The cause of his death is yet to be made public. 

Shortly after the news broke, President William Ruto mourned him as a progressive leader who was dedicated to public service.

"Senator William Cheptumo was a progressive leader who was dedicated to public service. He was vocal, hardworking, and a tireless champion for the transformation of Baringo," the Head of State eulogised.

"The Cheptumo family, friends, and the people of Baringo County are in our thoughts and prayers. Rest In Peace, Mheshimiwa."

Before securing his maiden Senate seat in the 2022 General elections, Cheptumo served as  Baringo North Member of Parliament for 14 years.

To sections in the greater Rift Valley, the 57-year-old was famously known as the person who ended the Moi regime in Baringo, after flooring Gideon Moi in the 2022 polls, garnering 141,777 votes, to Moi's  71,408. 

In terms of his credentials, Cheptumo had an impressive CV, with extensive experience in law and governance. Between 1988 and 1991, he studied at the University of Nairobi where he attained a degree in Law.

His first venture into politics saw him take the legal route, working as the Industrial and Commercial Development Corporation (1993–1995) before proceeding to work at the Industrial and Commercial Development Corporation (1993–1995).

The 57-year-old also founded his own law firm - Cheptumo and Company Advocates -  which was active from 1998 to 2007.

His stint in government also saw him work as an executive in the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs between 2008 and 2013.

Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has been eliminated in his bid to become the next Chairperson of the African Union Commission (AUC). This ends his quest to become Africa's top boss.

In the vote conducted on Saturday, February 15, Raila was narrowly eliminated from his bid to replace Moussa Faki in the sixth round. This is the second loss for Kenya at the regional body.

Mahmoud Ali Youssouf of Djibouti has been voted the seventh African Union Commission (AUC) Chairperson since its establishment in 2002. The other candidate, Richard Randriamandrato of Madagascar, finished last.

He won the elections in the seventh round after Raila was eliminated. Youssouf garnered 33 votes to clinch the seat for the next four years.

Youssouf sought to replace Moussa Faki, who served for two terms. Youssouf will serve for a term of four years, with the possibility of re-election for one additional term for a maximum of two terms or eight years in total.

Before the elections, Raila’s campaign team had indicated he had support from at least 21 countries. However, he took an early lead, garnering 20 votes in the hotly contested election, before making it through to the second, third, fourth, and fifth rounds.

Backed by President William Ruto, Raila campaigned through the continent and accompanied the head of state on various foreign trips where other African leaders were invited to drum up support. Before the elections, Raila’s campaign team had indicated he had support from at least 21 countries.

How the election was done

In round three, Raila dropped to second with 20 votes, Mahamoud Ali Youssouf won the round with 23 votes, and Richard Randriamandrato dropped out of the race with 5 votes.

Round four was no different, with Youssouf winning with 25 votes, Raila had 21 votes, one spoilt vote reported, and two abstentions.

The fifth round offered hope for Raila, and he earned 21 votes, with Youssouf gaining one more to 26 votes. No spoilt votes were reported, but there were two abstentions.

In what became the last blow for Raila, the sixth round, Youssouf once again took the lead with 26 votes, with Raila jumping to 22. This was not enough to keep Raila in the race. 

Under the African Union Commission election rules, a candidate is withdrawn from the race if neither candidate obtains the majority required. The candidate with fewer votes is withdrawn, and the remaining candidate proceeds to the next round. 

This is the second time Kenya has lost its bid to lead the continent. In 2017, Kenya’s Amina Mohamed garnered 16 votes in the first round against Moussa Faki’s 14. The remaining votes were split among the other candidates.

Faki was elected in the seventh round with 38 votes, surpassing the required threshold. Kenya struggled to secure support from its EAC neighbours, Tanzania, Uganda, and Burundi.

The Energy Petroleum and Regulatory Authority (EPRA) on Friday, February 14, announced the prices of Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene remained unchanged for the next month.

“In the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum prices for Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene remain unchanged,” EPRA noted.

As a result, prices of Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene will continue to retail at Ksh176.58, Ksh167.06, and Ksh151.39 respectively. This is constant with the fuel prices since the previous fuel review by the regulatory body.

"The prices are inclusive of the 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) in line with the provisions of the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024 and the revised rates for excise duty adjusted for inflation as per Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020," EPRA stated.

 EPRA noted that the calculated maximum retail prices for petroleum products would be in force for the next 30 days from Saturday, February 15 to March 14.

Despite the fuel prices remaining stable, the regulatory body informed that the average landing cost of imported of Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene all increased. 

"The average landed cost of imported Super Petrol increased by 2.80% from $611.69 per cubic metre in December 2024 to $628.80 per cubic metre in January 2025; Diesel increased by 4.20% from $644.10 per cubic metre to $671.14 per cubic metre while Kerosene increased by 4.89% from $649.64 per cubic metre to $681.44 per cubic metre over the same period," EPRA noted.

The fuel prices around several major cities and towns across are set to vary with Nairobi retaining the standard retail fuel price.

In Mombasa, prices of Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene will retail at Ksh173.34, Ksh163.82, and Ksh148.15 respectively. 

Fuel prices of Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene in Kisumu will retail at Ksh176.62, Ksh167.44 and Ksh158.82 respectively. 

Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene in Eldoret will retail at Ksh176.62, Ksh167.45, and Ksh151.82 respectively. In Nakuru, Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene are priced at Ksh175.80, Ksh166.63 and Ksh151.01 respectively.

The latest fuel prices come as a bit of a surprise after EPRA Director General Daniel Kiptoo warned of an increase in fuel prices in the upcoming review.

Kiptoo, while speaking to Citizen TV on Wednesday, February 12, revealed that the price increase would have been due to a surge in global crude oil prices in January.

“We did have a bit of a spike in international prices sometime in early January, and it's because of certain geopolitical factors. Some sanctions were put on Russian products by the outgoing US administration, but those sanctions have not been lifted,” stated Kiptoo.

In January, global oil prices experienced a notable surge. Brent crude futures climbed to a four-month high of $81 per barrel (about Ksh10,465 in the current exchange rates) by mid-month, marking an increase of approximately $8 (about Ksh1,033 in the current exchange rates) from the previous month.

Former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu was on Thursday sentenced to 12 years in prison or pay a fine of Ksh53.5 million. 

Waititu was sentenced to serve 5 years in jail or pay a fine of Ksh2.5 million. Additionally, the court posed a mandatory fine of Ksh51 million in default to serve another 7 years in prison after he was convicted for irregularly awarding tenders in Kiambu County in February 2018 during his tenure as the County boss.

Milimani Anti-Corruption Court Chief Magistrate Thomas Nzioki also directed that Waititu's wife Susan Wangare pay a fine of Ksh500,000 or serve a sentence of one year in prison. However, the magistrate directed that the terms will run concurrently. 

Further, the magistrate found that the conduct of Waititu could not be forgiven since his acts undermined the tenets of good governance.

''This case is a typical example of a breach of public trust by the former Governor and the co-accused. The offending acts of the accused persons were deliberate, inexcusable, and undermine the tenants of good governance,'' Nzioka stated.

''In this case, the conduct of the accused persons shows that they derived benefits from their criminal actions. Their common motive was enrichment from public funds at the expense of service delivery to the people,'' Nzioka ruled.

Luka Mwangi Wahinya (former Chief Officer, Roads, Transport, Public Works and Utilities) was ordered to serve 2 years in prison or pay a fine of Ksh1 million shillings and a mandatory fine of Ksh20 million in default to serve 5 years in prison.

Furthermore, the directors of Testimony Enterprises Limited Charles Chege Mbuthia and Beth Wangeci Mburu were jailed for 4 years or pay a fine of Ksh2 million shillings with a mandatory fine of Ksh294 million and 3 years in jail or pay a fine of Ksh1.4 million shillings respectively.

The Chief Magistrate also faulted the accused over the forgery of academic documents including certificates, pointing out that it was not in good taste at a time when young people are faced with unemployment. 

''A matter of concern to me is the deliberate misrepresentation and forgery of academic credentials of young graduates and at a time when unemployment is a challenge to the society,'' he added.

Also, the court barred Waititu, wife, and the co-accused from serving in any public office for ten years. 

Meanwhile, Nzioka ordered that key documents that had been confiscated by the prosecution during the investigations, including passports, cash bail, and title deeds, be returned to the accused.

Additionally, he directed that Waititu and the co-accused be given a 14-day window to appeal both the ruling and the judgment.

The sentencing follows a ruling on Wednesday where the Chief Magistrate found Waititu, together with the co-accused, guilty of having committed several crimes on various accounts among them a conflict of interest, award of tenders without the approval of the County Assembly of Kiambu, and forgery of documents among others.

During the ruling, Waititu was found guilty of conflict of interest and dealing with suspect property. 

Following the ruling on Wednesday, Waititu together with the convicted persons had pleaded for a non-custodial sentence, arguing that they had suffered immensely since their arraignment and deserved a second chance.

Former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu has been found guilty of having committed two offences in the years-long Ksh588 million graft case.

Appearing before the Millimani Anti-Corruption Court Chief Magistrate Thomas Nzioki on Wednesday, Waititu, together with the co-accused, was found guilty of having committed several crimes on various accounts among them a conflict of interest, award of tenders without the approval of the County Assembly, and forgery of documents among others. 

During the ruling, Waititu was found guilty of conflict of interest and dealing with suspect property.

''With regards to those offenses as charged, I find the accused persons guilty as charged,'' Chief Magistrate Nzioka ruled. Waititu was accused alongside, among others, his wife Susan Wangari.

The Chief Magistrate based his ruling on 12 accounts, most of which he found that the former Governor, together with his co-accused, were liable for subversion of the law.  

''Count one, first accused person (Waititu) guilty, count two, first accused person and Saika Two Estate Developers Limited guilty, count three, first accused person and Saika Two Developers limited guilty,'' read part of Nzioka's ruling.

''Inevitable conclusion, the first accused person you are viable in count number one for conflict of interest by acquiring an indirect person of interest accumulated sum of Ksh25 million.''

Chief Magistrate Nzioki, who initially found the accused with a case to answer in September 2022, ruled that Waititu, along with his wife and other county officials, were, however, acquitted of money laundering charges.

''With regards to offence of money laundering, contrary to section 311 in Roman as read with 16 and accounts 10, 11 and 13, I find the accused persons not guilty and I acquit them under the provision of section 215.''

Additionally, they were charged with fraud, conflict of interest, dealing with suspect property, money laundering, and abuse of office arising from the fraudulent award of tenders to a company owned by the Waititu family.

During the ruling, the Magistrate dismissed earlier claims by the former county boss that the case was politically motivated.

He assured the accused that he had thoroughly reviewed the documents submitted by both the prosecution and the defense and found no evidence of a political agenda.

President William Ruto has finally appointed the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission(IEBC) selection panel to oversee the process of selecting IEBC Commissioners.

The appointment was made via a Special Gazette Notice published on Monday after nearly a 3-year delay that caused political upheaval. The appointment process was delayed by numerous court cases and political disputes.

In a gazette notice, President Ruto appointed Kiome Lindah Gakii, Communication professional Oloo Adams, James Evans Misati, Nicodemus Kipchirchir Bore, Ambassador Koki Muli, Grignon Carolene Kituku, Tanui Andrew Kipkoech, Nelson Makanda and Fatuma Saman to be members of the panel.

"In exercise of the powers conferred by section 7A of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Act, as read with paragraph 1 (2) of the First Schedule to the Act, I, William Samoei Ruto, President of the Republic of Kenya and Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Forces, appoint (the 9-member team) to be Members of the Selection Panel for the Recruitment of nominees for appointment as the Chairperson and Members of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission," read the notice in part.

The Head of State further revoked an earlier notice of selection panel appointments that had been Gazetted in 2023.

The nine appointees are set to be sworn into office at the Supreme Court Building in Nairobi on Monday at 9:00 am.

The appointment of the nine panellists comes just two days after the High Court in Kiambu dismissed a petition challenging the constitution of the IEBC Commissioners Selection Panel.

The court ruled that the petitioner, Bonface Njogu, failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove that persons with disabilities were excluded from the panel's empanelment.

In her ruling, Justice Dola Chepkwony further dismissed a petition challenging Azimio’s nomination process, saying the claim that the coalition failed to conduct a competitive and open recruitment exercise could not be substantiated.

There has been push and pull between the government and the opposition on the constitution of the selection panel, with Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka blaming the government for deliberately delaying the process to interfere with the outcomes of the 2027 elections.

The appointment of Adams Oloo to the IEBC Selection Panel is expected to ignite debate. On Sunday, Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Secretary General Edwin Sifuna disclosed plans to challenge Oloo's inclusion alleging that he currently serves as a communication adviser in President Ruto's government.

The appointment of the IEBC Selection Panel marks a significant step toward recruiting seven commissioners who will oversee the facilitation of elections across the country.

As mandated by law, the commission must comprise commissioners and a secretariat led by the secretary to effectively carry out its functions.

Upon swearing in, the panel will embark on the constitution of the IEBC Commission, which is expected to immediately organize for the pending byelections and set in place the 2027 general elections strategy.

Currently, there are 11 electoral areas in need of by-elections for the National Assembly; with seven pending by-elections arising from the deaths of areas Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) while others resulted from President William Ruto elevating former Ugunja MP Opiyo Wandayi and former Nominated MP John Mbadi to his Cabinet.

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) on Tuesday, January 14, increased the prices of Super Petrol, Kerosene, and Diesel in its latest fuel review.

In its announcement, the regulator noted that the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene increased by Ksh0.29 per litre, Ksh2.0 per litre, and Ksh3.0 per litre respectively.

This means that the prices of Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene will now retail at Ksh176.58, Diesel at Ksh167.06, and Kerosene at Ksh151.39 respectively.

"The prices are inclusive of the 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) in line with the provisions of the Finance Act 2025, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024, and the revised rates for excise duty adjusted for inflation as per Legal Notice No. 194 of 2000," read the statement in part.

According to EPRA, the increase in petroleum prices was informed by several factors key among them, the increase in the landed cost of imported diesel. However, the landed cost of super petrol and kerosene decreased, despite the upward trend in the latest prices.

"The average landed cost of imported Super Petrol decreased by 0.54% from 55612.93 per cubic metre in November 2024 to US$611.69 per cubic metre in December 2024; Diesel Increased by 0.06% from US$643.69 per cubic metre to US$654.10 per cubic metre while Kerosene decreased by 12% from US$660.30 per cubic metre to US$619.64 per cubic metre over the same period."

EPRA noted that the calculated maximum retail prices for petroleum products would be in force for the next 30 days from Wednesday, January 15 to February 14.

The announcement comes as a shock for most Kenyans who had hoped that the prices would remain the same as last month. This was mainly because of the stability of the Shilling. 

This means that Kenyans will have to dig slightly deeper into their pockets even as there are fears of inflation, informed by the global inflation trends recorded within the last week.

''Concerns about inflation in advanced economies persisted during the week ending January 10, 2025. Inflation in the Euro Area increased to 2.4 per cent in December 2024 from 2.2 per cent in November signalling continued price pressures,'' data from the CBK stated in part.

Additionally, development comes as the Kenyan Shilling remains stable against major international and regional currencies. According to data from the Central Bank of Kenya, the Shilling traded at KSh 129.47 per US dollar during the week ending January 9, 2025.

The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), in its weekly bulletin released on Friday, January 9, reported that international oil prices remained stable during the week. However, the price of Murban oil recorded a slight increase, trading at USD 77.75( KSh10,066.29) per barrel as of January 9, 2025.

The bodies of the three were seen lying on the side of the road, not far from the wreckage of the plane. 

A motorcycle, reportedly the one they were riding, was found lying on the ground nearby.

The plane is said to have landed near a new hotel that was yet to open, close to where several motorcycles were parked. Videos shared with Kenyans.co.ke showed parts of nearby buildings along the highway had also caught fire.

First responders, including firefighters and ambulances, were at the scene. Photos shared with this publication showed hundreds of residents gathered to witness the incident.

The accident caused a significant traffic snarl-up along the busy highway.

The cause of the crash and the number of people on board the plane were not immediately known. 

Over the past year, three other plane crashes had been reported. Among them was the crash in April 2023 that claimed the lives of the Chief of Defence Forces, General Francis Ogolla, and nine other military officers.

On September 16 2023, a chartered flight carrying ten passengers and one crew member crashed during takeoff in Migori. Fortunately, no injuries or fatalities were reported.

In March, a commercial plane, a De Havilland Canada Dash 8, collided mid-air with a Cessna 172M training aircraft over Nairobi National Park. The Dash 8 returned safely to Wilson Airport with all 44 passengers unharmed. Tragically, the Cessna crashed, killing both occupants.

Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba on Thursday, January 9, released the 2024 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KSCE) exam results at the Mitihani House in Nairobi.

CS Ogamba revealed that a total of 962,512 sat for the nationwide examination that concluded on November 22, 2024.

According to KNEC CEO David Njegere this number was a 7.19 per cent increase, a rare record that was last recorded in 2020. It is an increase from 899,453 students who sat for the same examination in 2023.

In his announcement, Ogamba announced that 17 subjects, including Maths, Biology, Physics, and Chemistry, recorded improvements while 10 subjects, including English and Home Science, recorded drops in performance.

He further noted that a total of 246,391 scored direct entry to university grades of above C+ compared to 201,133 in 2023. He, however, confirmed that results for 2,829 candidates were withheld pending completion of investigations over malpractices. 91 teachers are facing disciplinary action over malpractices.

The total number of examination results cancelled for irregularities was 840.

On the other hand, Njegere noted that the 2024 exercise did not report earlier exposure to the examination papers due to new technology stating, "This year, we did not have a single case of early exposure to the examination materials."

While releasing the exams, Ogamba noted that for the first time, the Ministry will introduce mid-year tests for individuals wishing to repeat KCSE exams.

"Starting this year and following extensive stakeholder consultation, I wish to announce that KNEC will introduce a mid-year series of the KCSE examination. It will target candidates wishing to repeat the examination," he stated.

For the first time since the inception of KCSE, the female candidates were more than the male candidates recording 482,202 girls to 480,310 boys.

In the lead-up to Thursday's release of the results, President William Ruto expressed his optimism in the education system, stating that he had noted an increase in the number of girls enrolled in school.

"Consequently, performance is improving in schools all over the country. More girls, for instance, are now enrolling and completing their schooling," he stated.

President William Ruto has expanded the mandate of three cabinet secretaries by reassigning them more dockets on Saturday, December 28.

PCS Musalia Mudavadi, who doubles as Foreign CS, will now handle the Information, Communication, and Digital Economy while Aden Duale, who is in charge of the Environment, will handle the Agriculture Ministry.

Salim Mvurya, who was transferred to the Sports docket, will also handle the Trade Ministry as the Cabinet continues to reposition itself.

In a press statement, Chief of Staff Felix Koskei explained that the changes were necessary to keep the executive running after changes effected by the Head of State before Christmas.

"Following the changes effected within Cabinet on December 19, 2024, and as the Cabinet Secretary nominees undergo the requisite parliamentary approval process, His Excellency the President has assigned acting Cabinet Secretaries to the vacant ministerial portfolios,"  read the notice in part.

"In that regard, it is notified that the Head of State and Government has pursuant to Article 152(5)(a) of the Constitution, assigned the vacant ministerial portfolios to the following Cabinet Secretaries in an acting capacity," the notice added.

The realignment follows the recent Cabinet reshuffle where Ruto nominated Mutahi Kagwe (Agriculture), Lee Kinyanjui(Trade), and William Kabogo(Information) as CSs pending parliamentary approval.

In the meantime, Mudavadi, Duale and Mvurya are set to steady the ship before the three leaders appear before a Parliamentary committee for vetting on January 14, 2025. The session with the Appointments Committee will begin at noon with former Health CS Kagwe, followed by Kabogo at 3 pm.

Former Nakuru Governor Kinyanjui's grilling session will begin at 5 pm rounding off the vetting of the three leaders.

The three, who are leaders allied to former President Uhuru Kenyatta are believed to be the results of a meeting between Uhuru and his predecessor Ruto, dubbed the 'Ichaweri Summit'.  Political observers pointed to the meeting as Ruto co-opted Uhuru into his administration to form a 'super broad-based government'.   

This was after the inclusion of leaders allied to Raila Odinga in the aftermath of the July-August Gen Z protests that triggered the formation of a broad-based government. Ruto defended the move to nominate Uhuru's allies terming it as a great step towards fostering unity amongst Kenyans.

While speaking during a past church service at AIC Kipkorgot in Uasin Gishu, he expressed confidence in the nominees, emphasizing that they would play a crucial role in helping the government address critical issues affecting Kenyans.
