Ruto and Raila seek modifications to the country's constitutional foundations

In the political landscape of Kenya, several significant events are currently unfolding.

The dispute between Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi and Bishop Obanyi of the African Union Youth Alliance (AUYA) has taken centre stage, with the two figures locked in a disagreement over the payment of the Single Public Transport Operator (SHA) fees.

Meanwhile, the Nairobi County Assembly has initiated an impeachment process against Governor Johnson Sakaja, marking a potential turning point in the city's governance.

Elsewhere, the allies of Deputy President Ruto, including Senators Murkomen, Chirchir, and Duale, continue to hold a formidable position, remaining largely untouchable in the political arena.

In a call to action, there is a growing movement encouraging Kenyans to reclaim pleasure from guilt and silence, urging individuals to speak out and stand up for their rights.

Moving away from politics, universities across the country have announced reduced fees for freshers, aiming to make higher education more accessible. Unfortunately, there is no information available about any politician who has renounced or abstained during a vote on establishing a new constitution.

On the economic front, the August inflation rate has risen to 4.5%, a development attributed to the increase in prices of various goods and services.

In a bid to boost the fortunes of smallholder farmers, a dairy project worth Sh451.5 million has been launched. The project aims to provide farmers with the necessary resources and training to improve their dairy production and livelihoods.

On a tragic note, a Kenyan police officer lost his life in a road accident in Haiti, underscoring the risks faced by peacekeepers serving overseas.

Lastly, junior secondary teachers are demanding autonomy from primary schools, advocating for a more independent educational structure to better cater to the needs of older students.

These are just a few of the many news topics trending in Kenya, providing a snapshot of the diverse and dynamic nature of the country's current affairs. Stay tuned for more updates as these stories continue to develop.
