15.06.2026 ⇢ The Day of the ID Bazaar and the Iran-US Ceasefire
⌨
Editors split focus between a domestic scandal and a foreign policy breakthrough. Morning headlines exposed how foreigners obtained Kenyan IDs and passports for Sh15,000 during Matiang'i's tenure, with MP Koech alleging systemic illegality. Simultaneously, the Iran-US ceasefire dominated international coverage, with Trump heralding the deal and Kenya anticipating fuel price cuts after the Strait of Hormuz reopening. By midday, attention shifted to Ruto signing the Division of Revenue Bill (Sh428bn for counties) and protest compensation starting next week. Afternoon saw Israel reverse its Ebola travel ban on Kenya after government protest, while Kang'ata's opposition rally appearance signaled Mt Kenya political realignment. The day wove corruption, diplomacy, and fiscal policy into a single editorial arc.
