Mombasa, Kenya – In a time when unity and partnership among leaders are seen as crucial for the development of the country, Kenya’s political landscape is facing a conundrum that questions the sincerity of such unity. The recent expulsion of five Members of Parliament from the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) for interacting and supporting projects from a rival party has raised concerns about political allegiance and party loyalty versus the need for a collaborative approach to governance.
The backdrop of this controversy is the congratulatory messages and speeches given by various leaders across party lines when His Excellency William Ruto was announced as the President of Kenya. Many leaders, including those from opposition parties, extended their congratulations to President Ruto, emphasizing the importance of working together for the betterment of the nation.

While many of us think of Eid al-Adha as a day of celebration, coming together, interacting, and feasting, its history is rooted in a solemn act of sacrifice and devotion. This significant Islamic holiday holds deep meaning for Muslims, symbolizing selflessness and compassion. Today, Muslims worldwide will assemble for this feast of sacrifice, commemorating the profound story of Ibrahim and his unwavering faith in Allah’s command.
In Mecca, Saudi Arabia, the holiest city in Islam, Muslims gather to glorify the devotion of Ibrahim (Abraham) and his willingness to sacrifice his only son, Ismail (Ishmael), following Allah’s command. This act of obedience and submission serves as a testament to the unwavering faith of Ibrahim, which is celebrated during Eid al-Adha.

Healthcare workers in Mombasa have launched a go-slow to protest the county government’s failure to pay their salaries and statutory deductions. The workers held a press briefing at the Coast General Provincial Hospital in Mombasa, where they aired their grievances through various union leaders.
One of the key complaints was the unpaid NHIF payments, which they say have not been made since January. This has left healthcare workers unable to access medical services that they themselves offer, leading to demoralization and a decline in morale among the workers.

The Association of Media Women in Kenya (AMWIK), in conjunction with the Kenya Community Media Network, on Tuesday held a workshop on sexual harassment in the media industry in Mombasa. The event was attended by journalists and media professionals from various media houses in the county, and aimed to raise awareness about the issue of sexual harassment in the workplace.
AMWIK, in collaboration with partners such as Article 19 and the PROTECT – Kenya Project, has developed a model sexual harassment policy that they hope will be adopted by media houses that do not have a mechanism to handle sexual harassment in the workplace.
