Operation Ghostbusters is a nationwide investigation into a large‑scale student‑loan fraud scheme in which criminal actors created fraudulent Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) accounts using stolen U.S. citizen identities to enroll “ghost students” in educational institutions. "This is the first international seizure of its kind in Kenya. If you steal American identities, if you steal taxpayer dollars, if you exploit programs meant to help students build a future — we will find you. Whether you are in Nebraska, New Jersey, Virginia, or Nairobi, we will pursue you." -@AAGMcDonald

My opinion is the first game at Talanta Stadium should be AFC Leopards vs Gor Mahia or Harambee Stars vs someone.

Source: Amidst the ongoing milk shortage, the government has inexplicably denied Brookside permission to import milk and milk products from its Uganda plant. Luckily for the firm, demand for their yoghurt and mala brands, which fetch higher margins, has gone up astronomically.

Kenyan cabin crew members David Kimotho and John Muchina have been honoured by the UAE for their bravery during a mid-air emergency aboard Flydubai Flight FZ1073 on September 30, 2026. The two helped attend to the injured captain and maintain order among passengers after the co-pilot allegedly attacked the captain. The aircraft later made an emergency landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The UAE honoured the Flydubai crew with the First Class Order of Zayed II, recognising their courage and professionalism during the incident. The medals were presented by Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. More details: shorturl.at/3mprA 🎥: Dubai Media Office

Everyone in Japan has a job in factories, etc. No one has been forced to give up their Land. This model you want to replicate in Kenya is not your model. It is a model of the multinational GMOs whose plan is to take over the African Landmass and dictate the seeds we grow. Dangerous neocolonialism....

As promised, we’ve been tracking voter registration irregularities under IEBC. The information coming in is shocking. Kenyans in some areas are being paid KSh 200-1,000 to register as voters… but not at their own polling stations. The condition? Their polling centre must 1/2

#HistoryKeThread: Moi’s Awkward Promotions ————- After he took over the reins of leadership in 1978, late President Moi made unprecedented changes in the armed forces that distorted the regular hierarchical order of military command. In November of that year Moi promoted Maj. Gen. Jackson Mulinge from army commander to Lieutenant-General and Chief of General Staff, the very role in the armed forces that President Jomo Kenyatta had abolished in 1971. Brigadier Kathuka Nzioka, another Kamba, replaced Mulinge as army commander. At the time, Lieutenant-Colonel John Malan Sawe (pictured), a Kalenjin, was head of the transport services. He was promoted to deputy army commander, creating an awkward situation in which a Lt. Col. commanded Brigadiers, who were superior in rank. Three Brigadiers, including Lucas Matu, were then retired to head various parastatals, clearing the way for Sawe, who within one year (1979) had in quick succession been propelled from a Lt. Col. to a Brigadier. Matu died in suspicious circumstances soon afterwards. There were mutterings of tribalism when Nzioka also died in 1979 and Sawe was promoted to head the army, having jumped from Lieutenant Colonel to Major General in a year.

This was Ruto condemning the fuel price increase in 2022 and said that Uhuru Kenyatta was just blaming Ukraine war. He has increased the fuel price and blaming war in Iran.

Doesn’t this open the window to have someone vote twice - potentially? Why the sudden interest in suspect reforms in the electoral sector months to the polls?
A new proposal in Parliament seeks to allow Kenyans who registered as voters using a valid passport to vote in 2027 even if the passport has since expired. The Bill adds that the passport must have been valid when the voter registered.
