Next time, I’ll ask those at the gate not to allow people dressed like that for serious functions,” he added.Below is a photo of Sakaja’s outfit that didn’t sit well with President Ruto.

Friday, April 10, 2026 - Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader, Rigathi Gachagua, has raised an alarm over what he claims is a coordinated plan to disrupt his party’s rally in Kikuyu Town scheduled for Saturday, April 11th. In a statement issued on Friday, April 10th, Gachagua accused Kikuyu MP, Kimani Ichung’wah, and elements within the police service of orchestrating violence to derail the meeting. He cited remarks made by Ichung’wah at Alliance High School on March 25th, and in Parliament on April 9th, as evidence of threats. “We are raising concerns over a planned disruption of our meeting scheduled for Saturday the 11th April 2026 in Kikuyu Town.” “In several, well documented instances the Kikuyu Constituency Member of Parliament, one Mr. Kimani Ichung’wa, has made direct, and veiled threats targeting our meeting,” the statement read. Gachagua alleged that intelligence reports pointed to a plan involving hired groups and police officers to cause mayhem. “We have intelligence and confirmation from the ground that pursuant to his proclamations the MP is organising violence with goons and the police,” he claimed, adding that roads into Kikuyu Town will be blocked using stalled heavy vehicles. He further referenced a meeting held on April 9th at Kentmere Club along Limuru Road, attended by senior county security officials, as part of the coordination. The DCP leader insisted that his party operates within the law, citing peaceful rallies in Gatundu North, Juja, Kabete and Githunguri. “All these meetings were peaceful and orderly. What makes Kikuyu Town special and predisposed to violence?” “Mr. Ichung’wa has the intention of creating the violence and blaming it on our Party,” he said. Gachagua urged Inspector General of Police, Douglas Kanja, to ensure neutrality, warning that Ichung’wah and Kiambu security commanders will be held responsible for any unrest. The Kenyan DAILY POST

Friday, April 10, 2026 - The Office of the Deputy President is facing scrutiny after lawmakers raised concerns over substantial spending on hired helicopters, with revelations made during a Public Accounts Committee (PAC) sitting on April 9th. PAC is probing pending bills amounting to Ksh478 million owed to suppliers and service providers for the 2024/2025 financial year. Documents presented before the committee showed that approximately Ksh150 million of the amount was spent on helicopter services. Expenditure records indicated that Deputy President Kithuri Kindiki spent up to Ksh8 million on helicopter services in a single day, covering trips to Tharaka Nithi, Laikipia, Isiolo and Kitui. “There is a particular entry for a chopper to Tharaka Nithi, Laikipia, Isiolo and Kitui, which shows Ksh 8.08 million in one day,” said Rarieda MP, Otiende Amollo. Amollo questioned the practicality of such spending, noting that many entries ranged between Ksh3 million and Ksh4 million. “Is it practical to spend 8 million in one day?” he asked. Lawmakers also raised concerns about the frequency of trips linked to Kindiki’s home county of Tharaka Nithi, questioning whether public resources were being used for personal travel. PAC chair, Tindi Mwale, responded: “The Deputy President has the right to go home and come back.” Beyond travel, the committee examined hospitality expenses, including catering, staff, food and fresh flowers. PAC flagged the absence of a functioning audit committee within the Deputy President’s office and demanded detailed documentation within a week, including a breakdown of the Ksh8 million expenditure. In response, the Office of the Deputy President said it is working with the National Treasury to address budgetary constraints and reduce pending bills, while promising improved expenditure management. The inquiry comes amid wider public concern over rising debt, budget priorities, and the high cost of living. The Kenyan DAILY POST

Friday, April 10, 2026 - In a landmark judgment, the Court of Appeal in Nyeri has ruled that a father cannot be denied custody or access to his child simply because he has not paid dowry.The ruling, delivered on March 27th, 2026, has sparked conversations about the intersection of culture, law and parental rights.The case involved a dispute between a biological father and the child’s grandparents, who had cared for the minor since the mother died during childbirth.Initially, the father allowed the grandparents to stay with the child while he handled hospital bills and funeral arrangements.After remarrying and settling down, he sought custody, but the grandparents refused, insisting that dowry for their late daughter had to be paid first.Although the father eventually paid the agreed amount, the grandparents still withheld the child, prompting him to seek legal redress in 2017.In their defense, the grandparents argued that he had failed to consistently support the child and had not met cultural obligations.After years of hearings, the court ruled in favor of the father, noting his stable income and ability to provide for the child.“I find that the appellant, being the undisputed father of the minor, is the right person to have the legal and actual custody of the minor.”“It is not only morally wrong but unlawful to deny the father of the child who is alive and readily willing to take care of the child,” the judges stated.The court emphasized that cultural practices such as dowry cannot override constitutional rights, reiterating that the best interests of the child must always come first.
