Kakamega Deputy Governor Ayub Savula has called for former President Uhuru Kenyatta to be stripped of his retirement benefits. Savula alleges Kenyatta is actively involved in politics through proxies, violating the Retirement Benefits Act.

• Savula urges Sirisia Member of Parliament John Waluke to introduce a motion in Parliament to withdraw Kenyatta's benefits.
• The demand is based on Section 6 of the Presidential Retirement Benefits Act, which prohibits retired Presidents from holding political party office for more than six months after leaving office.
• This call comes amid ongoing criticism of the former President, with President William Ruto accusing him of sponsoring political activities.

A fierce political battle for control of the late Raila Odinga’s Nyanza political base is intensifying, with rival factions positioning themselves for the 2027 General Election.

• James Orengo declared himself “the remaining Raila,” asserting his claim to the late leader’s political legacy at a rally in Homa Bay.
• Key players include the opposition ODM faction (operating as Linda Mwananchi) and the pro-government camp, which highlights development projects in the region.
• The confrontation in Homa Bay, a traditional ODM stronghold, saw opposition leaders challenge the government’s narrative, emphasizing democratic rights and rule of law over development alone.
