Parliament, Kindiki Battle Gachagua Over DCJ Powers to Empanel Bench

A significant disagreement has emerged between Parliament, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua concerning the Deputy Chief Justice's authority to empanel judges. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission has proposed a new Bill that could significantly alter the conduct of the 2027 General Election, including provisions to guide recall of MPs and remove the need to livestream electoral proceedings. Meanwhile, Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka has publicly stated he will not join forces with President William Ruto for the upcoming 2027 General Election, urging the President to stop making overtures. President William Ruto has launched a new national development initiative, shifting focus from the bottom-up economic model to a comprehensive development charter as Vision 2030 approaches its end.
