25.12.2025 ⇢ The Day of the Kericho-Nakuru Road Deaths
⌨
Morning editorial focus was split between the grim reality of a 'muted' Christmas due to economic hardship and the immediate reporting of festive season fatalities. Editors prioritized a head-on collision on the Kericho-Nakuru highway that killed three and injured four, alongside the murder of a legal officer in Vihiga, continuing a trend of holiday violence reported the previous day. By midday, media attention pivoted to a DCI progress report regarding the death of former MP Cyrus Jirongo. Outlets highlighted the identification of a vehicle captured on CCTV near the scene and the dismissal of a security guard who spoke to the press, deepening the intrigue around the case. Simultaneously, political coverage intensified as ODM internal rifts surfaced; Junet Mohamed alleged a Sh1bn plot by Uhuru Kenyatta to pull the party out of the government, while Oburu Odinga challenged party leadership. In the evening, headlines transitioned to the death of a senior Standard Group videographer and the celebratory crowds at Uhuru Park, contrasting with the morning’s focus on financial distress.
