Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has urged President William Ruto to stop politicizing the World Bank's Nyota grant and instead substantially increase its funding to benefit more Kenyan youth. Nyoro criticized the government's borrowing habits, asserting that the Nyota project, designed to support young people, deserves greater investment rather than being used for political gain.

• The Nyota project is a World Bank-funded program with a Sh5 billion grant, which Ndindi Nyoro suggests should be matched by the government, raising the individual youth allocation from Sh50,000 to Sh100,000.
• Nyoro claimed the government has borrowed Sh1 trillion in eight months, averaging Sh4 billion daily, compared to President Mwai Kibaki's Sh1.2 trillion borrowed over ten years.
• The MP also highlighted that other MPs, like Emuhaya MP Omboko Milemba, accuse the administration of failing to involve them in the program's implementation, making beneficiaries unclear, particularly in the 70 beneficiaries per ward distribution model for its 100,000 youth target.

Former Cabinet Minister Linah Jebii Kilimo has announced her return to politics, joining the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party and declaring her bid for the Marakwet East MP seat. She aims to continue her mission of restoring peace in the volatile Kerio Valley and complete development plans from her previous tenure.

• Kilimo, who previously served two terms from 2002 to 2013, is known for her peace efforts in the Kerio Valley.
• She was welcomed to the UDA by Secretary General Hassan Omar, who highlighted the party's goal of national unity.
• "Mother of Peace" Kilimo expressed her desire to be part of a team delivering results and uniting the country.

The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has summoned Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale, demanding an explanation for alleged misconduct and disloyalty to the party. He is accused of publicly supporting a rival candidate in the upcoming Malava Constituency by-election.

• UDA alleges Senator Khalwale openly supported a rival candidate, which constitutes "allegiance to another political party" and "gross misconduct."
• The summons was issued by UDA Disciplinary Committee Chairperson Charles Njenga.
• Khalwale, a nominated UDA member representing Kakamega County, has 14 days to respond to the allegations.
