How Two Treasury Officials Illegally Took Ksh39 Million and Were Ordered to Return It A serious corruption case has rocked the National Treasury after the High Court ordered two officials to return Ksh39.1 million that they illegally obtained through unauthorised allowances and benefits. The two officials took advantage of outdated and cancelled government circulars to claim extra money.

They provide official instructions on the approval and limitations of payments to public servants. However,…

The Kenyan government has unveiled plans to shift all radio broadcasting from traditional FM and AM frequencies to modern digital platforms. This major transformation is being prepared by the Communications Authority of Kenya (CAK), which is expected to implement the changes soon. In a statement issued on Thursday, June 6, the Ministry of Information, Communication, and the Digital Economy explained that the decision to move to digital systems is driven by the growing shortage of available FM frequencies. Unlike FM and AM radio, digital broadcasting does not face these frequency limitations and offers a far more flexible and expandable solution.…

The High Court of Kenya has temporarily stopped the National Assembly from forwarding a proposed constitutional amendment bill to the President for approval. The decision effectively pauses the legislative process at a critical stage, halting any chance of the bill being signed into law until the court fully hears and decides on the matter. The ruling was issued by Justice Lawrence Mugambi, who stated that although Parliament is allowed to debate and even send the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2025 to the Senate, it cannot go any further — particularly not to the President for assent. This injunction follows…

President William Ruto has ordered all county governors to make sure that every public health facility within their counties is registered under the Social Health Authority (SHA). The president gave this directive during a meeting with county leaders on Thursday, June 5, highlighting that registration is vital for these facilities to receive timely reimbursements from the government’s new health insurance scheme. According to President Ruto, many public hospitals have not yet been registered, making it difficult for citizens to fully benefit from the government-backed medical coverage. He stressed that private health facilities have already registered in large numbers, while public…

Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has strongly condemned Members of Parliament (MPs) for rejecting a Senate proposal that sought to increase the allocation to counties by an additional Ksh60 billion. He warned that the move threatens the future of devolution in Kenya and undermines efforts to empower local governments. On June 3, the National Assembly dismissed the amendment proposed by the Senate, which aimed to raise the county allocation from Ksh405 billion to Ksh465 billion. MPs cited the country’s tough economic situation as the reason for turning down the proposed increase. However, Senator Cherargei expressed disappointment with this decision, stating that…

Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has scored a major legal victory after the High Court issued temporary orders stopping his ongoing criminal case until a final decision is made on his petition challenging the charges brought against him. Justice Bahati Mwamuye, who delivered the ruling, ordered that all criminal proceedings against the governor be suspended, giving Natembeya breathing space as the court hears and determines his petition. The governor is facing allegations related to procurement irregularities and abuse of office, which were brought forward by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). In the petition, Natembeya argues that his constitutional rights…
