William Ruto is scared because 2027 is no longer a distant political nightmare. It is at the door. He has ruled with an iron fist, battered the economy, broken public trust and treated the anger of Kenyans as though it were a passing storm. He thinks Kenyans will forget the pain, the blood, the abductions, the broken promises and the unbearable cost of living. He is mistaken. Kenyans have not forgotten. They are waiting for their moment at the ballot. The arrogance of power has an expiry date. State machinery cannot manufacture public trust, intimidation cannot buy genuine loyalty, and propaganda cannot erase lived experience. In 2027, Kenyans will have their say. The same people he has ignored, insulted and taken for granted will decide whether he deserves another term. Ruto must understand one thing: the presidency is temporary, but the people's verdict is final. – at Ruiru, Kenya

Doris Karimi is dead, and five children have been left behind, including a one year old baby. Her husband, Peter, is now left devastated, confused and struggling to understand how he will raise their five children without their mother. According to the family, Doris sought an abortion at PONA Medical Centre in Mwiki and died after complications arising from the procedure. The family further alleges that the procedure involved an unqualified practitioner. These are extremely serious allegations that cannot simply be buried with Doris. If a person without the necessary qualifications performed a medical procedure that resulted in her death, that person must be identified, arrested and investigated. If the facility allowed an unqualified person to carry out such a procedure, those responsible must also be held accountable. Five children have lost their mother. One of them is barely one year old. We need answers. We need the medical records, the postmortem findings and a proper police investigation. The relevant health regulatory authorities must also establish whether the facility and the person who attended to Doris were properly licensed. Doris deserves justice. Peter deserves answers. And those five children deserve to know that their mother's death was not simply ignored. – at Ruiru, Kenya
