Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has broken his political silence to warn against the escalating politics of division and tribal profiling in Kenya, drawing parallels to the events leading up to the 2007/2008 post-election violence. This comes as Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has strongly criticized the administration's handling of President William Ruto's security following a recent stage breach, claiming the Elite Presidential Escort Unit is 'ethnicised' and demoralised by graft. Meanwhile, the Kenyan government has officially declared Wednesday, May 27, 2026, a public holiday for the observance of Eid-ul-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice.
