The loss of Rachael Wandeto, a young woman whose only fault was believing in the Kenyan dream, must not be in vain. Her memory should deepen our resolve to stand for unity, demand justice and firmly reject both the perpetrators of this heinous act and those who continue to peddle divisive politics— CS @HonAdenDuale

WAJIR – Sixty-two years after independence, Wajir is finally on the brink of possessing its first modern stadium, marking a transformative leap for the North Eastern Region. With construction now at 84% completion, the ultra-modern Wajir Stadium is being fast-tracked for unveiling during the June 1 Madaraka Day celebrations, fulfilling a decades-old dream for local residents who have long relied on dusty open fields.

Interior Principal Secretary @ray_omollo hailed the project as a testament to President @WilliamsRuto commitment to equitable development. “Since independence, Wajir has never had a stadium, relying instead on open, undeveloped grounds such as Wajir Baraza Park,” Omollo stated. “Under the leadership of H.E. President William Samoei Ruto, the town is witnessing a transformative shift.”

The 10,000-seater facility, managed by the Ministry of Defence through the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), features a full-sized football pitch prepared for artificial turf, a standard eight-lane running track, modern changing rooms, VIP lounges, and extensive terrace seating where installation is already underway. Additional amenities include ample parking space and a borehole guaranteeing reliable water supply.

The State Department for Internal Security and National Administration is coordinating a multi-agency team to ensure the project meets the highest standards and is completed in time for national rehearsals. Beyond Madaraka Day, the department will maintain security and management of the complex, preserving it as a safe public asset.

This landmark investment promises far-reaching benefits. It will provide a professional platform for local athletic talent to flourish, boost small businesses through event-related commerce, and strengthen social cohesion by hosting community gatherings, sports tournaments, and national events. For a region often underserved in infrastructure, the stadium represents not just concrete and steel, but renewed hope and inclusion.

As finishing touches continue at breakneck speed, excitement is building across Wajir. What was once an aspiration is now becoming reality—proof that even long-neglected areas can experience rapid, meaningful progress when national priorities align with local needs.

Police will use any necessary means to make sure that there is order, and we will use any necessary force as provided in the law to deal with any unlawful assembly and restore order. Although matatus allegedly say they were pursuing grievances, they are not pursuing their grievances through any lawful action. It was not a protest; it was a riot, and with the intention to loot— Regional Police Commander Nairobi, Issa Mohamud #RejectFuelPrices

The Matatu strike is completely uncalled for.Why are we trying to solve a global problem using domestic means? We have not caused US-Iran war— CS John Mbadi #MatatuStrike #RejectFuelPrices

[Parrot Times @ParrotTimes]

MP Shollei: I appeal to the matatu sector and the wider public transport industry to adjust fares fairly and proportionately to reflect the actual increase in fuel costs, without taking advantage of passengers. Yes, fuel prices have risen, and yes, transport costs will increase. #MatatuStrike #RejectFuelPrices

[Parrot Times @ParrotTimes]

MP Gladys Shollei: On the issue of fuel, it is largely not the President's problem; it is Parliament's, and we are the ones to do something about it, because we are the ones who passed those duties and taxes. It's our responsibility, and we should take full responsibility. #RejectFuelPrices #MatatuStrike

[Parrot Times @ParrotTimes]

We have woken up to a difficult morning with thousands of Nairobians stranded following the matatu strike caused by the sharp fuel price increase. I understand the frustration from matatu operators, but I also feel for the ordinary Kenyans now struggling just to get to school, or hustle for daily bread— Sen. Karen Nyamu #RejectFuelPrices #MatatuStrike
