Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has levelled fresh accusations against Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai, alleging that he is involved in multiple attempts to take over privately owned parcels of land in several upscale Nairobi estates such as Runda, Kileleshwa and Lavington.

The Executive Office of the President is facing scrutiny over KSh14.5 billion in pending bills for the 2023/24 financial year, most of which stem from the defunct Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS).

Officials told Parliament that KSh14.1 billion represents inherited liabilities, while only KSh386 million was incurred by the office during the year.

The Auditor-General warned that unpaid bills disrupt budget execution and strain future spending. Lawmakers questioned weak documentation and verification processes.

With rising concerns over overspending and fiscal discipline, the issue highlights deeper weaknesses in public finance management and the need for stricter controls on government liabilities and budget implementation.

The High Court has dismissed an application by Jackson Kihara Gachucha, a man who claims to be the son of the late Nyeri Governor Nderitu Gachagua, seeking a review of his 20-year sentence for robbery with violence.

The court termed the application an abuse of the judicial process, effectively upholding the jail term. Gachucha, who is also reported to be a nephew of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, will continue serving his sentence after the bid for relief failed.
