14.09.2026 ⇢ The Day Ruto Camped in Kisumu
⌨
President William Ruto dominated coverage on the second day of his Nyanza tour, commissioning the Ksh8.4B Lake Victoria water project in Kisumu to warm reception, joined by Raila Junior, unveiling Ksh700B in projects and floating renaming Kisumu Airport for Raila Odinga while pledging to uphold Raila's philosophy amid UDA-ODM zoning friction flagged by Governor Arati.
Linda Mwananchi stayed in view, with talk of Sifuna-Orengo talks on a single 2027 flagbearer, claims Sifuna would beat Orengo and would soon declare, and a split between Raila's family and ODM over first-anniversary plans.
After Embu and Garissa violence, police said they would map 2027 hotspots as the government denied selective justice.
A court barred Standard Group from linking Charlene Ruto to the Ksh2.8B police uniform tender, while EPRA left fuel prices unchanged and five died in a Gilgil crash.
