The first book I ever read by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o was The River Between—Waiyaki’s struggle to unite Kameno and Makuyu reminded me of the challenge of bridging Gen Z and older generations today. I’m deeply saddened by the passing of this literary giant whose words shaped African

As the Senator of Migori County, I find the death of Albert Ojwang not only tragic but absolutely intolerable. It is an incident that has shaken the conscience of our people and cast a dark cloud over law enforcement conduct. The circumstances surrounding Albert’s death raise

While the interdiction of the officers on duty is a necessary first step, it is not enough. The people of Migori, the. People of Homabay and the people of Kenya demand more than symbolic action. we demand the truth today. Not tomorrow. The killers of Albert Ojwang must be

On this, we will not relent until we get individual responsibility on who killed our brother Ojwang’. No more killing of youths or any other citizens. The Senate must demand for all security heads to appear in Senate this week!

Mediation on revenue sharing between national government and counties stalemate continues. We insist allocations made to national ministerial department and agencies on devolved functions must be given to counties. Nothing less of 450B

To the Kenya Police: the country looks to you for protection, not fear. Upholding the law requires discipline, fairness, and humanity. The use of force against innocent citizens erodes trust and fractures the very society you are sworn to safeguard. Kenya deserves better—

Bwana SG umerealize this very late. Standard stopped to be media house kitambo. They chose to be a political player akin to a political party. So when they violate your rights with defamatory statements, deal with them as we would with the likes of DCP & other petty small parties

Hi Faith Kipyegon, EGH🇰🇪 Tonight, you ran your best time yet! You still hold the record for the fastest women's mile in history. On May 17, 2017, Eliud Kipchoge made his first attempt to break the two-hour marathon barrier in Monza, Italy. He missed it by just 24 seconds. That

We must equalize Kenya. As Chair of Senate Transport, Roads and Housing, my committee’s visit to Marsabit County shows a big divide in infrastructure between this region and others down south. Smaller communities still have no semblance of government apart from devolution impact

Ndirangui Kinyagia has just put an entire generation of young people at risk of the “boy who cried wolf” scenario. He essentially staged his own abduction to make the government look bad — to the extent of becoming the face of The Standard newspaper today. Whoever influenced or
