06.02.2026 ⇢ The Day the NG-CDF Act was Reinstated
⌨Morning editorial priority was dominated by fiscal and security failures, specifically the discovery of a secret Sh151 million Nairobi County account and the High Court's order for the Inspector General to produce a missing businessman. This domestic focus was briefly interrupted by reports of three more Kenyan mercenaries killed in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, a developing story of human cost following similar reports on February 3rd.
By midday, the legal landscape shifted as the Court of Appeal overturned a High Court ruling, reinstating the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). This development provided a major victory for Parliament and redirected the narrative toward legislative power. Simultaneously, the rupture in the opposition coalition deepened following the official gazetting of Oburu Oginga as ODM leader. Editors tracked an escalating public feud as Oginga rebuked Edwin Sifuna, signaling the formal collapse of the Azimio unified front after the previous day's rejection of Uhuru Kenyatta’s leadership changes.
