President William Ruto concluded a three-day tour of Kajiado County by commissioning and announcing numerous development projects, while also making political overtures in a region traditionally leaning towards the opposition.

• The tour saw the announcement of Sh20 billion investment in 10,000 housing units across Kajiado County.
• Key figures included President William Ruto, Governor Joseph ole Lenku, and several Members of Parliament.
• New investments were announced in roads, including the upgrade of the Karen-Ngong-Kiserian-Ongata Rongai road to a dual carriageway, and water projects, such as the Sh1.3 billion Kiserian-Ongata Rongai Water Supply Project.

President William Ruto's administration is deploying technocrats to the Mt Kenya region to bolster support for his 2027 re-election bid by highlighting government achievements and countering misinformation.

• Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries, and State corporation chairpersons are engaging citizens directly at the grassroots.
• Officials aim to demonstrate that the Mt Kenya region is well-represented in Dr Ruto's government, addressing concerns raised by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
• Initiatives like the Jamii Imara Mashinani are being used to explain government programs, such as the Social Health Authority registration, and address public grievances regarding service delivery.

Rigathi Gachagua, leader of the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), has unveiled a 100-day plan for a hypothetical opposition government, focusing on reforms requiring political goodwill rather than extensive financial resources.

• The plan aims to tackle corruption, restore public confidence, and reverse "State capture."
• Key proposals include investigating the deaths of Gen Z protesters, cancelling illegally issued title deeds, and establishing girls' boarding schools in areas with high rates of FGM and early marriage.
• Gachagua outlined these plans while in the United States, also engaging with Kenyans in the diaspora on proposals for a future opposition government.
