Moses Kuria has expressed his desire to contest for the Nairobi gubernatorial seat in 2026, with his opponents alleging that he is a project of Ruto aimed at fragmenting the votes from Mount Kenya.


The former Presidential Advisor and Cabinet Secretary has emerged as the latest political figure to announce his intention to challenge Johnson Sakaja for the role of Nairobi County Governor in 2027.

  Kuria, who previously served as the MP for Gatundu South, stated that his decision was influenced by President William Ruto’s recent expressions of dissatisfaction regarding the declining conditions in the capital city, which he attributed to widespread filth, uncollected waste, and overall incompetence. “Dear President William Ruto. Today you spoke to my heart. As Prime Minister Baba Raila Amolo Odinga has repeatedly told me, Nairobi cannot continue to be the City of filth, garbage, and incompetence. I have heard your plea. Therefore, I will present myself as a candidate for the Governorship of the esteemed County of Nairobi in 2027,” Kuria declared via his social media platforms. READ: ‘Nairobi cannot continue to be the city in the filth,’ – President Ruto On Sunday, President William Ruto unveiled a new collaboration between the national government and the Nairobi City County, aimed at addressing the ongoing challenges of garbage and waste management in the capital. He indicated that this joint effort would involve the participation of private sector entities to assist in waste collection and disposal throughout the city. “Nairobi cannot continue to be the city in the filth. You can see that we have already commenced the cleaning of the Nairobi River. Furthermore, all estates are nearing the completion of agreements with the private sector regarding our strategy to clean this city. It cannot persist in its current state,” the Head of State remarked during a Sunday Service commemorating the 70th anniversary of AIC Ziwani Church’s faith and dedicated service. This initiative arises amidst increasing worries about inadequate sanitation and waste buildup in various areas of Nairobi, which have adversely affected the city’s environment and public health.

Pressure is increasing on the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to relocate Principal Hellen Mabese Luhangala of Tengecha Girls High School

Image
As the third term approaches its conclusion, stakeholders at Tengecha Girls High School in Kericho County are fervently urging the TSC to facilitate the transfer of Principal Hellen Mabese Luhangala.   In a conversation with Citizen Daily News, conducted under strict anonymity due to concerns of retaliation, parents and certain members of the local community assert that Hellen has remained in her position for an extended period without any visible development projects to demonstrate her leadership. The local community is now requesting that the TSC appoint a new principal in January, ideally someone who is a “daughter of the soil.” They allege that she has become adept at leading through authoritarian methods, coercion, intimidation, and threats against those who oppose her alleged involvement in corrupt practices, which have resulted in the misappropriation of public funds during her tenure. Furthermore, it is reported that she employs intimidation tactics against members of th...

Image
  The most recent report from the Auditor General for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, has uncovered mismanagement at Enoomatasiani High School under the administration of Principal Tabitha Mbabu (TSC No. 224359). There are calls for her transfer over mismanagement and not very impressive academic excellence under her leadership. As per the report, the statement of receipts and payments indicates that the school's fund income from parents' contributions amounts to Kshs. 89,627,445, as detailed in Note 4 of the financial statements. An examination of the school's fee structure during the review period revealed that the school fees were raised beyond the limits set by the Ministry of Education (MOE), resulting in an unauthorized increase in annual fees of Kshs. 15,000 for form one students and Kshs. 18,000 for students in other classes. This action contravenes Regulation 44 of the Basic Education Regulations, 2015, which stipulates that no public school or instit...
