Siaya Governor James Orengo is facing pressure from Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) over the alleged failure to implement crucial development projects, despite the 2025/2026 budget being approved.

• The Siaya County Assembly has accused the Governor's administration of slow progress on development initiatives.
• The situation marks a reversal from the MCAs' previous stance, which had drawn criticism for allegedly being too close to the Executive.
• With only two months remaining in the financial year, concerns are mounting over the utilization of allocated funds.

The High Court in Nairobi has granted former Senator Gloria Orwoba a chance to challenge her expulsion from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and subsequent removal from the Senate.

• The court ruled that the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal (PPDT) orders were against the main party, not the electoral committee, allowing Orwoba's case to proceed.
• Key figures involved include former Senator Gloria Orwoba, the UDA party, and Justice Linus Kassan.
• The PPDT had previously nullified Orwoba's expulsion, deeming it unlawful and politically motivated, stating she was denied a fair hearing.

• The court ruled that the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal (PPDT) orders were against the main party, UDA, not its electoral committee.
• Key figures involved include former Senator Gloria Orwoba, Justice Linus Kassan, and the UDA's Secretary General.
• Orwoba was expelled on May 19 for alleged misconduct, including attending an event hosted by former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i and criticizing President William Ruto's labor program.

President William Ruto is undertaking a significant four-day tour of Kisii and Nyamira counties, initiating multi-billion-shilling development projects in a strategic bid to garner political influence in the Gusii region.

• The tour features the groundbreaking and commissioning of numerous infrastructure projects, including markets, hostels, water systems, and roads, totaling billions of shillings.
• Key figures involved include President William Ruto and his political rivals, notably Dr. Fred Matiang’i, who has emerged as a significant political force in the region.
• The initiative is seen as a move to counter the growing influence of Dr. Matiang’i and to convert development gains into political capital in a historically opposition-aligned region.
