President William Ruto continues to face his litmus test over the diaspora agenda, even as he extends an olive branch to woo them, cementing his re-election plan seems to be experiencing headwinds by the day. The diaspora, long praised for its remittances and political clout, has increasingly become a constituency that no Kenyan president can afford to ignore, yet it is one that Ruto is now struggling to win over.

At the forefront of this generational charge is 29-year-old Jane Kipng’etich, a former student leader and civic rights activist who is contesting for the Baringo West parliamentary seat. “Baringo has been left behind,” Kipng’etich said during a

Ruto 2027 matrix crumbles as opposition gains ground amid brutality and internal rift
President William Ruto’s once meticulously crafted 2027 reelection matrix is showing alarming cracks as the opposition makes strategic inroads into his former strongholds, while internal dissent and rising police brutality alienate key voting blocs.

The untouchables walk free: DPP Ingonga office excels in selective blindness
In what critics are now describing as the darkest season for Kenya’s justice system since the return to multi-party democracy, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions under Renson Ingonga is facing mounting scrutiny over a string of high-profile case withdrawals, prompting outrage from civil society, legal experts, and the public alike.
