So, what is the latest on the ODM party leader?

The patient travelled from the DRC, where he sought treatment at several health facilities before continuing his journey to Kenya.

After arriving in the country, he was admitted at different health facilities as his condition deteriorated.

The patient was eventually transferred to Nairobi, where he was admitted at Nairobi Hospital.

Despite efforts by medical teams to save his life, the patient died at the facility.

KTN’s reconstruction traces the key stages of his journey, the health facilities he visited, and the events leading to the confirmation of Kenya’s first imported Ebola case.

The alleged syndicate is said to involve Indian national Ashish Sha, a Parklands-based dealer in second-hand electronics who also installs LED screens in churches locally and abroad.

According to intelligence sources, Sha allegedly operates a network of individuals referred to as “spanner boys”, who are accused of stealing electronic equipment from unsuspecting victims before delivering the items to him for resale.

As part of an ongoing investigation, KTN obtained CCTV footage from cameras installed at the businessman’s Parklands residence as well as footage from churches where electronic equipment was delivered.

The footage appears to capture the movement and delivery of equipment worth millions of shillings, which investigators suspect could be stolen.

KTN’s investigation examines the alleged network, how the equipment is reportedly sourced and moved, and the questions raised by the surveillance footage.

KTN Crime and Investigative Journalist Lenox Sengre takes a closer look at the alleged syndicate and the trail of electronic equipment at the centre of the investigation.

The claims centre on the Suam border area, where a personal assistant to a Member of Parliament allied to the ruling UDA party was reportedly intercepted while allegedly transporting voter-registration materials across the border.

Sources cited in the investigation allege that Ugandan nationals were being targeted for possible registration as Kenyan voters, with the alleged operation potentially involving up to 100,000 votes.

The claims have also raised questions about the role of Kenya’s national registration authorities and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) in safeguarding the voters’ register.

However, the IEBC has denied allegations of illegal voter registration, voter transfers and the registration of foreign nationals, saying the claims are unsubstantiated.

The allegations and the competing accounts have prompted renewed scrutiny of cross-border registration and the measures in place to protect the integrity of the 2027 electoral process.

Sifuna is also facing a tight timeline set by the IEBC and the Registrar of Political Parties, with political parties required to complete registration, changes, rebranding and submission of party officials’ lists ahead of the October 15 deadline.

With time running out, questions are mounting over Sifuna’s next political move and whether he will secure a party vehicle in time to advance his ambitions ahead of the 2027 polls.

So, what next for Edwin Sifuna?

Speaking during a Jubilee Party National Executive Council meeting in Nairobi, Uhuru said he remained convinced Odinga had secured the votes after Jubilee joined his presidential campaign, suggesting that what happened after the ballot was cast changed the outcome, and that those who know what happened should tell the truth.

Justice Bahati Mwamuye's judgment comes barely a week after another High Court judge, Justice Lawrence Mugambi, upheld the same restriction, creating a rare conflict in judicial interpretation over former presidents' political rights.

Kenya started implementing the G-to-G deal in April 2023, in what the government has always maintained was aimed at stabilising the shilling that had weakened to historical lows.

Uhuru might have left office more than four years ago, but he is not leaving President William Ruto’s lips anytime soon, as his predecessor anchors his reelection campaign on bashing Uhuru at every opportunity.

The High Court barred retired President Uhuru Kenyatta from holding a political party office, while also nullifying the appointment of Moitalel Ole Kenta as Jubilee Party Secretary General.

The developments have further complicated the leadership and management of a party that once dominated Kenya’s political landscape.

Jubilee has also continued to lose sitting Members of Parliament to other political formations, weakening its presence in Parliament and raising questions about its ability to mount an effective political campaign ahead of the 2027 elections.

The leadership uncertainty presents a challenge for former Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr Fred Matiang’i, who is seeking to use Jubilee as a political vehicle for his 2027 presidential ambitions.

As the party navigates the legal battles and internal leadership disputes, attention is now turning to who will ultimately steer Jubilee and whether it can reorganize itself ahead of the next election.

Remarks by Siaya Governor James Orengo about his presidential ambitions have sparked fresh debate within the movement, with attention now turning to whether the outfit will settle on Orengo or its de facto leader, Edwin Sifuna.

The movement also faces a strategic dilemma over which political party will provide the vehicle for its presidential bid and whether to work with other opposition parties in its effort to challenge President William Ruto.

The leaders gathered at Jacaranda Grounds in Nairobi, where they called for the opposition to unite behind a single political front ahead of the 2027 General Election.

They said a united opposition would be better placed to mount a strong challenge against President William Ruto and his administration.

Along the perimeter fence of the Burundian Embassy in Nairobi, bedding, clothes and battered travel bags are scattered outside the gates, while several motorcycles squeezed into every available space stand as silent reminders of lives abruptly brought to a halt.

The survey also places President William Ruto, his administration and the police under scrutiny over violence witnessed during anti-government protests.

The findings point to deepening frustration among Kenyans with the government, with the latest results adding to a pattern of declining public confidence in the current administration.

The report comes amid continued debate over the government’s handling of protests, security and the broader concerns raised by citizens across the country.

Tobias Chanji reports on the latest TIFA findings and what they reveal about Kenyans’ growing concerns over the direction of the country.

The probe is now focusing on CCTV and other surveillance footage along the route of the incident, with investigators hoping to identify individuals and vehicles that could shed light on Kiprotich’s disappearance.

However, questions are emerging over the pace of the investigation and whether authorities have moved with the urgency expected in a case involving the alleged abduction of a journalist.

Our investigations team has been tracing the evidence from the scene of the incident to Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) offices and the Standard Group newsroom, uncovering fresh questions about surveillance footage that could help investigators establish what happened and identify those behind Kiprotich’s alleged abduction.

In Mowlem, Eastlands, at least 20 foreign-owned businesses have reportedly closed, with some owners leaving the area amid fears for their safety.

Fresh details have emerged of how leaders entrusted to put the interests of citizens first deliberately planned and executed one of the most daring goon attacks in a blatant abuse of constitutionalism and democracy.

Politicians from the DCP and Wiper Patriotic Front parties claim the government is increasingly concerned about scrutiny over its actions and alleged treatment of Kenyans who criticise the administration.

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has also alleged the existence of a security unit he believes is behind a series of abductions. The opposition is now demanding accountability and greater protection for journalists amid growing concerns over media freedom and safety.
