Friday, February 13, 2026 - A Muslim woman was captured on camera politely declining a hug from President William Ruto during his visit to Wajir County for the launch of the Nyota Programme. In the trending video, President Ruto is seen greeting residents after the event. As he approaches a woman dressed modestly in a hijab, he moves in for a hug while exchanging pleasantries. However, the woman gently steps back and declines the hug, prompting laughter and murmurs from the crowd. The President quickly moves on and proceeds to his vehicle under tight security, appearing to take the incident lightly. Many social media users noted that the woman’s reaction was likely guided by religious and cultural beliefs.

Friday, February 13, 2026 - Renowned media personality, Janet Mbugua, has taken fans down memory lane, recounting how she landed her first job in radio at just 19 years old, a moment that set the stage for her illustrious career in media. Marking World Radio Day on Friday, February 13th, 2026, Janet shared a throwback photo from 2003 alongside a heartfelt reflection on her early days in the industry. “First, don’t laugh! This was 2003, and I was 19… yeah, anyway! I had the guts to knock on doors and somehow found myself working at the very station I grew up listening to. Capital FM,” she wrote. She recalled the nerves and excitement of her first days in the studio, admitting she often prayed nothing embarrassing would go on air. “Suddenly, I was in a tiny studio, pretending I knew which buttons to press and praying nothing embarrassing went on air. “Sometimes it still did! Radio became my real training ground,” she added. The mother of two explained that radio sharpened her confidence, thinking and communication skills, while opening her eyes to the power of simple conversations. “It built my confidence, sharpened my thinking, and showed me how powerful simple conversations can be when you know someone out there is listening.” “It also opened the door to the media journey I’m still on today,” she reflected. Looking back, she expressed gratitude for the memories and the magic of radio. “Looking at these photos feels like catching up with an old friend. Grateful for where it all began, and for the magic of radio that still keeps us company every day.” “Happy World Radio Day!” she concluded. The Kenyan DAILY POST

Friday, February 13, 2026 - Veteran comedian and media personality, Jasper Muthomi, popularly known as MC Jessy, has revealed his bold plans to contest for a parliamentary seat in the 2027 General Elections.Speaking during an interview on Friday, February 13th, 2026, Jessy emphasized that his passion for the creative industry is driving his political ambitions.“I will be in parliament in 2027. I am passionate about the creative industry,” he declared, noting that his main agenda will be to push for the long-delayed Creative Economy Bill.Jessy expressed frustration that the bill has been stuck in Parliament for four years without being passed into law.As one of the founders of the Digital Content Creators Association of Kenya, he questioned whether creatives were truly involved in shaping the legislation.“Why is it still sitting in parliament? I am not seeing anybody concerned about the Creative Economy Bill,” he lamented.He added that if he were already in Parliament, the bill would not be gathering dust.“What if I were in parliament? Could it be sitting there?” he asked rhetorically.Beyond legislation, Jessy promised to fight for better pay for content creators, warning that the flashy lifestyles often showcased online are not always real.“Sometimes, they are paid to do that. Instead, they should be able to live real life,” he explained, adding that many Kenyan creatives are financially struggling compared to their peers abroad.Jessy also highlighted the importance of working closely with the President to push creative-friendly policies.“When you are inside parliament and close to the president, he will listen to you if you are passionate about an issue in his manifesto,” he said.This is not Jessy’s first political attempt.In 2022, he had declared his bid for the South Imenti parliamentary seat but lost out during the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) nominations.At the time, Jessy accused the party of short-changing him after being asked to step aside in favor of another candidate.

Friday, February 13, 2026 - Mumias East MP, Peter Salasya, has stirred fresh debate in Kenya’s political circles after cautioning his Embakasi East counterpart, Babu Owino, about his engagements with Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna.In a post on his X account on Friday, February 13th, 2026, Salasya urged Babu to tread carefully.“To the likes of Babu Owino, if your allegiance is genuinely to the people, exercise political vigilance when engaging with Edwin Sifuna,” he wrote.The remarks come at a time of heightened divisions within the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), with both Babu and Sifuna expected to share a stage at a Kitengela rally on Sunday, February 15th, 2026.Salasya has been vocal about the ongoing clashes, alleging that ODM is being manipulated by State House to distract Kenyans from pressing national issues.“ODM is united but being used by State House to confuse Kenyans as they continue to steal,” he claimed.The vocal legislator went further, linking the embattled ODM Secretary General to the alleged plot, while insisting that the truth will soon be revealed.“ODM is the problem of Kenyans. The day ODM will die completely is the day Kenyans will get freedom,” he added.In another fiery post, Salasya cautioned Kenyans against trusting ODM politics and directly appealed to President Ruto to dismantle the party.“Trust ODM politics at your own peril…wacha ODM ikufe. Ruto, maliza ODM completely na uizike kabisa,” he wrote, urging the President to finish what he started and pave way for “truthful leaders” in 2027. The Kenyan DAILY POST 

 

 

Friday, February 13, 2026 - A Nakuru court has set free Peter Kioko Wambui, who had been facing charges of possessing cannabis and a sharp knife at Free Area in Nakuru East sub-county.Kioko was arrested on July 13th, 2022, with police alleging that he was armed with a kitchen knife with intent to commit a felony, specifically stealing.He was also accused of being in possession of 25 rolls of cannabis valued at Ksh1,250, contrary to the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (Control) Act (NDPCA).Delivering judgment on February 10th, 2026, Senior Principal Magistrate Aloyce Peter Ndege ruled that the prosecution had failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt.He noted that there was no evidence linking Kioko’s possession of the knife to any planned felony.“What if the accused intended to use the kitchen knife for its intended use, that is, preparation of food, and not necessarily to harm or threaten anyone?” the magistrate posed.On the cannabis charge, Ndege observed that the prosecution did not conclusively prove the seized plant material met the legal definition of cannabis under section 2 of the NDPCA.“The evidence laid by the prosecution does not therefore exclude the seeds and leaves. The prosecution has thus failed to prove to the required standard that the plant material herein was cannabis,” he ruled.Consequently, the magistrate ordered Kioko’s immediate release from remand custody, where he had been held since 2022.“I do hereby acquit the accused herein of the offences of preparation to commit a felony and being in possession of cannabis,” Ndege declared.

Friday, February 13, 2026 - Public Service Cabinet Secretary, Geoffrey Ruku, has dismissed remarks by Siaya Senator Oburu Oginga suggesting that the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) is eyeing the Deputy President’s seat ahead of the 2027 General Elections.Speaking on Thursday, February 12th, Ruku defended Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, insisting that the position is not up for negotiation.“Prof. Kithure Kindiki is the current Deputy President of Kenya. He will continue serving as Kenya’s Deputy President from 2027 to 2032.”“If ODM wants the Deputy President’s seat, we are ready to give them that position in 2032 when Kithure Kindiki becomes President.”“But for now, the seat is not vacant,” he stated.His remarks came a day after Oburu clarified ODM’s position, noting that the party still considers the Deputy President’s office a key target in their coalition pact with UDA ahead of 2027 elections.“There was something that people misinterpreted. They claimed that I said ODM does not want the DP seat, but that’s the position we have our eyes on.”“What I said is that we do not have a personal grudge or issue with Kindiki, but that seat is a public position,” Oburu explained.
