The Nairobi County Government is set to introduce new fines for non-compliant businesses, targeting those that fail to pay for their licenses on time. This announcement was made by Charles Kerich, the Finance County Executive Committee (CEC) member.

• The city aims to collect Ksh44.6 billion in revenue for the 2025/2026 financial year.
• Charles Kerich confirms that penalties will be introduced without increasing service costs.
• The county government plans to simplify digital payment methods and initiate mapping of businesses to enhance compliance and tax revenue.

Leaders from Nairobi, including Esther Passaris, call for peace ahead of the upcoming Saba Saba Day protests, warning against plans to attack homes of various leaders.

• Reports indicate that some Kenyans in the diaspora are fundraising to support violent actions during the protests.
• Key figures involved include Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu and Makadara MP George Aladwa.
• The protests are linked to the death of blogger Albert Ojwang in police custody last month.
