Njeri Maina, the Kirinyaga Woman Representative, has expressed concerns regarding Oscar Sudi's recent donation of Ksh145 million amidst ongoing national crises, questioning government spending priorities.

• Ksh145 million was donated by Sudi for items including motorcycles, vehicles, and sewing machines.
• Oscar Sudi, the Kapseret MP, defended the donations as personal funds, not government money.
• Maina criticized leaders for prioritizing such donations while proposing cuts to free education, highlighting a significant budget shortfall.

The Kenyan government has accused Francis Atwoli, the head of the Central Organisation of Trade Unions-Kenya (COTU-K), of misleading citizens regarding potential misuses of housing levy funds following new regulations proposed by MPs.

• The new regulations could redirect housing levy funds to unrelated projects, posing a risk to the Affordable Housing programme.
• Charles Hinga, the Housing Principal Secretary, countered Atwoli’s claims, stating that COTU was involved in drafting the regulations.
• Atwoli asserted that funds could be diverted to construct facilities like health centres but Hinga argued these amenities are essential for the success of housing projects.

The ongoing conflict between the Central Organisation of Trade Unions–Kenya (COTU-K) and the State Department of Housing centers around a dispute over the redirection of billions from the Affordable Housing Levy.

• President William Ruto has been called upon by COTU Secretary-General Francis Atwoli to intervene.
• COTU argues that new regulations threaten the levy meant for affordable housing.
• COTU contends it was not adequately consulted while the Housing Principal Secretary Charles Hinga claims they were involved in drafting.
