National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula played a pivotal role as MPs defied President William Ruto's order to grant tax waivers and diplomatic immunities to the directors and foreign staff of the Global Centre on Adaptation (GCA), a Dutch firm linked to the University of Nairobi Chancellor Prof Patrick Verkooijen.

• MPs unanimously adopted a report revoking the President's Privileges and Immunities (The Global Centre for Adaptation) Order, 2025, rejecting the proposed tax and prosecution exemptions for GCA officials.
• The legislative action saw Speaker Wetang’ula change his stance, re-referring the matter from the Environment committee to the Delegated Legislation Committee for scrutiny.
• The GCA, a climate organization, was in the process of setting up its Kenya office, with plans to inject 3 million euros (over Sh452m) into programs for food security, infrastructure, and nature-based solutions.

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta revealed a significant shift in his approach to public engagement, moving from passively "watching television" to actively "listening to the ground."

• The former president stated his transition occurred recently.
• The setting for this revelation was the funeral of former Kirinyaga Senator Daniel Karaba.
• This marks a notable change in his public persona since leaving office.

Politicians in Kenya are increasingly using paid hecklers as a tactic to disrupt rallies and silence critics, particularly as the 2027 General Election approaches.

• Groups are mobilized and paid to create disruptions, drowning out targeted leaders and denying the public a chance to hear their arguments.
• Notable incidents include Siaya Governor James Orengo being heckled while hosting President William Ruto on March 24, 2026, and Siaya Woman Representative Christine Ombaka facing similar disruption at a rally on February 21, 2026.
• Homa Bay Woman Representative Joyce Osogo has strongly condemned the practice, warning it undermines democracy and calling for enforcement of the Election Offences Act.
