RUKENYA, KIRINYAGA: Hay Lorry Collapses, No Casulties

 A lorry transporting hay crashed in the wee hours of the morning near Thiba Falls Resort along Kutus-Kianyaga highway.

According to the driver he was evading contact with power lines which were close to the level of the heaped cargo.

His attempts to veer off the road to the pathway made the cargo loose balance leading to the crash.

The area also has huge potholes which he was trying to avoid.

However no casualties was witnessed and no one was injured in the incidence. 

KARIA, KABARE: Decomposing Body Found In A Room, 'Koropa' Kills The Victim

DECOMPOSING BODY FOUND IN A ROOM, VICTIM ALLEGEDLY SUCCUMBED TO 'KOROPA'

Story by Sammie Mugane

 A body of a middle aged man identified as James Njinga was this morning found in a room in Karia Market in Kabare Ward, Kirinyaga East Sub-County (Gichugu), Kirinyaga County.

The body which was in decomposition state was spotted when residents sensed repugnant smell that rented in the air emanating from one of the rooms where the deceased lived.

According to a local the deceased was reported missing from Monday and his whereabouts were not known only to be discovered dead.

He is suspected to have succumbed to Kropper brew christened 'koropa' which is taking lives of imbibers in the area.

Police arrived at the scene and picked the body for more as they launch more probe on the death. 

This comes barely a day after another  man was found dead in Kiamiciri after taking the same illicit liquor.

Cases of the imbibers succumbing to the infamous Kropper liquor are rampant in many boozing dens in Kirinyaga.

Locals are calling on the authority to help curb the preparation, sale and consumption of the liquor in the county.

Typically Kropper brew immobilizes and 'slows down' brain and nervous system which also cause immediate and often irreversible shutdown of vital functions leading to death of the victim.

The Late Millicent W. Caxton Burial Service Venue Change

 BURIAL SERVICE VENUE CHANGES FROM KIBARUINI HOME TO ACK KUTUS GROUNDS

The organizing committee of the late Millicent Waruguru Caxton would wish to notify you on the change of the burial service venue. The alteration was consultatively made to ensure the occasion runs well. 

The burial date remains Friday 8th May 2026. 

The service will be at ACK Church Kutus grounds within the church precincts and not Kibaruini home as prior planned. Thus after the cortege leaves Kibugi Funeral Home we shall all converge at ACK Kutus grounds for the service.

Hospitality will be ushered at the same venue before procession to the graveyard. This is expected to take least time possible so that timelines run as scheduled. 

Subsequently the cortege will proceed to Kibaruini home for a interment service.  Transport to the graveside will be provided. 

Afterwards guests can leave at their own pleasure. 

The programme of the day will be relayed to you.

KIRINYAGA: VIDEO👇👇👇 Thieves Steal Church PA System, Sacraments & Altar Wine

THIEVES STEAL CHURCH PA SYSTEM OF 3 RIAKIANIA CHURCHES, ALSO STEAL ALTAR WINE & SACRAMENTS

• Thieves broke into the 3 Riakiania churches: Catholic, Anglican and Fountain of Life churches yesterday in Riakiania, Kirinyaga County.

• They stole PA system and electronic gadgets

• They also stole sacraments and sacramental wine for holy communion.

Police in Ndia constituency have investigations after residents raised concerns over a spate of break-ins targeting churches in the area after thieves broke into three churches in Riakiania and stole musical and sound equipment.

At Fountain of Life Church International, in Riakiania, Peter Munene said the attackers gained entry through a window before accessing a strong room. 

“They took away microphones, mixers and other equipment worth over KSh200,000. They even drank a bottle of communion wine before leaving,” Munene said. 

Video 👇👇👇

St Joseph Riakiania Catholic Church vice chairman Harrison Mbirui reported that thieves broke into the church through the main gate and stole microphones, mixers, a piano, PMC kits, and other property worth over KSh 500,000. 

“They took advantage of the ongoing rains when everyone was asleep,” Mbirui said.

ACK Riakiania Church was also hit, with Flosy Wambui Murimi saying electronics worth more than KSh 250,000 were stolen and that the matter has been reported to Baricho Police Station. 

“We are wondering where they are taking church equipment. We have reported the matter to Baricho Police Station and officers have visited the church,” Wambui stated. According to the church leaders, the gang appears to be targeting only church equipment, raising fears over how services would proceed. “We don’t know what we will use tomorrow, Sunday. Maybe we will just clap our hands,” one church leader said while asking police to move with speed and arrest the suspects.

A family in Kibaruini Village, Rukenya Sub-location, Kabare Ward, Kirinyaga East Sub-County (Gichugu), Kirinyaga County is morning the death of their kin.

A body of a young man identified as James Murigi, 20 years, was today retrieved from Thiba River near Rukenya Shopping Centre, Kirinyaga East Sub-County, Kirinyaga County.

The deceased had gone missing for days and his whereabouts were not known.

It is suspected he may have committed suicide by drowning although this has not yet been established and substantiated.

The body was picked by the police for morgue as they probe on the cause of the deceased's untimely death. 

Elsewhere residents of Kiuria Village, Nguka Location, Thiba  ward in Mwea West Sub-County are mourning the death of a 65-year-old man, Jackson Gitari who drowned as heavy rains continue to cause flooding in the area.

The deceased was drowned while fetching water from canal stream near a rice farm on Wednesday.

His body was later recovered more than four kilometres downstream at Unit 14 area after a rigorous search by local residents.

Villagers from Kangiciri, Kiuria, Ndorome, and surrounding areas participated in the search.

Some residents linked the incident to the consumption of an illicit brew known locally as “kangai kwigaca,” claiming it has contributed to increased drowning cases during the rainy season.

The incident comes as several parts of Kirinyaga County continue to experience flooding occasioned by heavy downpour that has seen several households displaced.

VIDEO: Uproar As Ruto Says Motorbikes Use Paraffin As Fuel

 UPROAR AS RUTO SAYS MOTORBIKES USE PARAFFIN AS FUEL

President William Ruto: "Vile tumeelewana kuwa ile mafuta ambayo inaitwa paraffin, ambayo inatumiwa na watu wa boda boda, mama mboga na watu wa chini haitabadilika bei; itabaki vile ilivyokuwa kwa sababu tunajali maskini."

• President William Ruto announced that paraffin prices would remain unchanged despite fuel hikes.

• The president highlighted the steps the government has taken to cushion citizens from the rising cost of fuel.

• A section of Kenyans expressed disbelief over Ruto's comments regarding paraffin use by boda boda riders .

President William Ruto has sparked reactions among Kenyans after stating that the cost of paraffin used by boda boda riders will not change despite the fuel hikes. President William Ruto says boda boda riders use paraffin to fuel their bikes.

He made the announcement while addressing the residents of Suneka on Wednesday, April 15, just hours after EPRA announced the new prices. Notably, motorbikes run on petrol and not paraffin or kerosene. 

The president stated that VAT would be reduced from 16% to 8% for the next three months, adding that the government has stepped in with KSh 6.5 billion to reduce the cost of fuel. 

"The cost of fuel has gone up globally. As a country, we still have enough fuel. We have allocated KSh 6.5 billion to reduce the cost of fuel and reduced VAT to 8% from 16% to 8%. We will also ensure that the cost of paraffin, used by ordinary Kenyans, including the boda boda riders and SACCOs, will remain unchanged. We must cushion our citizens from rising costs of fuel," he announced. 

A section of Kenyans on social media had this to say in their comments on Facebook as in the screen record clip below  👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 

The president made the fictitious statements after the United Alternative Government leaders released a statement linking him, Energy CS Oburu Oginga, ODM leader Oburu Oginga, and Public Service PS Felix Koskei to the 'greatest fuel scandal in the country.' The leaders, led by former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua, demanded Ruto reduce certain VATs and convene a special parliament sitting within seven days to address the challenges they mentioned. The opposition leaders stated that they would stage protests over the rising cost of fuel. However, this threat did not frighten Ruto. 

"There are people saying they will protest the high cost of fuel. Will demonstrations help reduce fuel prices? We must use our brains to ensure the costs reduce," Ruto responded

 VIDEOS: ALCOHOL LOOTED AS TRUCK CRASHES ALONG MAGADI ROAD

Traffic momentarily came to a standstill along Magadi Road near Catholic University of East Africa (CUEA) after an alcohol transporting truck was involved in an accident prompting locals and other road users to rush to the scene and part way with crates of free alcohol, an African culture for wolfing down freebies especially edibles. 

Almost all the cargo in the collapsed truck was looted as imbibers engaged in a drinking spree.

They could be seen gulping down bottles of the liquor without minding dangers of broken pieces of bottles. 

Some had to pack the loot in to their vehicles to sell to pubs and thirsty imbibers.

However no casualty was reported in the incidence.

Sending Nudes, Insults On WhatsApp Can Get You 10 Years In Jail, Ksh 20m Fine

Cyber harassment ranks among Kenya’s most urgent cybercrimes, amplified by ubiquitous platforms such as WhatsApp.

Under Section 27 of the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act, 2018 (as amended in 2024 and 2025), the law criminalises willful electronic communication that induces fear of violence, psychological harm, or property damage.

This includes sending grossly offensive or indecent messages, content and stalking.

“Section 27 has a broad reach across digital platforms, applying universally to ‘willful’ electronic acts that cause harm. It captures private individuals engaging in repeated threatening messages, bloggers and activists publishing inflammatory content, public figures, and even State actors such as rogue officials,” says lawyer Essendi Kenneth.

Godfrey Akumali has been moved from the Business and Hustler Opportunities docket to Housing and Urban Renewal, switching roles with Lydia Mathia.

Hibrahim Otieno will be the new Environment CCO and will hand over the Medical Facilities docket to Sande Gyolo.

Gyolo was the CCO for Digital Economy and Start-ups, which was taken over by Wilson Gakuya, who was heading the Smart Nairobi sector.

Machel Waikenda will retain his role at the Mobility docket and will also be the acting ICT Infrastructure CCO.

Zipporah Mwangi has also been moved from the Citizen Engagement and Customer Service docket to City Culture, Arts and Tourism.

Prime Suspect In Kirinyaga Headteacher Kidnapping Nabbed

PRIME SUSPECT IN KIRINYAGA HEADTEACHER KIDNAPPING NABBED 

Kirinyaga East Sub-County detectives have apprehended a prime suspect behind the kidnapping of Gatuto Primary School Headteacher, Joshua Kerai, which occurred on November 4, 2025, in Kagumo, Kirinyaga County.

The suspect, Patrick Gacoki Muembe, and his two accomplices, who are still at large, allegedly pounced on the unsuspecting teacher, bundling him into a maroon Toyota Ractis, registration no. KCP 816F, before subjecting him to a harrowing ordeal as they drove him around in circles.

The victim was later found abandoned and in distress inside the same vehicle at Sahara Petrol Station in Kutus Town. He was rescued by a good Samaritan who rushed him to Kerugoya Catholic Hospital, where he received medical attention.

Following the chilling incident, detectives swung into action, combing through forensic evidence and intelligence leads. Their trail led them straight to Muembe’s hideout in Kutus, where the notorious suspect was smoked out after days of meticulous pursuit.

Investigations have since revealed that Muembe is a serial offender, linked to a string of serious crimes, including motor vehicle theft, stock theft, robberies, and shop break-ins across the region.

The suspect is currently cooling his heels in police custody as detectives pursue additional leads to trail and apprehend his two accomplices, who remain on the run.

All schools will be under one level: Senior High Schools.

• Senior secondary fees for year 2026 set at Ksh.53,554

Kenya has officially scrapped and phased off the national, county, and sub-county school classification system, with the changes taking effect in January 2026.

The new system will categorize secondary schools into clusters based on their ability to offer specific career pathways, moving away from the old location-based system. 

For years since the inception of 8-4-4- system Kenya categorized its secondary schools into four tiers: National (C1), Extra County (C2), County (C3), and Sub-county (C4), with National schools being the most prestigious and often having higher costs, while Sub-county schools are typically day schools with varying quality.

>> Details of the new system

• Scrapping of old categories: The traditional categories of national, extra-county, county, and sub-county schools are being discontinued.

All schools will.be under senior high school category.

• New classification: Schools will be classified into clusters based on their offered career pathways: STEM, Social Science, and Arts & Sports.

> Cluster 1: Schools that can offer all three pathways (STEM, Social Sciences, Arts & Sports).

> Clusters 2-4: Schools that can offer one or two of the pathways.

• Focus on career pathways: The new structure emphasizes specialization at the senior secondary level through the new pathway system.

> STEM pathway: Pure Sciences, Applied Sciences, Technical & Engineering, Careers & Technology Studies.

> Social Sciences pathway: Humanities, Languages & Literature, and Business Studies.

> Arts and Sports pathway: Visual Arts, Performing Arts, and Sports. 

• New criteria: Instead of being defined by size or location, schools will be defined by their readiness to offer specific career pathways.

• Implementation timeline: The new system will be implemented from January 2026.

• Standardized fees: Public boarding senior secondary schools will have a standardized annual fee of Ksh.53,554

>> Why the change?

• Equity and inclusion: The reform aims to promote equity and a fairer distribution of resources.

• Student-centered approach: The new system is a shift toward a more student-centered approach, prioritizing individual talents and career aspirations.

• CBC alignment: This reform aligns with the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), which focuses on skills and competencies.

• Increased access: The reforms are expected to enhance educational access.

In a gory video the distraught husband could be seen badly injured watching as the fire consumed his lovely wife in the house with little efforts to salvage her from the flames.

DISCLAIMER! Disturbing video ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Property worth thousands of shillings was also lost in the evening fire as members of public battled with the flames at the upper floor of the storey plot.

Fire fighters could not access the area on time to quell the flames.

The charred remains of the woman were later picked by the police as they launch more probe on the fire incident.

The husband and others who were injured in the aftermath are currently receiving treatment in the hospital.

8 Kirinyaga Notorious Livestock Thieves Arrested

Story by Sammie Mugane 

Following a series of intelligence-led investigations, detectives have arrested eight individuals suspected to be behind a wave of livestock thefts that have plagued Kirinyaga, Embu, Nyeri, and Murang’a counties. Operating under the cover of darkness, the group is believed to have instilled fear among local farmers through a string of well-coordinated cattle thefts.

Among those arrested are: Patrick Wanjohi Njoki, Peter Muriithi Ngari, Lukes Ochieng Olao, Simon Karagu Murigi, Anthony Mutugi, Daniel Kinyua Wangari, Samuel Gitonga Miano and Cecilia Wanja Njogu — a well-known buyer of stolen livestock based in Mwea, John Macharia Karani, Martin Mwangi Gatimu, and Charles Kariuki Njeru who confessed to having stolen a cow in Kerugoya the previous day, which they later slaughtered. They subsequently transported the carcass to Embu, where it was sold.

Images of the suspects 👇👇👇

The sleuths further recovered a Toyota Probox, registration number KBT 117T, which was found to have been used by the suspects to transport the meat.

While in Embu, investigators arrested Agustino Kiribi Mutea, the proprietor of Capital Butchery, who was found to have purchased 119 kilograms of meat from the aforementioned suspects.

Unaware that their criminal activities had been under close forensic scrutiny, the suspects were caught off guard during a planned raid in Kagio and Mwea towns in Kirinyaga County, just as they were preparing to strike again.

Investigations have revealed that the group includes not only the thieves themselves but also buyers, transporters, and butchers who play various roles in the livestock theft network. 

In a bid to establish the full extent of the suspects’ activities, detectives traced the owner of the stolen cow. Upon reviewing CCTV footage, the suspects were positively identified in the act of committing the crime.

This comes barely hours after 2 suspected cattle thieves were cornered by irate mob in a botched cattle theft.

They were beaten to pulp and set ablaze at Murubara, Mwea after their accomplices managed to escape.

Their charred remains were later picked by police as they launched manhunt for their accomplices to unravel more about the racket. 

Further interrogations led to the discovery of an open field believed to have been used for the slaughter. At the scene, investigators recovered animal intestines and a blood-stained rope, both of which are now part of the ongoing forensic analysis.

All scenes were processed by officers from the Crime Scene Investigations (CSI) unit. The suspects are currently in custody and are expected to be arraigned in court upon the completion of investigations.

The suspects are currently in custody and being processed, pending arraignment.

The National Police Service reaffirms its commitment to rooting out organized crime and ensuring that such individuals are held accountable. Efforts continue to dismantle criminal networks and protect the livelihoods of hardworking farmers across the country.

The thefts have resulted in substantial financial losses for farmers and have disrupted their primary source of livelihood.
