TVS Motor Company has officially launched its electric scooters in Kenya, marking a significant step in the country's growing demand for clean transportation solutions.

• The new TVS iQube e-scooters offer a range of 75 to 115 kilometres on a single charge.
• The launch was announced by TVS Motor Company, with availability through Car & General dealerships.
• This move is driven by the rapidly expanding electric two-wheeler market in Africa, projected at 15% to 25% CAGR, and a declining interest in costly fuel-powered motorbikes.

Rents in several Nairobi estates, including Ruaka, Kitengela, Upper Hill, and Lang'ata, have seen a decline over the past year. This trend contrasts with the general growth in apartment rents across most locations, indicating a fragmented residential market.

• Ruaka experienced the steepest annual apartment rental fall at 2.7 percent.
• HassConsult data attributes the drop to a supply glut, reduced corporate demand, and pressure on household incomes.
• Factors like hybrid working, increased tenant choice, and rising household costs are impacting landlords' pricing power, while areas like Athi River show strong rental growth.

The Employment and Labour Relations Court (ELRC) has dismissed a lawsuit challenging the appointment of Mr. Mohamed as KRA Commissioner-General, ruling it lacked jurisdiction over the case.

• The suit was filed by the Consumer Federation of Kenya (Cofek) in the public interest.
• Mr. Mohamed was appointed on May 18, 2026, by Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi.
• The court found that Cofek, acting as a public-interest organization, was not a party entitled to bring a pre-employment dispute before the ELRC.
