Nairobi, 22nd April 2026 – The Jubilee Party has called for unity within the opposition ahead of the forthcoming Ol Kalou by-election, urging its coalition partners to rally behind a single candidate under its banner.
In a press statement issued from its Nairobi offices at Daraja House, State House Road, the party paid tribute to the late Hon. David Kiaraho, the former Member of Parliament for Ol Kalou Constituency, describing him as a dedicated leader whose service was marked by humility and strong ties with his constituents.
Following his burial, the party confirmed that it will field a candidate in the upcoming by-election, citing its previous hold on the parliamentary seat. Jubilee assured its members and residents of Ol Kalou that the nomination process will be free, fair, and transparent, reflecting democratic principles.
At the same time, the party emphasized the importance of opposition unity, urging coalition partners to support a single joint candidate in order to strengthen their political standing and present a credible alternative to voters.
“This is a defining moment for the opposition. Kenyans are increasingly calling for unity of purpose, cooperation, and strategic leadership over fragmentation,” the statement read.
Jubilee highlighted its previous efforts toward opposition unity, noting instances in Mbeere North and Emurua Dikirr where it stepped aside or supported joint candidates in the spirit of collaboration. The party said such decisions were intentional and aligned with public expectations for a united political front.
However, Jubilee also clarified that it will participate in all electoral contests nationwide, including MCA, parliamentary, and presidential positions in the 2027 General Election.
The statement was signed by the Secretary General, Hon. Moitalel Ole Kenta.

Consortium of August 7 Victims Expresses Frustration After High Court Dismisses Compensation Claims

Story by Ayubu John photo journalist from Afrimedia Group news   The High Court has dismissed a petition seeking compensation for survivors and families of the August 7, 1998 U.S. Embassy bombing, a decision that has sparked frustration and disappointment among those affected. The petitioners had argued that the Kenyan government ignored prior warnings that could have prevented the attack, which killed over 200 people and injured thousands. In his ruling, Justice Lawrence Mugambi said the petitioners failed to present credible evidence showing the State had actionable intelligence or neglected to act. Many of the reports submitted were ruled hearsay, as the authors did not testify in court. “The burden of proof lies on those who seek the court’s intervention,” Justice Mugambi emphasized. Strong Reaction from Victims’ Representatives The Consortium of August 7 victims, which represents survivors and families affected by the bombing, described...

Story by Ayubu John photo journalist Afrimedia Group news  Kenya’s apiculture sector has received a major boost following the launch of Africa’s first organized Bee Venom Marketplace by Savannah Honey, in an event officiated by Wycliffe Oparanya, Cabinet Secretary for Cooperatives and MSMEs. The initiative marks a strategic shift from traditional honey production to high-value bee products such as venom, propolis, pollen, royal jelly and beeswax — positioning Kenya to tap into a global bee venom market currently valued at about US$370 million. Savannah Honey CEO Kyalo Mutua said African farmers have long been unable to benefit from bee venom due to lack of structured markets, quality standards and coordination. The new marketplace aims to address these challenges by offering standardized collection methods, farmer training, traceability systems and guaranteed market access. Under the model, a single hive can produce up to 10 grams of venom annual...
