Presidents' Challenges against the U.S. Constitution Unveiled

In the vibrant landscape of Kenyan politics, several key events have taken place over the past week.

Firstly, the allies of Deputy President Ruto - Murkomen, Chirchir, and Duale - have managed to retain their seats despite a series of blunders. Their resilience in the political arena continues to be a talking point among Kenyans.

Meanwhile, a war of words has erupted between Mudavadi and Bishop Obanyi over the SHA payment. The details of this dispute are yet to be fully disclosed, but it certainly adds another layer of intrigue to the political scene.

Moving away from politics, a culinary delight has been making waves - Swahili beef biryani. This easy recipe is quickly becoming a favourite among food enthusiasts, promising a flavourful and satisfying meal.

On the international front, Omar Bashir, the then-President of Sudan, made a notable appearance in Kenya in 2010. He attended the announcement of the new constitution as a distinguished international guest.

In an effort to boost the fortunes of smallholder farmers, a dairy project worth Sh451.5m is in the pipeline. This project is expected to provide significant support to the farming community.

Local governance has seen its share of drama, with Nairobi MCAs launching an impeachment bid against Governor Sakaja. The details of this move and its implications for the city are still unfolding.

Tragically, a Kenyan police officer has lost his life in a road accident in Haiti. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time.

Political tensions also extend to the border, with Gachagua suggesting the expulsion of the Jubaland army from Kenya. This proposal, if implemented, could have far-reaching consequences for both nations.

The education sector is not left out of the action. Junior secondary teachers are demanding autonomy from primary schools, while universities have rolled out reduced fees for freshers. These developments could shape the future of education in Kenya.

Lastly, August inflation has seen a slight increase to 4.5%. This figure, while not alarming, is being closely monitored by economists and policymakers alike.

These are just a few of the headlines making waves in Kenya today. As always, we will continue to bring you the latest news and developments as they unfold.
