On Wednesday, July 30, 2025, Transparency International Kenya (T.I.-Kenya) hosted a high-level Validation Meeting at PrideInn Azure, Nairobi, to unpack one of Africa's most pressing challenges—corruption.

DCI boss Amin: Gachagua not under probe over June 25 protest chaos

Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) boss Mohamed Amin, has dismissed reports suggesting that former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is under investigation in relation to the violent scenes that erupted during the June 25 anniversary protests.

As Kenyans brace for the reading of the 2025/26 national budget, the country stands on the edge of a deepening crisis. Budget estimates indicate a planned expenditure of KSh 4.24 trillion against projected revenues of KSh 3.32 trillion—leaving a worrying deficit of KSh 876.1 billion. The government intends to cover this gap through domestic borrowing, pushing Kenya’s public debt beyond KSh 11.35 trillion. But beyond the numbers lies a bigger concern: Are we spending on the right priorities? ⚠️ Mounting Debt, Shrinking Services The Okoa Uchumi Campaign warns that the new Finance Bill 2025 does not adequately address the reckless government spending habits. Instead of realigning resources toward crucial services, the bill appears to favor tax privileges for elite players while placing a heavier burden on ordinary Kenyans. Key proposals include: Raising tax-exempt per diem allowances for senior officials fr...
