ODM Unveils Nationwide Mobilisation Drive, Calls for Unity and Action on Cost of Living
In a strong statement following a Central Committee meeting, the party resolved to intensify mobilisation efforts across the country, particularly in its strongholds, while urging members in areas with pending grassroots elections to urgently resolve disputes through internal mechanisms to ensure cohesion and progress.

As part of its revitalisation strategy, ODM will roll out a series of county tours and youth conventions in 25 counties aimed at re-energising its base. The programme kicks off in Nairobi on April 20, followed by Mombasa on April 26, before a scheduled break in early May for a joint NEC and governance retreat.

The party also reaffirmed its commitment to unity and internal democracy ahead of the next general election, pledging free and fair nominations without favoritism. A new digital portal for aspirants seeking elective positions will be launched soon.

At the same time, ODM raised concern over recent public remarks by some senior officials from its broad-based partner, UDA, warning that such statements risk creating unnecessary tension among its members. The party called for mutual respect within the partnership.
On the economy, ODM expressed alarm over rising fuel prices and the growing cost of living, urging the government to take stronger measures to cushion Kenyans despite prevailing global economic pressures.

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.

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...
