The police investigations revealed the four men who were shot dead along the Eldoret–Kiplombe–Soy Road in Eldoret are linked to the murder of Nakuru PCEA cleric Reverend Julius Ndumia. This was after investigations forensically placed the gang at the site where Rev Ndumia was murdered on May 3, 2026, at PCEA Tabuga Church in Nakuru North Sub-County, officials aware of the case said. The gang also stole cash from the victim. Some of the attackers wore military uniforms during the attack.

US President Donald Trump has said the ceasefire agreement with Iran is “over”, blasting the country’s leadership as “scum” and “cuckoo” after fresh exchanges of fire overnight.

A senior adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Akbar Velayati, warned new…
A judge has ordered that writer E Jean Carroll be paid the more than $5m (£3.7m) US President Donald Trump owes her after he was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming her in a civil case three years ago. Judge Lewis Kaplan on Wednesday ordered that a clerk release the money – with interest – from an account where Trump deposited it after the ruling. Trump was pushing to delay the $5.8m payment to ask the Supreme Court to reconsider its decision not to hear an appeal of the case. In May 2023, a New York jury awarded Carroll…

US President Donald Trump used the Nato summit in Ankara to lash out again at fellow member Spain, and revive his interest in taking over Greenland. Speaking as Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte looked on, Trump said he wanted to cut off all trade relations with Spain, condemning his European ally as a “wasted cause” and “terrible partner in Nato”. He also called Nato’s resistance to his plan for Greenland to belong to the US, rather than Denmark, as “a big problem for us”. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez later insisted that relations with the US were “very positive”, and…

Agriculture and Livestock Development Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe has warned that the growing misuse of veterinary medicines is fueling antimicrobial resistance (AMR), posing a major threat to public health and risking Kenya’s access to lucrative international meat markets. Speaking at the opening of the Kenya Meat Conference 2026 in Nyeri, Kagwe said antimicrobial resistance has evolved from a veterinary concern into a national economic, food security and public health challenge. He cited global estimates linking AMR to about 5.5 million deaths annually, noting that Kenya is among the countries significantly affected. “If left unchecked, antimicrobial resistance threatens not only human…
A petition was filed at the Milimani Law Courts seeking to bar National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula and Senate Speaker Amason Kingi from participating in partisan political campaigns while serving in their constitutional offices. The constitutional petition, filed by Vocal Africa through lawyer Ian Mutiso Mbotela, argues that the two Speakers have breached the Constitution and various statutes by using the authority, prestige and influence of their offices to campaign for President William Ruto’s re-election and promote the Kenya Kwanza coalition. According to the petition, Wetang’ula participated in several political events between June and July this year, including a rally…
There are no shortage of great distances and different cities in Canada. The execution of a project in Montreal is quite different from the implementation of one in Calgary. Moving to Vancouver comes with a lifestyle that surprises even those who are veterans of the field. Despite all these differences however, there has been a longstanding tradition in business travel that for weeks or months away in any city, the standard living arrangement was the same. It was the hotel room. That default is changing. Across every major Canadian market – and increasingly in Latin American cities where Canadian companies…

The Director of Public Prosecutions, Renson Ingonga, has called for intensified public awareness campaigns and community empowerment initiatives to curb the growing threat of human trafficking, warning that criminal networks are increasingly exploiting technology and a lack of public knowledge to target vulnerable people. Speaking during a meeting with Marco Bufo, Regional Coordinator for CIVIPOL, a technical cooperation agency under the French Ministry of the Interior, Ingonga said prosecutions alone would not be enough to defeat traffickers. “The fight against trafficking in persons cannot be won through prosecutions alone. We must empower communities with the knowledge to recognize the warning…

Medical evacuations of wounded South Sudanese rose by 50 percent in the first half of 2026, the International Committee of the Red Cross said on Tuesday, as deadly conflict continued to limit access to healthcare in the country.

The ICRC said it evacuated 266 wounded people across South Sudan between January and June, marking a 50 percent increase from the same period last year. “The…
