28.04.2026 ⇢ The Day Gachagua Sought Billions
⌨
The dominant story on April 28 was Gachagua's dramatic shift in his impeachment case: he abandoned his bid for reinstatement as Deputy President and instead demanded billions in compensation. This was covered across multiple outlets from early morning (Standard Media, Daily Nation, Taifaleo) and remained a key thread throughout the day. In the morning, Supreme Court judge interviews began, with candidates Katwa Kigen and Anne Makori asserting impartiality regarding President Ruto (Capital FM, Nairobi Leo). By midday, President Ruto clarified his controversial remarks about Nigerian English after backlash (Citizen, Standard Media). Meanwhile, Ghana pulled out of US aid talks over data demands (Citizen), and pirates hijacked a ship destined for Mombasa (Kenyans). Floods hit Nairobi estates after overnight rains (Kenyans). The EACC raided FKF offices over a CHAN insurance probe (Kenyans).
