Kenyan Police Arrested for Killing Psychologist and Lawyer in Targeted Attacks

Kenyan detectives arrested the two officers after recovering the pistol and motorcycle used in the attacks, linked to a bitter divorce, defamation lawsuit, and property dispute.

Dr. Mutiso, a mental health researcher, died on July 29, 2026, in a planned taxi shooting, while Mbobu was killed in a drive-by on September 9, 2025, along Nairobi’s Magadi Road.

The breakthrough followed former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's accusations that the Directorate of Criminal Investigations was shielding the suspects; the agency plans a formal update soon. Public reactions blend relief at the arrests with shock over police involvement in the crimes.

One day, Machakos KANU branch chairman Joseph Mulu Mutisya dropped by Professor Philip Mbithi’s office at Harambee House without appointment.

The professor, following Moi's mantra of not attending to anyone without prior appointment, declined to see him.

Later in the day, the President requested Prof Mbithi to be at State House the following morning to discuss an impending cabinet reshuffle which he was to discuss with the head of state.

At State House, the professor was kept waiting for an hour only to discover the person the President had been talking to and laughing with all through was Mulu Mutisya.

When Prof Mbitihi mentioned to the President that the Machakos politician had been to see him the previous day but he didn’t meet him as he had come without appointment the way Moi had ordered, the President replied:

'Professor, how can you ignore Mzee Mutisya?

He is the man who told me to give you the big job you have!'

Having finished drafting list of the cabinet reshuffle with the president to be announced the following day during the one o'clock news bulletin, Mbithi requested for a day off and headed to his rural home in Kimutwa.

The following day, the professor got to feel the full weight of the invisible powers that be when he tuned his radio at one o’clock to hear his name first in the list.

He had been demoted to be Kenya’s representative to the EAC headquarters in Arusha.

When he called the President on the usual direct line to enquire whether there had been a mix-up in the list, the phone was answered at some hair salon in Kenyatta Market.

OPINION: President William Ruto's political standing appears to be facing one of its biggest tests since taking office.

Critics argue that his latest speech lacked major policy announcements and failed to shift attention from recent opposition political engagements. They also point to growing reports of leaders leaving UDA and increasing challenges in mobilizing public support without significant financial expenditure.

Just a few years ago, Ruto was viewed as one of Africa's most influential political figures, actively engaging on the international stage and speaking confidently about Kenya's long-term future. Today, however, some analysts believe the political landscape has shifted dramatically, with the opposition becoming more coordinated ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Whether this marks a temporary setback or the beginning of a broader political decline remains to be seen. Kenyan politics has often proven unpredictable, and the next election is still some time away.

Do you think President Ruto can rebuild his political momentum before 2027, or has the tide already turned?

Dr. Kizza Besigye came to Nairobi to attend Martha Karua’s book launch.

He should have been free to leave Nairobi as a political leader and a citizen of the East African Community.

Instead he was abducted from Kenya by the Kenyan NIS and transported to Uganda by Uganda military Intelligence. #Nairobi

There on Spice FM, MP Caroli Omondi says leaders allied to the broad-based government receive up to KSh 5 million a month in an attempt to sway the public to support President William Ruto's 2027 re-election bid.

Caroli claims that, in his own constituency, one leader has even been provided with a helicopter.

He has urged Kenyans to take the money and even send some of it to the Linda Mwananchi paybill in support of Edwin Sifuna's presidential bid. #Elections2027

George Wajackoyah dismisses President William Ruto's two-term campaign slogan, urging Kenyans to back his 2027 presidential bid and insisting every citizen has the democratic right to contest for the presidency. #Elections2027

"Wakati tulikuwa tunafukuza Gachagua kazi, pesa ilitembea Bunge, tukalipwa tufukuze huyo jamaa, na Aaron Cheruiyot ndiye alikuwa anatulipa.
Sifuna alilipwa pesa mingi sana wakati huo aimpeach Gachagua, lakini badala ya kwenda ajenge nayo boma, alienda kutembea na wasichana.
Kwa sababu ile boma yake niliona haitoshani na ile pesa alipewa kufukuza Gachagua. Mabati alienda akanunua ya mia tano; nyumba hata haikai ya Senator, sasa kama hawezi jenga ata kwake ionekane vizuri atajenga aje nchi? Hiyo hawezi kuwa rais wa Kenya"~

“We haven't seen any negative writings in the Newspaper about Sifuna at all. The guy is clean & is built for the future, why would anyone in ODM oppose him? Ukiangalia huko mbele utaona Sifuna.” ~ Prof Anyang' Nyong'o throws his weight behind Sifuna. #Elections2027

Senator Edwin Sifuna has sensationally claimed that President William Ruto’s affordable housing projects are not popular with Luhyas because Luhyas don’t like living where their chickens cannot access. He said he was in Funyula and saw a 12 storey affordable housing building and wondered how chickens could access that. #Elections2027

Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has declared that the country will no longer hold elections.
Ortega stated that elections would no longer serve as a means for the opposition to pursue power.
Ortega has been in power since 2007 and has governed alongside his wife Rosario Murillo, now serving as co-president.

Mathira MP Eric Wamumbi has remained defiant, insisting that the recently concluded Ol Kalou by-election could ultimately work in President William Ruto's favour, despite the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) losing the seat.
Speaking during an interview on Obinna Show Live, Wamumbi argued that the loss should not be viewed as a political setback. Instead, he said it gives the President a clearer picture of his actual support on the ground, rather than relying on misleading assurances.#Elections2027

Tenri School in Embu should be shut down immediately.

What kind of school allows children to wear uniforms and shamelessly make “Aloo Aloo” videos instead of solving quadratic equations? This is exactly how civilizations collapse.

As a proper African parent, your child has already failed in life if they’re holding a camera instead of a textbook. How dare they learn storytelling, editing, branding, and audience building? Can those things appear in a report card?

The only acceptable success story is: score straight As, go to university, graduate, wake up at 5 a.m. every day, spend two hours in traffic, then thank your employer for sending a salary at the end of the month.

Close the school immediately... or at least that is what the stereotypical African parent would say.

But the truth is, the world has changed. Schools should not stop teaching academics, they should teach skills too.

The children who learn to build, create, innovate, communicate, and monetize their talents won’t just look for jobs; many of them will create them.

The future belongs to people who can think beyond the textbook, and our education system should prepare children for that future, not just for exams.

Man Arrested With 8 Packages Of Bhang Strapped To His Back, And More Hidden In A Bag, Totaling 13.9kg Worth Sh417,000, At The Suo Roadblock On The Busia–Kisumu Highway

The Ol Kalou by-election was more than a local contest, it was a 2027 coalition signal. If Mt. Kenya has politically detached from President Ruto, it may also have weakened its leverage to retain the deputy presidency and other key Executive positions.

The real beneficiaries could be Western and Nyanza, whose bargaining power has just grown. The winners in Ol Kalou can have their victory parade today, but the real political dividends may be harvested elsewhere.

Members of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) in Bungoma County have expressed concern over what they have termed as the party's declining popularity in western region, despite the overwhelming support that President William Ruto received in the 2022 General Election.

Led by Bungoma County UDA Youth Leader George Kasawa, the members claimed that the party's waning support stems from the exclusion of grassroots members from economic empowerment programmes being spearheaded by some key politicians from the region who are close to the President.
