Friday, January 23, 2026 - Media personality, Mwalimu Rachel, has shared a chilling experience that forever changed how she approaches social interactions, particularly hugging strangers. In a video posted on her Facebook page, Rachel narrated how she was invited to a private all‑white party. The event was filled with glitz, glamour, and extravagance, with guests throwing money in the air. “There is a party I went to, it was a private all‑white party. Watu wanaanza kumake it rain. Pesa zinarushwa rushwa (People started throwing money around, making it rain money),” she recounted. While the spectacle dazzled many, she admitted it left her distressed. “Immediately, my senses went up. Nikajiambia mimi vile nafanya kazi kwa bidii siwezi rusha hata coin ya 20 making it rain,” she said. The night took a darker turn when one guest approached her. In the process of exchanging a hug, Rachel felt something hard pressed against her side. “Kidogo kidogo jamaa mmoja akakuja kunisalimia na katika ile hali ya kuhug… Nikafeel kitu ngumu hapa kwa side nikajua hii ni bunduki na nikaona the butt of it,” she revealed. Shaken, she fled the party immediately. “Me? Daughter of Mr. Njeru to stick around after seeing a gun? Haaaaa! NEVER!!! I ran for the hills as fast as my red bottoms could carry me.” “Even when I wasn’t as spiritual back then, God’s voice was LOUD in my ears. Hata sikula bitings za party. Ladies, learn to LEAVE. You don’t have to stay there,” she advised. Rachel’s story serves as a reminder of the importance of trusting instincts and prioritizing safety, even in glamorous settings. The Kenyan DAILY POST

Friday, January 23, 2026 - Kenyan actor, filmmaker, and content creator, Abel Mutua, continues to inspire fans not only through his work in television and digital media but also with his heartfelt reflections on love and family. In a candid conversation on his wife’s podcast, Abel opened up about the foundation that has kept his marriage to Judy Nyawira, fondly known as “Mama Mumbus” strong for 17 years. For Abel, the answer is simple yet profound: friendship. “It is the friendship that holds marriage together,” he said, emphasizing that being best friends first has allowed them to navigate challenges and celebrate victories side by side. Abel described his wife as his “ride or die,” a phrase that perfectly captures the loyalty and trust at the heart of their relationship. He explained that while many modern couples struggle under the weight of material expectations, Judy chose to see his potential rather than possessions. “Back then, ladies judged men by potential,” Abel noted, crediting this mindset for their ability to grow together. The couple’s journey has not been without hurdles, and Abel acknowledged that marriage is “hard work, just like most things we commit to in life.” Yet, he insists the effort has yielded “truly, truly sweet” rewards. Judy, reflecting on their shared path, reinforced the importance of partnership. From raising their child to building careers, she highlighted that every milestone has been achieved together. Their love story continues to shine as a beacon of hope in the era where most marriages end before they even begin in earnest. The Kenyan DAILY POST

Friday, January 23, 2026 - The United States Government has expanded its list of Kenyan nationals classified as “worst of the worst” illegal immigrants, increasing the number from 15 to 28 individuals in just two months.The move comes as President Donald Trump’s administration intensifies its crackdown on undocumented immigrants and foreign nationals convicted of serious crimes.According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the list was launched in December to track illegal immigrants with criminal records across all 50 states.The platform is designed to enhance transparency around immigration enforcement, particularly ahead of the World Cup tournament scheduled to take place in the U.S later this year.The expanded list includes 13 additional Kenyans convicted of offences such as drug trafficking, armed robbery, homicide, assault and cruelty towards children.Other charges range from aggravated assault with a weapon, terror-related threats, and money laundering to cheque forgery, fraud, domestic violence and kidnapping.In a statement issued on January 20th, 2026, DHS revealed that more than 670,000 illegal aliens - including murderers,, gang members, and terrorists - have been removed from the U.S. since Trump took office.“On President Trump’s first day in office, he unleashed ICE to target the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.She added, “Today, we thank our law enforcement for a record-breaking first year of achievements, including more than 670,000 removals and two million self-deportations.”To accelerate removals, the administration has introduced a self-deportation app and recently increased payouts for voluntary departure from Ksh129,000 to Ksh336,000.DHS confirmed that those who sign up through the Customs and Border Protection app will also receive free flights back to their countries of origin.

Friday, January, 23, 2026 - City lawyer, Ahmednasir Abdullahi, has secured a significant legal victory after the Supreme Court of Kenya lifted a two-year ban that had barred him, his partners and associates from appearing before the apex court.In a statement issued on Friday, January 23rd, Ahmednasir described the ban as unjust and thanked senior lawyers Paul Muite SC, Fred Ngatia SC and Dennis Mosota for their intervention.“Exactly two years ago, on 23rd January 2024, the Supreme Court unfairly and without any justifiable cause banned me, my partners and associates in our law firm from appearing before the Court.“Today, the Supreme Court lifted the said order,” he said.Ahmednasir commended the judges for acknowledging that their earlier decision had been excessive, particularly in extending the ban to his colleagues.He noted that the court’s recognition of its overreach was an important step, but insisted that deeper institutional reforms were still necessary.“My difference with the court has never been personal.”“It is principled, ideological, and doctrinal. That difference remains and cannot be resolved by the mere lifting of the ban,” he stated.While his partners and associates are now free to practice before the Supreme Court, Ahmednasir declared that he will not return unless the court openly admits it was wrong to impose the ban.He criticized the notion that a small group of judges could determine who is allowed to practice, saying it undermines constitutional principles.He further warned that lifting the ban without addressing broader grievances leaves n unresolved “legitimacy crisis” within the institution.“These enormous issues of integrity and competence can’t be swept under the carpet.”“We need to make the Supreme Court of Kenya great again,” he concluded.

Friday, January 23, 2026 - President William Ruto has strongly defended his administration’s privatization strategy, dismissing criticism from Kiharu MP, Ndindi Nyoro, over the planned Safaricom share sale.Speaking on Friday, January 23rd, Ruto described Nyoro’s opposition as “political conmanship and intellectual deceit,” insisting that the move is about transforming Kenya rather than serving electoral interests.Nyoro had raised concerns that bypassing a competitive international bidding process could cost the country billions of shillings.He argued that Safaricom’s 6 billion shares being sold to Vodafone should fetch at least Ksh.45 each, rather than the proposed Ksh.34.“We should not be discussing anything below Ksh.45 per share, but we have been held hostage by the buyer,” Nyoro stated.Nyoro also alleged that the Communications Authority had triggered an 80‑billion‑shilling loss through a controversial license renewal waiver, claiming private entities stand to benefit from transactional costs tied to the Safaricom deal.In response, Ruto outlined an ambitious plan to raise Ksh.5 trillion by next year to finance development projects nationwide.He revealed that the government expects Ksh.110 billion from the Kenya Pipeline Initial Public Offering (IPO) within a month, and Ksh.240 billion from the Safaricom divestiture.Combined, these transactions would generate about Ksh.350 billion, which will be leveraged to secure between Ksh.3.5 and 4 trillion for infrastructure and growth.“This is not about politics. This is not about the next election. This is about transforming Kenya,” Ruto emphasized.The President further dismissed doubts about Safaricom’s valuation, stressing that public listed companies are transparently valued through capital markets and stock exchanges.“Any public listed company, the tested, proven, transparent valuation is done at the exchange.”“It’s not done in boardrooms or by committees,” he said.
