"I was born in Jamaica but I am actually Kenyan" — Vybz Kartel at his concert in the UK.

Controversial musician Vybz Kartel has come out to show his love for Kenya. The Jamaican born singer who is expecting a child with his new girlfriend and has been in jail for along time yesterday spoke openly about his love for Kenya saying that the country adores his music and stood by him when he was in jail.

He also disclosed that he plans to buy a house in Kenya and partially relocate here showering the rich culture Kenya has and the love for his music.

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?

🚨 More than 1,000 elderly men and women were allegedly charged KSh 3,000 each after being promised a trip to State House to meet President William Ruto and receive title deeds for Mau Mau land.

According to the claims, the group was instead taken to the Ameru Cultural Festival at Carnivore Grounds in Lang'ata, where they reportedly found themselves attending a cultural event with political speeches instead of the promised State House meeting.

The allegations have sparked outrage, with many questioning who organized the trip, collected the money, and whether the elderly participants were misled.

If the claims are true, those responsible should be investigated and held accountable.

Who organized the trip, and where did the KSh 3,000 collected from each participant go?
