Siku hizi, ukisimama mbele ya wananchi ukisema unataka kuwa MCA, maswali ni mengi kuliko ya KCPE! Wananchi wanataka MCA wa aina gani? Elimu: Unaelewa kazi ya MCA au umeamka tu ukajiona uko tayari kuongoza? Maendeleo: Umeleta nini kwa wananchi, ama maendeleo yako ni picha za Facebook pekee? Uadilifu: Pesa za umma zikifika mikononi mwako, utazitumia kwa maendeleo ama tutaanza kusikia hadithi za “system iko down”? Uwakilishi: Utatetea wananchi katika Bunge la Kaunti, ama utakuwa wa kusema “ndio, mheshimiwa” kila siku? Ufikivu: Baada ya uchaguzi, simu yako itakuwa inaita kweli, ama itaanza kuita tu wakati wa kampeni? Maono: Una mpango wa kuboresha huduma za afya, barabara, maji na nafasi za vijana, ama slogan yako ni “tutafanya”? Na muhimu zaidi, MCA si mfadhili wa kila mtu binafsi. Kazi yake ni kutunga sheria za kaunti, kuwakilisha wananchi, kushiriki kuidhinisha bajeti na kuisimamia serikali ya kaunti. Kwa hiyo, tunahitaji mtu anayejua wajibu wake na anayewajibika kwa wananch...

Sharon Otieno’s Family Says They Have Forgiven Obado The family of the late Sharon Otieno has told the High Court that they have forgiven former Migori Governor Okoth Obado, while still asking the court to impose punishment for the offence. During the sentencing proceedings on Wednesday, September 16, Sharon’s family said that despite the pain and suffering they have endured since her murder in 2018, they had chosen forgiveness. The family, however, maintained that forgiveness does not mean the offence should go unpunished. They also highlighted the financial and emotional burden they have carried over the years, including the costs associated with attending court proceedings and caring for Sharon’s children. Obado and his two co-accused, Michael Oyamo and Caspal Obiero, were convicted of Sharon Otieno’s murder following an eight-year court process. The family’s position highlights a difficult distinction between forgiveness and accountability: they say they have forgiven, ...

OCHILO–NYAMITA TOGETHER FOR RUTO: WHAT DOES THIS REALLY MEAN FOR MIGORI? By Migori County Politics The photograph doing the rounds today carries a simple political message: Ochilo Ayacko and Mark Nyamita, two politicians who have been on opposite sides of Migori's emerging political contest, standing together to welcome President William Ruto. But beyond the smiles, handshakes and political symbolism lies a more important question: Can political cooperation around the President translate into measurable development for the people of Migori? That is the question residents should be asking. President Ruto is in Migori today, September 16, 2026, as the final stop of his four-day Nyanza development tour. His itinerary includes inspection of the Stella–Sibuoche–Gogo Road in Uriri and the Kanyawanga–Kwoyo–Madiaba Road in Awendo, among other engagements. And that makes today's political picture particularly interesting. 1. The photograph represents a major politica...

Ndindi Nyoro's Political Shift and the Road to 2027 The political landscape in Kenya continues to evolve as leaders reposition themselves ahead of the 2027 general elections. One of the most significant developments in recent months has been the decision by Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro to leave the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and assume the leadership of the People's Party of Kenya (PPK), a move that has attracted national attention and sparked discussions across the political spectrum. Founded in 1996, the People's Party of Kenya is a registered political party headquartered at Witeithie House in Thika, Kiambu County. Although the party has participated in previous elections, it has traditionally maintained a relatively low national profile. That changed when Ndindi Nyoro officially joined the party and announced his intention to use it as a platform for advancing an alternative political agenda. Under the current leadership structure...
