14.02.2026 ⇢ The Day of the EPRA Fuel Price Drop
⌨
Morning editorial coverage centered on a significant political shift as former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua met with Oburu Oginga, signaling a potential alliance between Mt. Kenya and the Odinga family. This occurred as the media scrutinized President Ruto’s personal security following multiple breaches. By midday, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) dominated the headlines by announcing a reduction in fuel prices for the February-March cycle, a move immediately framed by editors as essential economic relief for households. Simultaneously, the internal power struggle within the ODM intensified as Mama Ida Odinga publicly defended Edwin Sifuna’s position as Secretary General, countering the previous day's ouster attempts. The evening transitioned to regional diplomacy and judicial logistics. President Ruto advocated for a Sh128.8 billion African Union peace fund, while the Judiciary moved Thika Environment and Land Court hearings online due to health hazards at the physical site. Editorial attention also noted Cabinet Secretary Kindiki’s dismissal of ODM’s claims to the Deputy Presidency.
