Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya issued a stern warning to Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula, accusing them of lacking political independence and relying solely on President William Ruto's goodwill for their positions.

• Natembeya asserted that if President Ruto were to dismiss Mudavadi and Wetang’ula, they would lose relevance, contrasting their situation with ODM leader Raila Odinga's enduring influence despite holding no formal government role.
• Natembeya's warning comes amidst ongoing political wrangles within his own party, the Democratic Action Party–Kenya (DAP–K), where he has accused external forces, specifically Wetang'ula's Ford Kenya Party, of interference.
• The disputes within DAP-K have been referred to the Internal Disputes Resolution Committee, but public rifts persist, with Natembeya's allies alleging a scheme to block his ascent to party leadership.

Former Trade Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has strongly condemned what he describes as increasing ethnic profiling targeting the Mt Kenya community, urging leaders to cease fanning divisive rhetoric.

• Kuria specifically called out Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale and MPs William Kamket and Jackson Mandago for allegedly spreading claims of Mt Kenya leaders' superiority.
• Kuria, a former key ally of President William Ruto, warned that continued attacks could lead to "very unintended consequences" and a "point of no return."
• The remarks highlight growing political tension within the ruling Kenya Kwanza alliance, with some Mt Kenya leaders feeling sidelined despite their significant contribution to the 2022 election votes.

Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has demanded compensation for victims of criminal and terror activities in Kenya's North Eastern regions, including those who died in Wagalla and Malka Mari, specifically during the previous administration. Duale emphasized the need for equity and denounced political leaders who project some regions as superior.

• Duale made his remarks in Balambala, Garissa County, on Saturday, August 16.
• He accused previous administrations of neglecting the North Eastern regions.
• Former President’s Senior Economic Advisor Moses Kuria warned Duale against negatively profiling the Mount Kenya region, claiming it could lead to divisive politics.
• Kuria stated he would defend the region against such criticism, asserting that recurrent attacks could lead to "unintended consequences."

A section of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Members of Parliament have publicly criticized their party leader, Raila Odinga, over his proposal to transfer the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) to counties.

• MPs, led by Kitutu Masaba MP Clive Ombane Gisairo, argue that NG-CDF is crucial for education, security, and development, providing bursaries and building facilities. They urged Raila's advisors to avoid misleading him.
• Matuga MP Kassim Tandaza stressed that NG-CDF has proven its worth in transforming lives and should remain in constituencies, emphasizing its bipartisan parliamentary support.
• Raila Odinga had stated at a devolution conference that NG-CDF undermines devolution, advocating for its management by county governments and asserting that MPs should focus solely on legislation and oversight.
