Allies of President William Ruto, led by Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, have condemned former President Uhuru Kenyatta's criticism of the current administration. They accuse Kenyatta of making hypocritical claims and misleading the public on policy matters.

• Kenyatta could face loss of retirement benefits if he continues to "re-enter active politics," according to Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei, citing the Presidential Retirement Benefits Act.
• Kindiki refuted Kenyatta's claim that the Linda Mama program was scrapped, stating it was expanded to a universal healthcare program named SHA.
• Uhuru Kenyatta made his criticisms at the Jubilee National Delegates Conference, accusing Ruto's government of misusing security agencies.

The Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) and various lobby groups have filed a new petition at the High Court challenging President William Ruto's affordable housing levy, arguing it is unconstitutional and detrimental to Kenyans.

• The petition claims the levy has driven many Kenyans into poverty and is being used as a political tool for favoritism, citing the allocation of houses to teachers and Harambee Stars players.
• The levy imposes a mandatory 1.5 percent deduction on employees' gross salaries, matched by employers, to fund the National Housing Development Fund.
• The petitioners, including Transparency International Kenya and the Institute for Social Accountability, argue the levy has negatively impacted over 20 million Kenyans in the informal sector and has not advanced the right to housing.
• Despite a previous ruling upholding the levy's constitutionality, KHRC insists its petition is based on new grounds, particularly economic retrogression and politicization of public resources.

Kenya's President William Ruto clarified that Kenya has not received a request from the United States to accept deported illegal immigrants, despite similar deals with other African countries.

• President Ruto stated during the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) that any such request would need to align with Kenyan law and have legal justification.
• This follows Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni's approval to accept unwanted immigrants from the US, with conditions including not accepting individuals with criminal records or unaccompanied minors.
• The US has reportedly cut deals with several African countries, including Ghana, Rwanda, South Sudan, and Uganda, to receive deported immigrants.
