Acting on precise intelligence, anti-narcotics detectives, supported by the Operations Support Unit, halted the Score Investment Ltd bus at the Blue Post section of Thika. Their thorough search led to the discovery of 417g of cocaine concealed beneath the inner soles of a passenger's rubber shoes. The arrested individual, identified as 24-year-old Charles Obaga Kavehere, was immediately apprehended.

Julius Masinde, a former senatorial candidate and advocate for heightened senatorial standards. Masinde's recent expressions of disappointment towards the current senator shed light on the pressing need for enhanced representation in the Senate, urging the people of Bungoma to elevate their expectations and demand accountability from their elected officials.

In the heart of Kimilili, a mother’s cry echoes through the community. Susan Chemutai, a single mother of three from Mkulima in Kimilili Constituency of Bungoma county, faces a daunting battle against a swelling lump in her neck. With each passing day, her condition worsens, and the weight of responsibility grows heavier on her shoulders.

  In today's dynamic political landscape, young people are increasingly targeted for political manipulation. Whether through misinformation campaigns, polarizing rhetoric, or manipulation of social media, the youth are often seen as easy targets. However, it's crucial for the younger generation to recognize the importance of saying no to political manipulation and taking control of their own narrative. Firstly, succumbing to political manipulation undermines the very essence of democracy. Youth engagement in politics is vital for the health of any democracy, but when that engagement is tainted by manipulation, it distorts the democratic process. By resisting manipulation, young people uphold the principles of transparency, accountability, and fairness in governance. Secondly, succumbing to manipulation perpetuates the cycle of division and polarization. Political manipulators thrive on creating rifts within society, pitting one group against another for their own gain. By rejec

  The local Sweet Potatoes, popularly known as "Libwoni" in the Luhya land In the labyrinth of modern society, the intertwining of politics and religion has become a constant source of debate and contention. Nowhere is this more evident than in the relationship between politics and the church. While some argue for a clear separation between the two, others advocate for a more collaborative approach. At the heart of this debate lies the question of where the boundaries between church and state should lie. On one hand, there are those who believe that religion should have no place in politics, arguing that a secular government is essential for ensuring equality and safeguarding individual freedoms. They argue that the state should remain neutral on matters of religion, allowing citizens to practice their faith freely without interference. On the other hand, there are those who argue that the church has a moral obligation to engage in political issues, particularly those that al
