National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula has warned politicians against interfering with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), stating that such actions could jeopardize voter registration and upcoming by-elections.

• Wetang'ula emphasized that the IEBC operates independently and does not take instructions from any leader, including the president.
• The remarks were made during a service at St. Paul's Catholic Church in Kanduyi, Bungoma County.
• He also urged the youth to register as voters, highlighting eased identification requirements introduced by President Ruto.

Human rights activist Boniface Mwangi was arrested at his Lukenya home on Saturday, leading to condemnation from Kalonzo Musyoka, the leader of the Wiper Party. Mwangi's arrest is seen as an assault on freedom of expression.

• Kalonzo Musyoka plans to secure Mwangi's immediate release through opposition lawyers.
• Mwangi's wife confirmed the arrest and stated that police accused him of acts of “terrorism and arson.”
• The arrest occurred just a day after Mwangi filed a petition against the governments of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and the Secretary General of the East African Community at the East African Court of Justice.
