President William Ruto handed over 176 keys to new homeowners at the Machakos Affordable Housing Phase 1 project in Machakos County, part of a government initiative for low-income earners. In Mwingi North, the new Kamuw’ongo ESP Market, constructed at a cost of Sh59.4 million, opened, providing hundreds of small-scale vendors a secure and hygienic trading environment. This new facility aims to reduce losses and improve daily turnover for traders previously operating in challenging conditions. In a separate development, the Supreme Court declared the award of a license and wayleave by the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) for a second bulk-grain facility at the Port of Mombasa unconstitutional. This ruling followed a case brought by activist Okiya Omtatah against KPA and the firm Portside Freight Terminals Limited.
