    Deputy President William Ruto has told off his critics who continue to accuse him of absconding his duties after he missed the Covid-19 Conference held at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) on Monday.

    Speaking on Wednesday at his Karen residence where he hosted a delegation of women in business from Nairobi County, the DP dismissed the critics as busybodies saying President Uhuru has not complained about his work.

    Ruto said he has not neglected his duties as claimed further adding that he has always executed all the work given to him by the Head of State with distinction.

    “No work has been given to me and I failed to execute,” he said.

    “Who are they to complain about my work? Who made them my supervisors?”

    Ruto said he doesn’t need supervision as he knows his work, “and my boss has not complained about my performance”.

    Over the recent past, lawmakers allied to President Kenyatta have accused the DP, who has been hosting leaders from various parts of the country at his Karen residence, of engaging in early campaigns instead of serving Kenyans.

    The DP has been dishing out goodies to the youth and women in what he terms as empowerment.

    Nominated Senator Millicent Omanga and former Starehe MP Margaret Wanjiru are among women leaders who attended today’s meeting at the DP’s residence.

    A man was shot dead in the early hours of Tuesday morning following a violent confrontation between police officers and armed suspects in Modika area along the Modika–Dadaab road in Garissa County. According to police the incident occurred at around 2:00 a.m. when officers on patrol intercepted a Toyota Probox suspected to be ferrying uncustomised goods. The driver of the vehicle was arrested and was being interrogated when the situation escalated. Garissa police commander John Nzioka said the incident is under probe. He said they had invited the Independent Policing Oversight Authority to investigate the matter. “We will give IPOA all the support they need to investigate this matter,” he said. This followed a protest in the area by locals who demanded justice for the shooting. The locals said the victim was innocent and demanded action to ensure accountability. Police said after a driver was stopped, a second Toyota Probox carrying about nine occupants approached the scene. The group, reportedly armed with a rifle and machetes, attacked the officers, prompting them to fire warning shots in the air as they withdrew from the scene. A follow-up visit by senior officers and crime scene investigators confirmed that one man, identified as Adan Mohamed Hassan, aged approximately 32, had sustained a gunshot wound to the head and died at the scene. The body was moved to Garissa County Referral Hospital Mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination. The news spread prompting the protests. Meanwhile, police in Marsabit County launched investigations into the fatal shooting of a 35-year-old man during a robbery incident at Merille market in Laisamis Sub-county. According to police, the incident occurred at around 4:00 a.m. on April 21, 2026. The deceased, identified as Elius Iribae, had travelled from Nairobi in the company of another individual to purchase goats at the market. Police said the pair had just alighted from a lorry at Merille market when a gunman armed with a rifle shot Iribae in the back. He collapsed and died on the spot due to excessive bleeding. The attacker reportedly stole an unspecified amount of money during the incident. However, officers later recovered Sh298,300 in cash believed to be linked to the robbery, as well as a Tecno smartphone. The body of the deceased was moved to Laisamis Sub-County Hospital Mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination. The scene was visited by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Marsabit South, officers from the General Service Unit (GSU) based in Merille, and personnel from Merille Police Post. Authorities are pursuing the armed suspect as investigations into the killing continue.
