13.06.2026 ⇢ The Day of Konchellah's Death and the Ebola Travel Bans
⌨
The death of former Kilgoris MP Gideon Konchellah dominated the morning, with multiple outlets reporting his cardiac arrest. By mid-morning, editors shifted to Israel's ban on Kenyan travelers amid an Ebola outbreak in eastern DRC, a story that recurred throughout the day. The Gachagua impeachment saga resurfaced with his lawyers questioning 64 missing pages in the ruling. Afternoon coverage included the storming of All Saints Cathedral by goons, captured on CCTV. In the evening, Trump's Iran deal announcement and the US-Iran breakthrough competed with local Ebola preparedness updates. The day wove together a political obituary, a public health crisis, and ongoing legal drama.
