01.05.2026 ⇢ The Day Ruto Raised Wages by 12%
⌨
Labour Day dominated coverage, with President Ruto announcing a 12% minimum wage increase for general workers and 15% for agricultural workers during celebrations in Vihiga, the first time the event was held outside Nairobi. The wage hike fell short of union demands, drawing criticism from COTU's Atwoli. Earlier in the day, flash floods paralyzed Nairobi's Mombasa Road, prompting the Nairobi Expressway to suspend tolls. The Treasury proposed a Ksh4.82 trillion budget for 2026/27 and moved to cut fuel levy allocations. Other developments included the Supreme Court suspending a ruling on TSC internships, Purity Ngirici's ouster from Kenya Seed Company after leaving UDA, and the death of veteran gynaecologist Dr. Job Obwaka.
