[Courtesy Raymond Omollo, X]Internal Security PS Dr Raymond Omollo has led the National Celebrations Committee to inspect the Masinde Muliro Stadium in Kanduyi, for the upcoming Madaraka Day Celebrations.

Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja says a lack of coordination between national and county government officials is creating a loophole for lawbreakers to breach city regulations.

When the governor assumed office, his slogan was to run a city of order, dignity, hope and opportunity for all. Mr Sakaja said the ongoing crackdown targeting drinking joints located at city’s public transport termini would continue to stop frequent road crashes associated with alcohol abuse by drivers.

FAKE: This digital card with purported summary of NADCO report isn’t from The StarThe Nairobi-based media outlet has disowned the graphic. PesaCheck · Follow Published in PesaCheck · 4 min read · 10 hours ago 10 hours ago -- Listen ShareThis graphic on X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook, purportedly from The Star newspaper summarising Kenya’s National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) report, is FAKE. NADCO was established in 2023 to collect views from Kenyans pertaining to, among others, Kenya’s electoral system, cost of living, and inclusivity.

One example is a bogus Star newspaper front page claiming that Ruto will support former president Uhuru Kenyatta for the UN secretary general post in 2026. An image of what appears to be the front page of Kenya’s Star newspaper has been posted online with the headline: “Ruto to endorse Uhuru for UN Sec Gen 2026.”The front page is dated 5 March 2024 and features a picture of Kenya’s former president Uhuru Kenyatta shaking hands with his successor, William Ruto. The front page has also been posted on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) here, here, here, here, here, here and here. Kenyatta was Kenya’s fourth president, serving from 2013 to 2022. The 2026 selection process is still a long way off, but is this a legitimate front page from the Star newspaper?
