The Ministry of Health in Kenya has ordered an urgent review of security protocols in national referral hospitals after two murders at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), the latest occurring on July 17.

• Numerous counties, including Nandi, Kakamega, and Kisumu, will experience cloudy conditions with light rains.
• David Gikungu, the director of the Kenya Meteorological Department, emphasizes the impact of strong winds exceeding speeds of 25 knots.
• Temperatures may drop below 10°C at night in highland zones, with scattered afternoon thunderstorms expected.
