DCP party Deputy Cleophas Malala gives assurance of his support to Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna during Linda Mwanainchi rally at Kakamega town on August 8,2026.[File-Standard] There is a shift in the political space of this country that has caught everyone flat-footed.

If you are an active courtroom practitioner attending court almost daily without the luxury of leave, you will know that the legal vacation is not an indulgence; it is an institutional necessity. So after a grueling ten-month term, having poured everything into direct conduct of complex cases since October, a practitioner’s expectation of recess is both reasonable and essential. To be compelled to appear in court during this period disrupts not only carefully laid plans including for local and international bar conferences and professional development, but also the fundamental need for psychological reset. It is easy for non-practitioners to dismiss…

Kenya Power has warned that the country’s growing reliance on wind and solar power is increasing the cost of keeping the electricity grid stable, as sudden changes in renewable generation force the utility to bring additional power plants online.
