A new survey by research firm TIFA has revealed a sharp drop in loyalty to Kenya’s main political parties, with many voters now preferring to remain undecided. The survey, titled “Current Political and 2027 Election Issues” and released on September 24, 2025, shows that the number of Kenyans in the “Undecided/None” category has risen dramatically from 15 percent to 43 percent.

The National Assembly has received a petition seeking changes to the Consumer Protection Act to strengthen the in duplum rule, a safeguard meant to stop borrowers from paying interest charges that exceed the amount of the original loan. Speaker Moses Wetang’ula told MPs that the petition was filed by Senior Counsel Allen Waiaki Kishore of Mwai & Allen Advocates. Kishore argues that although Section 44A of the Banking Act already provides for the in duplum rule — which states that “interest on a loan ceases to accrue once it equals the outstanding principal amount when a loan becomes non-performing” —…
