A senior Kenyan politician was unexpectedly diverted mid-air by his pilot to a secret, high-stakes meeting in Gigiri, Nairobi, on Sunday, February 08, 2026. The pilot claimed firm instructions to take the party leader to a house in the leafy suburb before proceeding home, leaving the politician with no choice but to comply.

• The meeting in Gigiri involved many prominent figures and was convened by a senior government official, with an unclear agenda.
• The politician, who enjoys State largesse, was alarmed but outwitted by the group orchestrating the unexpected rendezvous.
• The article also hints at other unfolding political dramas, including an unnamed youthful legislator acquiring a new house in Kisumu for "clandestine activities" and a frustrated county chief turning to illegal substances.
