24.12.2025 ⇢ The Day of the Christmas Road Toll
⌨Morning coverage was dominated by the aftermath of Raila Odinga's death, with editors focusing on the TIFA poll showing a surge in Jubilee popularity and internal ODM friction over 2027 alignments. The Ministry of Education also faced a surge in administrative pressure, reporting over 100,000 requests for Senior School placement reviews on the first day of the revision window.
By midday, the editorial priority shifted abruptly to a series of high-profile tragedies and a spike in road fatalities. Headlines focused on a grisly crash on the Eldoret–Webuye highway that claimed ten lives, part of a broader NTSA report of 25 deaths within 24 hours. Simultaneously, the media prioritized the suspected suicide of Nairobi IT CEO Evans Githua and the murder of a Vihiga legal officer.
Evening reports emphasized the 'muted' festive season, with surveys indicating 55% of Kenyans opted out of Christmas celebrations due to the high cost of living. Musalia Mudavadi’s proposal for a 2027 constitutional referendum emerged as the primary political pivot to close the day.
