Government plans to expand cash transfers to 2.5 million households
Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection Alfred Mutua says cash transfers remains important but can not provide lasting protection on their own. “Cash transfer, however well targeted, protects a household only for as long as the transfer lasts,” he said, adding that sustainable livelihoods offered more durable protection against poverty and economic shocks. According to the Ministry, the government currently provides more than Sh3.5 billion monthly to vulnerable Kenyans through various social protection programmes. Inua Jamii beneficiaries have increased from 1.2 million to 1.7 million, with the government targeting 2.5 million households. The programme has also shifted from commercial […]

SportPesa Goal Rush Crowns 7th Millionaire
SportPesa crowns its seventh Goal Rush millionaire, with 27-year-old Njoro, Nakuru farmer Meshack Kiplangat walking away with a life-changing Ksh 10 million after correctly predicting the first goal-scoring team and exact goal time across three pre-selected matches on the free-to-play game. Kiplangat, a first-born son who grows potatoes and maize on his family’s farm in Njoro, moved back to Nakuru after a difficult stint in Nairobi that pushed him to return home and rebuild from scratch as a full-time farmer. A consistent gamer, he had previously tasted success with a Ksh 10,000 multibet win, but nothing prepared him for the […]

High Court dismisses Rachier petition in Gor Mahia tenure dispute
The High Court in Milimani has dismissed a petition filed by Gor Mahia chairman Ambrose Rachier challenging the Sports Registrar’s decision that his tenure had expired, ruling that he should have first exhausted the available dispute-resolution mechanism before approaching the court. In a judgment delivered virtually on Thursday, October 15, 2026, Justice David Mburu upheld a preliminary objection by the State Law Office and the Sports Registrar, finding that the petition was prematurely instituted because Rachier had not appealed the Registrar’s decision before the Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT). The court further directed that each party bear its own costs. The […]
