The Deputy President also affirmed Ngeno’s loyalty to President William Ruto, recalling a public declaration in Kilgoris where the MP openly urged support for the Head of State. Educated at Mogondo Primary School and Maseno National School, Ng’eno pursued higher studies both abroad and in Kenya.

How Repatriation Flights Work as Kenya Airways Intervenes on Stranded Kenyans in Middle East
In Kenya, national carrier Kenya Airways on Wednesday, March 4, announced special repatriation flights between Nairobi and Dubai to assist passengers affected by the disruption.

Why Having a National Carrier is CrucialBesides assisting in emergency situations, the presence of a national carrier signals confidence to investors. Without a strategically positioned and commercially stable airline like Kenya Airways, Kenya risks becoming little more than an expensive transit hub for other nations’ carriers.

The man in question is Joy Alukkas, who saw the family enterprise divided among the five male heirs.

The family set up their first gold retail shop in 1956, before moving into other businesses a few years later. The government’s Gold Control Act allowed traders like the Alukkas family to apply for licences to continue operations. Over the next 12 years, Joy Alukkas went on to establish nine more outlets in the region.

Jim Chalmers Splits The "C" On A Warm 600mL Buddy Of Vanilla Coke
ERROL PARKER | Editor-at-large | ContactIn what economic analysts are calling his most decisive act of fiscal leadership this term, Treasurer Jim Chalmers today split the "C" on a warm 600mL buddy of Vanilla Coke in his office. Witnesses say Chalmers cracked the lid with a confident quarter-turn before taking a long, contemplative pull, eyes close, head tilted back and wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. The Treasurer reportedly paid full price ($4.80) despite being well aware of the two-for-$7 deal, and made no effort to grab a cold one from the fridge. Critics have seized on both decisions as further evidence of Labor's loose approach to household spending. When pressed during Question Time, Chalmers remained defiant and offered no apology.
