A senior delegation from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party is in China for a high-level benchmarking mission aimed at laying the groundwork for the official launch of the UDA Leadership School, a key pillar in the party’s long-term institutional development agenda. As the UDA Leadership School nears its launch, party leaders say it is critical to learn from political institutions that have demonstrated longevity, discipline and ideological clarity.

[PCS]Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has urged leaders and residents of Western region to stop internal political disagreements and unite under the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), warning that the region risks being politically overtaken if it delays. He cautioned Western leaders against endless debates over party choices, arguing that such divisions would cost the region influence at the national level. “Here in Western, we are still asking questions when I tell you to unite and join UDA. Mudavadi dismissed claims by some leaders that alternative parties offered better political vehicles than UDA, saying such thinking only weakened the region’s bargaining power. On the court rulling over the dissolution of ANC to UDA, Mudavadi said the ruling is an exercise in futility.

The conspicuous silence of front-lane adherents of the so-called Tawe Movement in Western Kenya after the last November 27 Malava by-election is deafening indeed. Two months since the mini-poll in which the United Opposition lost, the hitherto outspoken avowed critics of the national Government have gone missing from action. To a large extent, Ndakwa’s victory was a huge vote of confidence in Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, whom Natembeya, Khalwale, Malalah and Eugene had repeatedly maligned, ridiculed and insulted on daily basis during the entire campaign period. Since losing in the two contests, Natembeya, Khalwale and Malalah have suddenly taken an unusually low profile. While it is possible Natembeya, Khalwale and Malalah are eating humble pie after the thorough by-election whipping, questions abound regarding their capability and capacity to stage a meaningful political challenge.

[File, Standard]The High Court has referred a petition challenging legal service engagements between government entities and private law firms to the Chief Justice to constitute a bench to hear the case. Yesterday, Justice Samwel Mohochi ruled that the matter raises a substantial question of law that requires a multi-judge bench. Some of these judges had previously allowed public entities to hire private law firms and lawyers and authorize payments for their services. The ruling followed an application by the Law Society of Kenya through lawyer Muthomi Thiankolu, who argued that the petition raises a question of law on whether public entities with internal legal counsels can retain private law firms. “In all countries, public entities are major purchasers of professional services from the private sector, including engineering, accounting, architecture and more,” Muthomi said.

Liverpool consider 'ambitious bid' for Eduardo CamavingaOne area of Arne Slot's team that could do with bolstering is his midfield. Gravenberch is one of the Premier League's best defensive midfielders, although he often shows up, he can't be forced to play every game. This is why fans have often demanded that Liverpool look to sign a new defensive midfielder and, now, that seems to be exactly what's about to happen. That is, according to a report from the Daily Briefing who suggest that the Anfield outfit have made 'initial contacts' for Real Madrid's Eduardo Camavinga. Journalist Mark Brus outlines that a bid would cost Liverpool a minimum of €80 million (£69 million) but their interest is supposedly 'serious.'

Narok Senator Ledama Olekina has urged voters in Kisumu to convert political enthusiasm into actual votes, cautioning that large crowds and voter registration alone will not determine the outcome of the 2027 General Election. Ledama concluded his message with a rallying call to Kisumu residents, writing “Kisumu Donge!”, a phrase commonly used to express unity and collective action in the region. “Know that starting today, all Maasai votes are for William Samoei Ruto. Citing the Maasai community as an example, Ledama said numerical strength could influence political outcomes if effectively mobilised. If we stand here as the Maasai community across the country, our votes would not be less than 1.4 million,” he said.

[File, Standard]Kenya and other African markets are poised to attract increased investor interest in 2026 as capital shifts towards emerging market assets, according to Standard Chartered’s annual investment outlook released yesterday. It also highlights the increasing impact of long-term investments in infrastructure, technology, and sustainable sectors made by sovereign wealth funds from areas such as the Gulf. The report supports Kenya’s need for diversified investment strategies that strike a balance between exposure to commodities, income-generating assets, and global growth prospects. The report says Africa’s improving macroeconomic fundamentals and demographic trends position the continent to draw sustained capital flows in the upcoming year. The trend towards emerging markets highlights the increasing significance of corporate and sovereign debt markets for African economies like Kenya, as international investors reposition their holdings in anticipation of loosening global monetary policy and a declining US dollar.
