Thursday, February 12, 2026 - Media personality and stand-up comedian, Sande Bush, popularly known as Dr. Ofweneke, has sparked lively debate online after suggesting that highly educated people often struggle to sustain marriages.Speaking during a radio interview on Thursday, February 12th, 2026, Ofweneke argued that higher education sometimes comes with ego, exposure and independence, which can complicate relationships.He contrasted this with rural marriages, which he said thrive due to simplicity and limited external influence.“Most people who are learned do not stay married. This is why those marriages in the village are working?”“There is no TikTok where a bitter woman just appeared,” he quipped.The comedian, who has been in two failed marriages, recently opened up on his personal views on marriage, explaining why he is in no rush to tie the knot again.“One of the reasons I am not in a hurry to get married is the question of babe leo tutakula nini? I don’t get it.”“Wives never seem to know,” he joked, adding that after working hard to provide, he finds it exhausting to still be expected to make meal decisions. The Kenyan DAILY POST

Thursday, February 12, 2026 - The removal of Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna as Secretary General of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has drawn reactions from the family of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.On Wednesday, February 11th, Raila Junior took to X with a cryptic post suggesting that adversity shapes resilience.“The finest steel must go through the hottest fire,” he wrote, sparking speculation about his stance on the party’s decision.In the same vein, East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) MP, Winnie Odinga, expressed dissatisfaction more directly, posting on Facebook: “It is not well.”Sifuna was ousted during a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting chaired by ODM leader, Oburu Oginga, in Mombasa.The party announced that Busia Woman Representative, Catherine Omanyo, will serve in an acting capacity until a substantive replacement is elected.Reacting to his removal, Sifuna dismissed the NEC’s decision as illegitimate, insisting that he remains the duly elected Secretary General.“This action is unlawful, unprocedural and a blatant violation of the ODM constitution as well as the principles of natural justice,” he said at a press briefing in Nairobi.He further alleged that his ouster was linked to his refusal to support President William Ruto’s 2027 reelection bid, maintaining: “This country cannot afford another five years of this expensive and incompetent Ruto misadventure.”Despite the controversy, Sifuna vowed to continue serving in his role, thanking Kenyans for their overwhelming support.

Thursday, February 12, 2026 - George Wajackoyah’s former running mate in the 2022 presidential elections, Justina Wamae, has weighed in on the divisions rocking the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) following the removal of Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna as Secretary General.Sifuna was ousted during a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held in Mombasa on Wednesday, February 11th, 2026, a move that has deepened internal party rifts.In the aftermath, several politicians and supporters urged him to abandon ODM and either join another party or form his own.Wamae dismissed such calls, pointing to Sifuna’s past remarks about preferring to remain in a party with established figures.“Wacheni kushinda mkimuita akuje muunde chama, alisema he would rather be a small fish in a big pond than a big one in a small pond. Mnaskia na wapi?” she posted on X.The statement loosely translates to: “Stop urging him to form a new party. He said he would rather be a small fish in a big pond than a big one in a small pond.”Despite his ouster, Sifuna has vowed to stay put in ODM, insisting he remains the duly elected Secretary General.“We shall fight through all lawful means to the end.”“I remain a loyal member and duly elected Secretary General of the ODM party,” he declared at a press conference on Thursday, February 12th.Sifuna claimed that his removal was politically motivated, tied to his opposition to ODM’s alleged plans to support President William Ruto’s 2027 re-election bid.He accused the current leadership of desecrating Raila Odinga’s legacy, warning that ODM risks becoming an appendage of State House.Sifuna pledged to challenge what he termed “illegalities” both in court and in the court of public opinion, as divisions within ODM continue to widen.

Fools cannot tolerate intelligent men.”The removal has sparked widespread reactions across Kenya’s political circles.Renowned activist and presidential aspirant, Boniface Mwangi, hailed Sifuna as a principled leader who resisted pressure from “demagogues and dictators.”Mwangi insisted that Sifuna remains a vital voice for Kenyans, regardless of his position in ODM.Mumias East MP, Peter Salasya, also congratulated Sifuna, arguing that the ouster salvaged his political standing and opened new opportunities.“Now you are free. We can fight for Kenyans together,” Salasya declared, adding that the decision was “a win for Kenyans in general” and pledged to campaign alongside him in Nairobi.“I will now camp in Nairobi to campaign for you.

Thursday, February 12, 2026 - Interior Cabinet Secretary, Kipchumba Murkomen, has ordered Inspector General of Police, Douglas Kanja, to develop a framework to deal with officers reporting to duty while intoxicated, following an incident where an Officer Commanding Station (OCS) attended a security meeting drunk.Addressing Members of Parliament on Thursday, February 12th, Murkomen admitted that drug and alcohol abuse is rampant among police officers.He revealed that two measures have been proposed to curb the problem.First, officers struggling with alcoholism will be taken to rehabilitation centers.“Out of compassion, those who are addicted to alcohol are meant to be taken to rehabilitation centres.”“What we agreed is that the IG will develop a framework to ensure that no officer will be deployed when drunk,” he said.However, Murkomen clarified that officers who undergo rehabilitation will be discharged from service.“If you are within the disciplined forces, you must accept that we will take you for rehabilitation, give you your dues, and discharge you,” he added.The CS further stressed accountability, warning that OCSs will be held responsible if they deploy officers under the influence.He cited the Karatina case where a police officer shot dead a businessman, insisting such tragedies could have been avoided.“It is not enough that the officer was charged and arrested; the OCS must be held accountable,” Murkomen declared.He also cautioned against deploying officers grappling with mental health challenges, family disputes, or marital problems, noting that these issues compromise discipline and public safety.

Thursday, February 12, 2026 - Detectives from the Banking Fraud Investigation Unit (BFIU) have arrested and arraigned cyberfraudster, Seth Mwabe Okwanyo, aka Seth Onyango Odhiambo, for orchestrating a fraudulent scheme that siphoned off Sh11.4 million from a leading microfinance institution.This action follows a formal complaint lodged by the Microfinance institution, detailing a shocking incident that occurred on July 16th, 2025.On that day, a total of thirty-eight (38) fraudulent transactions were executed through the institution’s System, resulting in a loss of Sh11,410,165.These transactions circumvented the company's internal visibility and control measures, raising serious concerns about security breaches.Dedicated investigators immediately sprang into action, uncovering that these thirty-eight transactions were absent from the microfinance institution records yet were flagged as successful to the recipients.This discrepancy indicated that the hackers had deliberately erased both system and database logs to cover their tracks.Further investigation revealed the unauthorised installation of a Java application in the system.With this malicious app, Seth Mwabe Okwanyo was able to manipulate the system to not only steal the funds but also launder them through various accomplices.In court, Seth faced multiple serious charges, including Unauthorised Access to a Computer System, Computer Fraud, and Money Laundering.He entered a plea of not guilty to all twenty counts. The court granted him bail, allowing his release on a bond of Sh1,500,000 or a cash bail of Sh500,000.The case is slated for mention on March 3rd, 2026, as authorities continue with their investigations to unravel this intricate web of cybercrime.
