Thursday, February 19, 2026 - School fees receipts and a social media post by Lawyer Wahome Thuku have shed light on a bitter custody battle between a Kenyan father and his divorced wife, revealing troubling behavior towards his children. The children, who live with their mother, have been at the center of ongoing legal disputes. Last year, a Nairobi magistrate court granted the father orders allowing him to take the children on weekends. However, when the mother took the kids to Pangani Police Station as required, he failed to show up, leaving the family waiting all day. According to Thuku, the father has been dismissive and unengaged in his children’s lives. Beyond the two younger children, the couple has a son now in grade 10. The father allegedly refused to recognize the boy during his initiation ceremony, opting not to participate at all. Despite this lack of involvement, the boy excelled academically and earned admission to one of Kenya’s top national schools. The dispute has now escalated further. The father has filed a court application demanding that the mother disclose which school their son joined, despite her having paid all fees and expenses. Thuku points out that this appears to be an attempt to punish the mother rather than a genuine concern for the child’s welfare. “This case highlights a serious weakness in our justice system where court orders exist but practical enforcement often leaves responsible parents and children at a disadvantage,’’ Thuku wrote.

Thursday, February 19, 2026 - Raila Odinga’s alleged adopted son, Oketch Salah, has intensified his fallout with the Odinga family after issuing a defiant ultimatum over the future of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).In a strongly worded statement on Thursday, February 19th, 2026, Salah challenged the Odinga clan to clarify whether ODM is a family-owned party or a national movement.His remarks came in response to Ruth Odinga’s interview a day earlier, where she dismissed knowing him personally.Salah insisted his contributions to ODM were made at Raila’s request, not for personal gain.“I come from a well‑established business family. Whatever I have done for ODM was not driven by selfish interests; it was done at Baba’s request.”“ODM does not belong to you, or to me, or to any one family,” he declared.The businessman emphasized that if ODM is indeed a family affair, he will step aside.“Baba spent more than 20 years building ODM into a national party. It belongs to the people of Kenya,” he added.Salah also accused Ruth of undermining her elder brother, Dr. Oburu Odinga, who assumed party leadership.“If you allow your elder brother to be put on the chopping board today, do not be surprised if tomorrow it is your turn,” he warned.Ruth Odinga has maintained she barely knows Salah, claiming that they have only met three times.In response, Salah stated that all their interactions were initiated by the Kisumu Woman Rep.“The truth is simple: the only times you and I have ever spoken or met are the times you reached out to me,” Salah said.

Thursday, February 19, 2026 - People’s Liberation Party (PLP) leader, Martha Karua, has shared her frustrations with the Social Health Authority (SHA) after her father’s recent hospital admission. Speaking on Thursday, February 19th, Karua revealed that SHA covered less than 10 percent of her father’s medical bill, leaving her to shoulder the rest. “My father was hospitalised last week, and his bill had accumulated to more than Ksh300,000. SHA only paid Ksh17,000,” she disclosed. Karua lamented that while she could afford to clear the balance, many Kenyans are left helpless. She questioned why the Government abandoned the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), which she argued offered better support. “Right now, Kenyans pay a bigger percentage of the bills, which was different when we were still under NHIF.” “Why did the Government move away from something that was working?” she posed. She accused the Government of enriching a few individuals at the expense of citizens’ health. “Don’t deduct our money, yet we cannot see where it is going. All we see is people getting rich, yet we cannot ascertain what businesses they are involved in,” she said. Karua maintained that the shift from NHIF to SHA was a step backward, joining other leaders who have criticized the fund. This comes after it emerged that SHA has so far lost Ksh11 billion through fake claims by medical facilities. Health CS Aden Duale admitted the loss but assured Kenyans that the Ministry is working to recover the funds and clean up the system. The Kenyan DAILY POST

Thursday, February 19, 2026 - The Russian Embassy in Nairobi has dismissed claims that it has been secretly recruiting Kenyan citizens to fight in the ongoing war with Ukraine. In a statement released on X on Thursday, February 19th, 2026, the Embassy described the reports as part of a “coordinated propaganda campaign” circulating in Kenyan media and public spaces. It insisted that allegations linking its staff to illegal recruitment schemes were false and misleading. “The Embassy of the Russian Federation has noted with great concern that a dangerous and misleading propaganda campaign has been unfolding around cases of Kenyan citizens who travelled to Russia, joined the Armed Forces, and saw combat in Ukraine,” the statement read. The Embassy clarified that Russian authorities have never engaged in illegal recruitment of Kenyan citizens. It further stated that no visas had been issued to Kenyans declaring their intention to participate in what Moscow calls the “Special Military Operation” in Ukraine. However, the Embassy acknowledged that Russian law does not prohibit foreign nationals from voluntarily enlisting in the Armed Forces if they are legally in the country. It emphasized that the Embassy itself has not encouraged or facilitated such enlistment. The statement also expressed readiness for “constructive and depoliticized dialogue” with the Kenyan Government, noting that several bilateral agreements on labour migration, travel, and security cooperation have been under consideration. This denial comes amid reports from Kenya’s National Intelligence Service (NIS) that private agencies and rogue officials have been facilitating enlistment of ex-police officers, former soldiers, and civilians lured by promises of lucrative pay and eventual citizenship. According to the reports, more than 1,000 Kenyans are believed to have left for Russia, with at least 200 already deployed in combat. Current figures indicate 39 hospitalised, 30 repatriated, 28 missing, 89 on the front line, and at least 10 confirmed dead. The Kenyan DAILY POST

Thursday, February 19, 2026 - Jubilee Party deputy leader and 2027 presidential hopeful, Fred Matiang’i, has issued fresh demands to the United Opposition coalition on selecting its presidential candidate. Speaking in Nairobi on Wednesday, February 18th, after receiving endorsement from the Party of National Unity (PNU), Matiang’i stressed that alliance building must involve all stakeholders, including the public. He warned that he will not accept any decision made without broad participation. “From where I sit, it ought to be an inclusive process, because in alliance building, process is as important as the outcome itself.” “If you have five candidates, four will walk away without the flagbearer position.” “They must have credible conviction to tell their supporters that we went through this process and settled on X or Y candidate,” Matiang’i said. He added: “If our interests are unity, then there is no substitute for inclusion, including the public. The people of Kenya should be part of the process.” His remarks come amid heightened competition within the opposition, with principals lobbying for endorsement to face President William Ruto in 2027. The coalition has pledged to field a single candidate, warning that disunity will hand Ruto an easy victory. The opposition had earlier announced plans to unveil its candidate in April 2026, though some leaders now prefer an early 2027 announcement. As campaigns intensify, principals have been traversing the country declaring their ambitions, raising questions about unity. Despite internal realignments, the coalition insists it remains intact. Matiang’i and Wiper leader, Kalonzo Musyoka, are seen as frontrunners, with one expected to clinch the ticket.
