Land Cabinet Secretary Alice Wahome has announced plans to sue Kiambu Senator Karungo wa Thang'wa for defamation over allegations of her involvement in a land-grabbing scheme in Ruiru. Thang'wa claimed Wahome, her daughter, and President William Ruto were grabbing land, prompting a strong denial and legal threat from the CS.

• Wahome stated she would take legal action against Thang'wa within the next 30 days.
• The CS presented documents, explaining the land in question had been in litigation for years and that a court ruled on July 10 that it was fraudulently sold.
• Wahome denied owning any land in Kiambu County and refuted claims of her daughter's involvement, clarifying her daughter is a lawyer who continued working at a firm after Wahome joined the cabinet.

Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa has urged President William Ruto to fire Cooperatives Cabinet Secretary Wycliffe Oparanya due to his alleged interference in county and party politics. Barasa claims Oparanya is causing political instability in Kakamega and the ODM party, and is using local leaders to express his dissatisfaction with his ministerial role.

• Governor Barasa suggests Oparanya is unhappy with his CS position and wants to be the Treasury CS.
• Oparanya was appointed CS for Cooperatives and MSMEs on August 8, 2024, after anti-government protests.
• Oparanya, meanwhile, criticized ongoing wrangles over ODM party leadership in Kakamega County, noting irregular elections and reaffirming his loyalty to the party despite leaving leadership roles.

Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has refuted claims that the opposition has already selected its presidential candidate for the 2027 General Elections, directly challenging former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's assertion that he will be the flagbearer.

• Natembeya stated that the opposition will assess a candidate's ability to attract support and their resource capacity before choosing a flagbearer, calling Gachagua's declaration a "cold fact."
• Gachagua, leader of the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), affirmed his intention to run for president despite past impeachment claims, vowing to streamline healthcare, housing, and education if elected.
• The opposition's immediate focus, according to Natembeya, is to unite against President William Ruto's policies and strategize to remove him from power in the upcoming polls.
