Several high-ranking government officials from Kenya's Coast region are reportedly engaged in an intensive campaign to ensure President William Ruto's re-election. This effort is seen as a strategic move to secure their own political positions following the upcoming General Election.

• Key figures spearheading this campaign include Senate Speaker Amason Kingi, and Cabinet Secretaries Salim Mvurya and Hassan Joho.
• The primary motivation appears to be guaranteeing their future political careers and influence within the government.
• This "do-or-die" campaign highlights the high stakes for these leaders in the upcoming electoral cycle.

A Taita Taveta Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) Diocese cleric has accused President William Ruto’s administration of widespread "goonism" and impunity, alleging nepotism, land grabbing, and a disregard for divergent views.

• The cleric, Stephen Norman Satale, stated that the government fails to provide jobs for qualified but poor children, instead favoring friends and relatives.
• He lamented increased insecurity, bloodshed, and the destruction of property, questioning the government's accountability in protecting citizens.
• Satale contrasted the current administration with the Mwai Kibaki government, which he described as accountable and free from land grabbing and disrupting opposition rallies.
