24.04.2026 ⇢ The Day the Fuel Scandal Re-emerged
⌨
The day's dominant story was the re-emergence of a fuel scandal, with Standard Media and others reporting how flagged substandard fuel worth Sh8 billion entered the pipeline. This was covered repeatedly throughout the day, with multiple outlets detailing the scheme. By early afternoon, political corruption allegations continued with Ichung'wah claiming Ksh.5M from Gachagua, and Tuju alleging a plot against his life. Later, the focus shifted to political realignment: ODM-UDA tensions persisted, with Orengo declaring himself 'people's party leader' and Oburu telling him off. In the evening, Matiang'i vowed no 'goon nonsense' if elected, and Gachagua urged teachers to reject SHA cover. The fuel scandal, however, remained the most consistently covered story across sources.
