Résumé Complet

During voter registration in Ekurhuleni, Ramaphosa confirmed he received a June 17 letter from DA leader Geordin Hill-Lewis proposing swaps like moving John Steenhuisen from agriculture to deputy trade minister and shifting Willie Aucamp to handle the foot-and-mouth outbreak. The DA wants these moves to boost performance under the Government of National Unity deal from July 2024, but Ramaphosa reminded everyone that South Africa's Constitution gives him sole power over such decisions. While the Presidency called it under positive consideration, reactions split, with some praising his firm stance and others worrying about coalition tensions.

Point Clé

President Cyril Ramaphosa drew a clear line Friday, telling reporters that only he appoints cabinet members—'finish and klaar.' It was a direct response to the DA's push for changes in their ministers.

Résumé Complet

On February 18, Kenya National Highways Authority cleared encroaching stalls at Githurai 45 and Roysambu to build bus bays and ease congestion, after a February 9 notice giving seven days to vacate. Angry traders protested by paralyzing Thika Road, clashing with police who used tear gas, while lamenting lost livelihoods in a tough economy with no relocation plans. Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua called the nighttime raid senseless amid bandit attacks elsewhere, as others defended it for road safety and pointed to an underused modern market nearby.

Point Clé

Overnight bulldozers flattened roadside kiosks along Thika Superhighway, leaving traders to sift through debris as they blocked the road with burning tires the next morning.

Résumé Complet

The gaffe happened on March 5 amid U.S.-Iran tensions, when Kashyap misinterpreted a White House reference to the 1979 hostage crisis as a fresh event. Panelist Pranay Upadhyay swiftly corrected her, explaining the U.S. embassy closed after revolutionaries held 52 Americans for 444 days. Kashyap apologized on air and dropped the headline, but clips drew widespread ridicule for highlighting lapses in live TV fact-checking.

Point Clé

In a live broadcast, anchor Anjana Om Kashyap urgently announced Iranian terrorists seizing 66 Americans at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran—with a 'War Breaking' banner flashing behind her.

Résumé Complet

On February 19, 2026, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen denied police used tear gas at recent opposition rallies, such as Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna's event in Kitengela on February 15 and Rigathi Gachagua's church service in Nyeri on January 25. He blamed civilians who illegally obtained the canisters, possibly from rogue officers, and directed Inspector General Douglas Kanja to investigate misuse. Eyewitnesses and media attributed the incidents to police, while online skeptics questioned how civilians access police-grade munitions so easily, highlighting tensions ahead of more opposition gatherings.

Point Clé

Amid chaos at rallies, crowds fled tear gas clouds while leaders like Edwin Sifuna escaped damaged stages. Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen insists police aren't behind it.

Résumé Complet

Kenyan activist Francis Awino filed a High Court petition on Thursday challenging Francis Atwoli's unopposed re-election as COTU-K secretary general for a sixth term, extending his 32-year leadership until 2031. Awino argues the March 14 vote at Tom Mboya Labour College in Kisumu violated COTU's constitution and constitutional rights to information, fair labor relations, and administrative action, after his requests for membership registers and financial records were ignored. This is at least the seventh legal challenge, amid COTU's dismissal of prior suits as baseless and calls for greater transparency in union governance.

Point Clé

Francis Awino stood outside Nairobi's High Court, voicing frustration over a union election he calls shrouded in secrecy. With COTU representing over a million Kenyan workers, his petition demands real accountability.

Résumé Complet

The comedian's Sisi Kwa Sisi campaign covered the 486-kilometer route from Nairobi's Nyayo Stadium to raise funds for a rescue center with a clinic, ambulances, donations warehouse, and free secondary school. Donors bought kilometers at KSh 10,000 each, allowing Omondi and supporters—who joined in sections wearing flags and Spider-Man costumes—to complete it faster than a typical walking pace. Despite torn ligaments, Omondi pushed on, praising Kenyans for overachieving and turning the walk into a community rally with celebrities and fans.

Point Clé

Eric Omondi crossed the finish line at Mombasa's Mama Ngina Waterfront on Saturday, greeted by cheering crowds after a grueling four-day charity journey.

Résumé Complet

Kairo built Kai & Karo Motors importing luxury cars like Porsches from Japan, rising fast from Facebook sales at age 18. Troubles hit in 2024 with arrests for undelivered vehicles, over KSh 50 million in debts, lawsuits, and a former partner's jail time over client funds. Now facing personal asset auctions after losing his mother in February 2026, he keeps listing cars online while Kenyans mix criticism of past antics with calls for compassion and hopes for his comeback.

Point Clé

Auctioneers hooked up Khalif Kairo's white Porsche Cayenne and towed it away, just days after his office gear sold for unpaid rent. The 28-year-old posted a Bible verse about future glory amid the mounting losses.
