25.09.2026 ⇢ The Day the Court Upheld the Housing Levy
⌨
Fallout from Uhuru Kenyatta's claim that Raila Odinga won in 2022 continued, with Moses Kuria adding a claim of 2013 server intervention and Speaker Wetangula asking why Uhuru was 'wailing more than the bereaved.' Deputy President Kindiki's unity appeal in Nyeri was countered by Kirinyaga leaders insisting Uhuru still speaks for Mt Kenya.
Police progress in the murder of lawyer Mathew Kyalo Mbobu drew attention, as a third suspect was arrested, four suspects were detained for 15 days and the getaway motorcycle was recovered. Missing activist Muteti Mulinge was found alive in Mlolongo and later described torture during four days.
Appeal judges sustained the Affordable Housing Act and 1.5% levy. State House announced Ruto's six-county Coast tour with 200,000 title deeds, as oil drilling gear landed in Mombasa for Turkana and Ruto toured Dangote's refinery. The Controller of Budget reported counties spent Ksh17B on travel against Ksh172B pending bills.
