The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has conducted a court-authorized search at a hotel in Embu as part of an expanding probe into alleged corruption at the National Youth Service (NYS).

• Investigators are examining claims that NYS officials traded with the service through associated companies, receiving payments estimated at 2 billion Shillings between the 2019/2020 and 2024/2025 financial years.
• The operation targeted a senior official at the NYS Training School in Gilgil, and his associate.
• The EACC stated that the Embu search yielded evidentiary material relevant to the case, focusing on suspected conflict of interest and abuse of office.

The Employment and Labour Relations Court has issued interim orders reinstating 11 senior officials of Bungoma County who were recently fired by Governor Kenneth Lusaka.

• The court order temporarily halts Governor Lusaka's decision to dismiss the County Executive Committee (CEC) members and the County Secretary.
• The affected officials filed an urgent petition arguing their dismissals violated constitutional rights to fair administrative action and labour practices.
• Governor Lusaka had dismissed the entire county cabinet on April 9, citing the need to enhance efficiency and improve service delivery.
