Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has claimed that sources within State House provided him with details of President William Ruto's national address prior to its delivery on Thursday, July 30.

• Gachagua asserted that informants, some from within State House itself, are sharing sensitive information due to widespread dissatisfaction among government officers.
• He specifically alleged that officers from the Presidential Escort Unit have not received their allowances, citing it as a security concern.
• These claims follow Gachagua's prior revelation of a 'Vision 2060' initiative and a potential role for former President Uhuru Kenyatta, which did not fully materialize in Ruto's speech.

Job Odima Atinga, a former senior officer in the National Intelligence Service (NIS) and cousin to former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, has passed away. The announcement was made by Odinga's sister, Ruth Odinga, from their family gathering in Alego Kakan, Siaya County.

• Atinga served with distinction in the NIS and later at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Nyanza Regional Office.
• The key individuals involved are Job Odima Atinga, Ruth Odinga, and the broader Odinga family.
• His death adds to a series of recent bereavements for the Odinga family, following the passing of Raila Odinga on October 15, 2025, and his sister, Beryl Achieng Odinga, in November 2025.
