Police Disperse Political Gatherings in Kitengela and Witima With Tear Gas
A political rally in Kitengela organized by ODM Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna descended into chaos as police intervened, reportedly firing tear gas to disperse the gathering. Separately, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua demanded accountability after a tear gas incident at an ACK Witima Church. Following the church attack, Gachagua announced the United Opposition plans to revisit the Inspector General of Police's office. Caroli Omondi, Member of Parliament for Suba South, alleged the chaos at the Kitengela rally was state-sponsored. Former Chief Justice David Maraga also criticized the government's use of tear gas and accused the Kenyan police of using excessive force against United Opposition leaders.
Drought Crisis Leads to Hunger, School Absences, and Crop Changes Across Kenya
Failed short rains have left over 274,500 people in pastoralist communities in Wajir in severe distress. In Northern Kenya, learners are skipping classes due to starvation as the government's school feeding program has collapsed, and hunger has also severely disrupted learning in Isiolo and Marsabit counties. Amid the ongoing drought, advocacy groups in Marsabit fear a resurgence of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) cases. In response to the crisis, agricultural stakeholders in Kilifi County are advising farmers to plant fast-maturing crops that require less water. Farmers in Kilifi are also adopting drought-resistant crops as a strategic response to climate change.
