Saturday, January 17, 2026 - Popular online personality, Nurse Judy, has weighed in on a viral video showing a woman allegedly being harassed by her Mubaba, James Opande.In a series of posts on Instagram on Saturday, January 17th, 2026, while Judy acknowledged the harassment was wrong, she called out the woman’s reaction.According to Judy, a second video showed the woman smiling, giggling and even calling the man “babe,” despite the public humiliation.“There is even literally a PART 2 where she’s still there, begging to stay with him,” she noted.Judy dismissed claims that intoxication excused the behaviour, insisting that the woman was fully aware.“That lady was ALERT and oriented X4. She knew exactly what was happening,” she said, adding that the woman had options in that moment, including walking away.She argued that public perception would have shifted if the woman had clearly resisted.“If we had seen her calling him out, refusing the behaviour, demanding the recording to stop, the reaction would have been different,” Judy explained.Addressing claims of drunkenness, she clarified: “Na before you say she was drunk… intoxication has levels. Hatuongelelei ile ulevi ya chakari mpaka mtu amezima.”This comes amid calls for the arrest of the man responsible for the videos who has since been identified as a Kenyan caregiver based in the U.S, James Opande.

Saturday, January 17, 2026 - Prominent lawyer, Ahmednasir Abdullahi, claims that powerful figures within the Office of the President intervened to prevent the arrest of Kileleshwa MCA, Robert Alai, after he pulled a gun on Embakasi East MP, Babu Owino. In a strongly worded statement shared on X, Ahmednasir condemned what he termed as “selective and discriminatory application of the law” in Kenya, warning that the situation has become “too horrid and ugly to ignore.” The Senior Counsel noted that the incident occurred about two weeks ago at Cedars Restaurant along Lenana Road in Nairobi, where Alai was involved in a heated confrontation with MP Babu Owino. During the altercation, Alai drew a firearm and threatened to shoot the legislator. Ahmednasir claims the situation was only defused after a police officer intervened and disarmed Alai, an incident that would ordinarily warrant immediate arrest, investigation, and prosecution. However, no arrest has been made and no official statement has been issued by the police or the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP). Ahmednasir insists this silence is deliberate. “I hear the police were told by someone in the Office of the President not to touch Alai because his tweets on X and his blogs are useful to the broad-based Government,” the lawyer alleged.

Saturday, January 17, 2026 - Law enforcement officers have arrested two drug trafficking suspects and recovered 23 stones of cannabis sativa after intercepting a vehicle along the Awasi-Kisumu highway. The suspects, Hussein Sharif Abdala (52) and Fania Hamisi (23), a Ugandan national, were travelling in a vehicle registered as KDP 802C, officially assigned for sugar transport. Authorities flagged the vehicle at a routine roadblock, but the occupants failed to stop, prompting a high-speed chase. The vehicle was eventually intercepted in the Ngere area along the Kisumu-Kericho Highway, where officers conducted a search and recovered the suspected narcotics. Both suspects are currently in custody as the exhibits undergo weighing and sampling ahead of their court arraignment. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) reiterated its commitment to dismantling drug trafficking networks, emphasizing zero tolerance for traffickers, regardless of status, through sustained operations and multi-agency collaboration.

Saturday, January 17, 2026 - Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga found himself under pressure to declare his political allegiance during a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) grassroots leaders’ meeting held on Saturday, January 17th, at Sagana State Lodge. The event, attended by President William Ruto, saw Embu Governor Cecily Mbarire, the UDA national chairperson, challenge Kahiga to state his position on the 2027 presidential election. “Governor, you are my brother. All these Nyeri people belong to the ‘two‑term’ team; can you tell them where you belong?” Mbarire asked. Kahiga, however, avoided a direct response, instead turning the question to the audience. Locals shouted in support of Ruto, which the Governor acknowledged as his stance. Kahiga’s cautious approach reflects his delicate balancing act. While appearing to warm up to Ruto, he has previously expressed support for former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. His reluctance to denounce Gachagua has fueled speculation about his political positioning. Earlier this month, Kahiga set tongues wagging after engaging separately with both leaders. On January 9th, he hosted Gachagua at a rally in Nyeri, and two days later joined Ruto at a church service in Othaya. Local leaders, including Woman Representative Rahab Mukami and Senator Wahome Wamatinga, urged him to stop straddling both sides, warning that it risked confusing residents. Responding to criticism, Kahiga insisted that he maintains a strong relationship with the President. “I have accompanied the President at every function in Nyeri. I voted for him, he is my President, and I am the Governor. Where is the confusion?” he said. Kahiga clarified that he remains a UDA member with no plans to defect, stressing his priority is serving Nyeri residents while leaving future political decisions for the right time.

Saturday, January 17, 2026 - President William Ruto has dismissed claims that he is pushing the Affordable Housing Programme for personal benefit as a supplier of building materials. The allegations have been fronted by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, who has repeatedly accused Ruto and his allies of profiting from the initiative. Speaking in Nyeri on Saturday, January 17th, during a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) grassroots leaders’ meeting, Ruto defended the programme, insisting that it is designed for the common good. He highlighted its role in creating jobs for the youth and distributing benefits across labour and supply chains. “They say I push this programme because I supply cement and steel. Is it easy to supply those materials?” Ruto asked, dismissing the accusations. He further clarified that procurement for the housing projects is spread nationwide, making it impossible for one individual to dominate supply. The President reiterated his commitment to implementing the housing agenda as outlined in his manifesto, noting that projects are ongoing across the country. However, the programme has faced legal challenges. The High Court in Nairobi recently suspended construction of the Southlands Affordable Housing Project in Lang’ata. Justice Charles Mbogo issued conservatory orders halting the works pending determination of a petition questioning the project’s legality and compliance. The Kenyan DAILY POST
