the time of the accident, a routine that many in the neighbourhood were familiar with, as he was known for assisting destitute families by providing them with meals and financial aid, a fact confirmed by several traders and residents who recalled his generosity.

One woman who had interacted with him only a day before the incident described how she had been able to purchase meals for her family using money he had handed her, a testament to his longstanding role in supporting those struggling with hardship along Ngong Road.

Multiple people who were present when the accident occurred stated that at least two vehicles within the convoy were travelling at high speed when one struck the elderly pedestrian, with another vehicle in the procession running over him moments later, causing instant death as horrified bystanders watched.

Video clips that surfaced online shortly after the tragedy captured the urgency of the moment, with members of the public reacting in shock as the motorcade moved forward without stopping, while further recordings taken moments later depicted a gathering crowd expressing dismay at the unfolding scene.

Honestly, what idiocy is this? Mathematics is the one subject that everyone can use to transform an idea into a profitable business. There are other subjects that can be made optional until senior school or university. Like physical education. Have you seen that content?

When Charles Wambua, a local diver from Kware, was approached by Peris Keya—a woman claiming that her sister Josephine had appeared to her in a dream and revealed that she was at the Kware dumpsite—he could not have imagined the horror that awaited him. What he uncovered were mutilated, decomposing bodies of women, all stuffed into sacks tied with identical ribbons. #JusticeOnHold

Why do we have a constitution, if we are not going to abide by it.
Our current government is spitting at its citizens. We voted for the constitution,. Are you saying our voice doesn't matter?
What's its purpose if we can blatantly disregard it? For shame!!

[Harry Karanja, DTM @harrykaranja]

If the High Court is now saying that the Deputy President's office can never be vacant, does it mean that the framers of the Constitution were high when they anticipated these 74 days of vacancy?
