There was drama at Madogo Police station in Tana River County on Thursday August 26 when eight prisoner officers stormed the police station demanding release of one of their own who had arrested for contravening curfew.

According to reports, the 8 officers who were being led by their inspector stormed the station, corked their guns and demanded the immediate release of their colleague.

Reports further indicate that the prison inspector tried to grab the Occurrence Book (OB) but the report office personnel were quick enough to stop him from doing so.

A scuffle then ensued as the police officers manning the report office desk attempted to evict him from the premises.

Police officers who were present raised an alarm, alerting their colleagues who responded swiftly.

One of the invading police officers fired his rifle to scare the rescue team.

Senior Gov’t Employee Accused Of Leaking Uhuru’s Intelligence Briefs Moved, But Itumbi Continues To ‘Declassify’

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

A senior government agency employee accused of leaking President Uhuru Kenyatta’s intelligence briefs to the Deputy President William Ruto’s rival camp has allegedly been moved.

Reports indicate that the employee was suspected of being a mole in President Kenyatta’s camp.

He was accused of leaking the contents of high-sensitive meetings to digital strategist Dennis Itumbi who has been leaking them through the now famous Hustler Nation Intelligence Bureau (HNIB).

The leakages worried a top government institution that said last week it had identified a key suspect, the senior agency employee who is said to have daily direct contact with President Kenyatta.

After he was moved, all leaks of intelligence briefs to the amorphous outfit abruptly stopped, but it looks that they have resumed.

Itumbi has continued to ‘declassify’ the briefs, with the latest on his social media accounts being the events leading to the withdrawal of GSU officers manning DP Ruto’s Karen residence who were on Thursday August 26 replaced by AP officers.

On Friday morning, Itumbi claimed that there is a Jubilee party parliamentary group meeting going on at State House, which is aimed at removing DP Ruto as Jubilee party deputy party leader.

Itumbi alleges that the plan is also to roll out anti-Ruto campaigns in Mt. Kenya. According to him, Uhuru allies from the region will be asked to start marketing ODM leader Raila Odinga in their region.

But who is now leaking these intelligence briefs to the rival camp now that the alleged mole was moved?

The leakages of the briefs started when President Kenyatta started meeting the former Prime Minister and Okoa Kenya Alliance (OKA) co-principals for a possible coalition ahead of 2022.

When President Kenyatta met Raila alongside ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Ford Kenya’s Moses Wetang’ula, Kanu’s Gideon Moi and Kakamega governor Wycliffe Oparanya in Mombasa about two weeks ago, Itumbi leaked the details of the meeting to the public, through his Facebook account.

Last week, Dailytrends.co.ke reported to you that a mole within Uhuru’s camp had been exposed for allegedly leaking the briefs.

He was accused of leaking the contents of high-level and sensitive meetings to an operative of the opposing camp.

A senior senator two weeks ago gave the alleged mole a dress-down and complained that when President Kenyatta  and ODM boss met alone early this month, there was no leakage.

But when the leader was privy to the deliberations of the delegation that met the President in Mombasa, all the details and speculation spilt out.

The senator told the leader to his face that he was holding brief for their opponents and that the time had come to blow his cover.

But do you think the real mole has really been identified by Uhuru’s camp now that the leakages are still on?

Kenyans Angered As Police Officers Accused Of Killing Kianjokoma Brothers Seek To Exhume Bodies

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Kenyans on Twitter have expressed mixed reactions after six police officers accused of killing the two Kianjokoma brothers filed a case seeking to exhume their bodies.

The police officers who are still in custody have filed a case through their lawyer Danstan Omari seeking to exhume the two bodies for a postmortem to be redone.

Benson Mbuthia, Consolota Kariuki, Nicholas Cheruiyot, Martin Wanyama, Lilian Cherono and James Mwanikiwere who were arrested after investigation agencies concluded their inquest now want a further inquest done before any charges are preferred against them.

They argue that when postmortem on the cause of death of the two deceased brothers Benson Njiru and Emmanuel Ndwiga was conducted, the petitioners chosen pathologists were not present.

It is their argument that while being ferried together with others and in the same police vehicle, the two brothers “in a suicidal act while escaping lawful custody jumped out of the moving police vehicle thus succumbing to injuries.”

However, their request to have the bodies exhumed has stirred mixed reactions from netizens.

A section of Kenyans on Twitter argue that the officers should stop disturbing the dead and let them rest in peace.

Others argue that this might be a well calculated move to frustrate the deceased’s parents so that they can give up on seeking justice for their two children.

Below are some of the reactions.

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

A prison Warder who was arrested by DCI detectives while allegedly on a mission to kill his girlfriend was not okay if his social media posts are anything to go by.

Edwin Omuse who disappeared from duty on Tuesday armed with a G3 rifle was arrested in Thika at his girlfriend’s house.

According to DCI, Omuse stormed out of Kangeta GK prison in Meru carrying the carefully concealed rifle in a sack.

The rifle, DCI say, had a magazine loaded with 20 rounds of ammo.

He was earlier overheard saying that he would travel to Thika to eliminate his girlfriend who had allegedly defrauded him Kshs. 900,000 that he had borrowed from a financial institution.

However, his social media posts that have hence emerged can tell that Omuse was not okay.

In one of his posts, Omuse posted agreeing to one of the relationship quotes that talks about rejection.

“When a woman rejects a man of a vision and accepts a man with a television, she will end up watching the man with a vision on her won husband’s television. Don’t judge a man by his pocket but judge him by his vision. Because where a man is going in life is more important than his present condition. Stay blessed,” reads the quote which Omuse concurred with.

He then in one of his posts posted a grave stone bearing his name.

In another post, he shared a photoshopped image of himself making headlines in newspers after becoming successful.

Another post was talking about his colleagues who seem to be giving him a hard time.

“Some colleagues of mine amaze me,.mtu anaingia kwako unafikiria Ako uzuri kumbe anachunguza nyumba Yako. Why don’t you mind your own business!! Hope you know yourself, shame on you!!” reads the post.

He again posted saying that something somewhere was not going well on his side.

He is currently in police custody awaiting arraignment in court.

written by Mustafa Juma

Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has fired a tough warning to all social media users in Kenya.

Dr. Matiang’i while speaking at a youth forum Jumuiya centre in Limuru cautioned netizens over fake news, insults and vulgar language.

He said that although Kenya is a Democratic country, a section of users were abusing social media freedom by spinning fake news.

Matiang’i said social media users should exercise caution, especially since Kenya is just months away  from its general election.

“The consequences of exceeding this freedom will be met with equal force,” Matiangi said.

He said Kenya is well prepared to conduct elections where no violence, displacement or destruction will be witnessed. He said the country had learnt from past elections.

“This forthcoming election will be a monumental one because there will be a transition.”

“We shall have the biggest number of youths taking part in this elections but we must remain on peaceful,” Matiang’i cautioned.

The CS further acknowledged that the Covid-19 pandemic was far from over and had affected many lives.

“We have lost many people. I have lost more than 10 chiefs across the country, trained educators and spiritual leaders. The threat is there and we should take all precautions to stop the disease,” Matiang’i said.

“Beware Of Fake COVID-19 Vaccines From Uganda,” Kenya Warned

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

The World Health Organization has warned Kenya to be aware of fake Covid-19 vaccines that are still circulating in Uganda.

WHO has urged Uganda’s neighbouring countries to be on the alert.

According to WHO, the products are falsified AstraZeneca vaccines which Serum Institute of India, manufacturer of the genuine ones, has confirmed to be fake.

“The falsified products were reported to WHO in July and August 2021,” WHO said in a statement.

“WHO requests increased vigilance within the supply chains of countries and regions likely to be affected by these falsified products.” 

No falsified vaccines have been reported in Kenya so far, but some health facilities have been charging illegally for the free vaccine, the Ministry of Health says.

“The DCI has moved in some facilities that have been illegally vaccinating people for Covid-19 and charging them for that vaccination and I would like to tell Kenyans that such exercises that are going on are illegal,” Health CS Mutahi Kagwe said last month when the fake products were first reported in Uganda.

He warned Kenyans against getting the Covid-19 vaccine from unauthorised facilities, especially those that claim to offer Covid-19 certificates.

“Chances are that you are not even being vaccinated with proper vaccines. There is every possibility that you are even being vaccinated with water and paying for it and therefore I want to warn the country and Kenyans at large first, vaccination in Kenya is free, nobody should be charging you for it,” he added.

The WHO requested authorities in Uganda and neighbouring regions to increase alertness.

In Kenya, all vaccines have so far been imported through the Covax facility and are administered in centres listed by the ministry.

In Uganda, the falsified vaccines were brought in when infections were high at 1,700 cases daily and there was a shortage of vaccines.

Last week, the Uganda State House Health Monitoring Unit, and the police revealed that over 800 people got injected with water, according to tests done by the country’s Directorate of Government Analytical Laboratory.

Uhuru Breaks Silence On Postponing 2022 General Election, Reveals This

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

President Uhuru Kenyatta has finally addressed claims that the 2022 general election may be postponed.

Speaking on Wednesday evening during an interview with editors at State House, Nairobi, Uhuru addressed reports that the next year’s general polls may be pushed forward following endless calls by the Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General, Francis Atwoli.

Atwoli has been calling for the state to push the polls forward in order to allow the BBI proponents to re-organise themselves.

However, President Kenyatta distanced himself from the claims.

“I have not heard of such discussions and I have no comments on it. How many times should I tell you that I am grateful to the people of Kenya for the chance they have given me to serve?”

“I am more than happy to serve my time and finish my program, bring the people together and ensure we have a peaceful stable united country,” he stated. 

Nonetheless, he cautioned that the Court of Appeal ruling declaring that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) lacked the quorum to conduct elections may jeopardise the 2022 race.

“In fact, if what the court ruled on BBI is anything to go by, then we cannot have the General Election owing to the IEBC composition. I do not want to comment on that. Let us wait and see what unfolds. I am ready for the election at the prescribed time as I have said several times,” he added. 

“So that is all I have to say on the issue – I am working on that election and transition schedule.”  

ODM leader Raila Odinga and deputy President William Ruto are among the leaders seeking to succeed President Kenyatta in 2022.

Others that have declared interest are ANC’s Musalia Mudavadi and Wiper’s Kalonzo Musyoka who are both in the Okoa Kenya Alliance (OKA).

Kanu’s Gideon Moi who is also an OKA co-principal has declared interest.

Others are Mukhisa Kituyi, National Assembly speaker Justin Muturi and Machakos Governor Dr Alfred Mutua.

written by Mustafa Juma

President Uhuru Kenyatta has dared his deputy Will Ruto to resign.

Speaking in an interview with editors on Monday August 23,2021 at State House, Nairobi, President Kenyatta said DP Ruto should quit if he is unhappy with the government he is serving.

The head of state faulted his deputy for criticizing the same government that he is serving.

“If you are unhappy you can leave. You cannot throw stones at the same house that you are leaving in,” president Kenyatta said.

DP Ruto has been on record attacking his boss in a number of his political rallies and church services.

Ruto has also been attacking the building bridges Initiative that was being spearheaded by Uhuru and ODM leader Raila Odinga.

Commenting on the ruling that was recently delivered by the appellate court declaring BBI null and void, President Kenyatta faulted the judgement but noted that he has respected the decision.

He further faulted DP Ruto for attacking the BBI process, which he noted that was meant to bring people of Kenya together.

“This is the same agenda we had with him..bringing the people of Kenya together. If the divisions of 2007 brought us together, the current divisions should be uniting us more,” President Kenyatta said.

DP Ruto is seeking to succeed President Kenyatta in 2022.

Whilst he is still serving as the DP in the Jubilee government, Ruto has formed his own party, the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) which he will use to seek the presidency in the next year’s general election.

He has openly been attacking Jubilee government over what he claims as failure.

The DP is now selling the bottom up economic model to Kenya s, arguing that the approach is the only solution to the ailing economy of the country.

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Members of parliament have summoned Equity Bank CEO James Mwangi over an alleged Ksh15 billion loan to Deputy President William Ruto Turkish associate Harun Aydin.

According to the letter addressed to Mwangi by Homa Bay Woman MP Gladys Wanga-led National Assembly Committee on Finance and Planning, he is supposed to appear before it on Wednesday.

He is set to shed light on the loan allegedly given to the Turk who was deported after being linked to terror and money laundering activities.

Ruto claimed that he made a phone call to Equity Bank to facilitate the loan for Mr Aydin to set up a vaccine manufacturing plant in Uganda.

“The purpose of this letter is to invite you to a meeting with the committee scheduled for August 25 in the mini-chamber,” reads a letter by the committee.

The MPs will be seeking to know whether the bank adhered to section 43 of the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-money Laundering Act while advancing the loan to Mr Aydin.

Also, the committee will seek understanding onwhether Mr Aydin holds or operates any accounts with Equity Bank and the particulars on the security used to guarantee the Ksh15 billion credit.

During his arrest, Aydin was in the company of a Ugandan businessman, Paul Bamutaze, who was also arrested and later deported to Kampala by road.

Bamutaze has apparently filed a case at the East African Court of Justice over remarks by ODM politicians against Uganda’s ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM).

Ruto claimed that Aydin was a victim of bad politics and not a terrorist.

He alluded that the businessman, who has a valid Kenyan work permit, was being frustrated by top government officials over links with him.

Harun was among businessmen and politicians who were scheduled to travel with Ruto in an aborted private trip to Uganda.

Barely two days after the Court of appeal upheld the High Court decision that declares the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) as null and void, Deputy President William Ruto is touring Mt Kenya region.

The second in command who has been in celebratory mood since the Court of appeal delivered its ruling on Friday August 20, 2021 is set to tour Mwea sub county, in Kirinyaga county, to preach his Hustler Nation Gospel.

The DP has been courting Mt. Kenya region in his bid to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta in the next year’s general election.

The self-proclaimed Hustler Nation spokesperson Dennis Itumbi on Sunday morning shared photos of DP Ruto and his allies at his Karen residence in Nairobi, saying that they were off to Mwea.

DP Ruto has been arguing that the constitutional amendment through BBI process was meant to block his presidential bid.

Celebrating the court of appeal ruling on Friday evening, Ruto prayed that God helps his team which he termed as the coalition of the unknown, rule Kenya and engineer her economy through the bottom up model.

Ruto believes that Kenya’s economy can only be reignited by using the bottom up economic approach.

This is the narrative that he has been selling to Kenyans, ad it is the same gospel that he will be preaching in Kirinyaga.

He believes that the economy can only be revived if the low-earning Kenyans, that is boda boda operators and mama mbogas are empowered.

Raila Breaks His Silence On BBI Ruling, Reveals Next Move

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga has broken his silence on the ruling made by the court of appeal on the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).

Taking to his official Twitter account on Friday evening, Raila said that the ruling is not the end of the conversation.

He noted that the parties involved will each make their own decisions on how to proceed from the decision that was delivered.

The former Prime Minister, however, revealed that he will move on.

He noted that the court’s decision is remarkable since it forms part of the continuing conversation to the political culture Kenyans will practice.

“It is likely that today’s Court of Appeal ruling is not the end of the conversation and the parties involved will each make their own decisions on how to proceed from the decision that has been delivered today. But we feel that we have to move on,” Raila tweeted.

The court of appeal on Friday upheld the high Court ruling declaring BBI process null and void.

The Appellate judges poked holes into the whole BBI process, accusing its promoters of failing to follow the right procedure.

Justices Daniel Musinga, Roselyn Nambuye, Hannah Okwengu, Patrick Kiage, Gatembu Kairu, Fatuma Sichale and Francis Tuiyott found that the process undermined the doctrine of the basic structure of the Constitution of Kenya 2010.

The judges outlined three major thematic areas that were highly contested including the basic structure doctrine, popular initiative and public participation. 

They noted that President Uhuru Kenyatta was the initiator of the BBI and that BBI was initiated by the political elite.
