Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i has accused President William Ruto's administration of secretly allocating Kenya's mineral wealth through opaque concession agreements.

• Matiang'i demands the government publish all mining licences and concession agreements, revealing their beneficiaries.
• He claims that a comprehensive geological mapping exercise, completed before the 2022 election, identified significant mineral deposits.
• Matiang'i alleges that politically connected individuals are posing as foreign investors to secure lucrative mining concessions, calling it "organised plunder."

Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has issued a strong warning against politicians employing "goons" to disrupt events and intimidate citizens. He emphasized the need for peaceful, issue-based politics to foster national development.

• The Interior CS highlighted the serious issue of "goonism", a form of hired disruption often used by political figures.
• CS Murkomen authorized county security teams to take action against politicians involved in such activities, including the use of firearms.
• He urged youth to engage in agriculture and sports as avenues for economic empowerment and positive contribution to the nation.

Siaya Governor James Orengo has strongly condemned alleged abductions and torture of activists, calling the case of Davis Lichuma a "criminal act of the State."

• Activist Davis Lichuma was found in critical condition, showing signs of torture, after disappearing during the June 25 commemorations of the 2024 Gen Z protests.
• Governor Orengo criticized President William Ruto's past directive to police to shoot protesters, stating the President has not withdrawn or regretted the order.
• The governor argued that justice and accountability are paramount before compensation for victims of protests, noting only a few cases are in court despite over 60 deaths.
