10.09.2026 ⇢ The day Oburu Oginga flew to London
⌨
Editors moved on from Ruto's 90-day ultimatum to foreigners, following up only with clarifications on Class R permits for EAC nationals, Mudavadi's call for Kenyans abroad to obey host laws, and Kalonzo's claim Burundians were targeted over opposition links.
ODM dominated midday coverage as Oburu Oginga travelled to Britain for a medical check-up, saying the party could run without him as Arati and Abdulswamad took charge, while the party announced October as 'Mwezi wa Baba' to honour Raila Odinga.
Senate business drew attention when Okiya Omtatah was ejected and suspended for three days for refusing to apologise over remarks about Ruto, amid exchanges between Ruto, Kindiki and Gachagua and Sifuna's meeting with Kalonzo.
The High Court halted the IEBC ballot-printing tender, while KUCCPS withheld student lists over unpaid fees and a protected witness in the Albert Ojwang case died before testifying.

⌨The newspapers turn to the fallout from President Ruto's directive ordering foreigners living illegally to leave, displacing earlier focus on rains and the nurses' strike (Citizen, Kenyans). Citizen criticises roadside declarations for fuelling confusion, citing Burundian nationals camping at their High Commission for clarity. Kenyans reports Uganda has issued guidance to its citizens in Kenya in response to the ultimatum.
