In Summary


  • The hearing of the impeachment case against former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua resumes today.
  • An autopsy on the body of former Wells Fargo manager Willis Ayieko will be conducted today.


Supreme Court will today deliver its verdict on the Appeal regarding the Finance Act 2023 which was declared by the court of appeal as unconstitutional.

The seven judges led by Chief Justice Martha Koome will deliver the ruling at 4 pm.

The Appeal was filed by the government, including the Attorney General (AG), the Cabinet Secretary for Treasury, the National Assembly, and the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).
Gachagua case

The hearing of the impeachment case against former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua resumes today.

The bench is led by Justice Eric Ogola who is the High Court's most senior judge given his position as the principal judge.

The other two are justices Anthony Mrima and Freda Mugambi.

The bench last week dismissed the petitioners' application for recusal after finding the claims raised as unsubstantiated and falling short of the threshold required for the recusal of a judge.

The hearing starts at 10 am at the Milimani High Court in Nairobi.

Ayieko's body autopsy

A postmortem will be conducted on the body of slain Wells Fargo Human Resource Manager Willis Onyango Ayieko to establish how he died.

This will also form the basis of the case detectives are preparing.

Sources aware of the probe revealed they have a clue on the motive and hope to make arrests soon.

The autopsy will be conducted Tuesday in Nairobi where the body was moved to as investigations go on.
Among those so far grilled include two M-Pesa agents who operate in Siaya.

This is after it emerged the killers of Ayieko withdrew money from his mobile phone through mobile banking.

KPLC trading results

The Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) will host an investor briefing and announcement of the trading results for the FY 2023-24.

It will be held at the Sarova Stanley Hotel, Nairobi.

Employment summit

Labor Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua is scheduled to officially open the East African employment summit.

It is being held at the KICC.

Femicide cases

FIDA-Kenya, Kenya University student leaders' and women's rights organisations (WROs) will address the press regarding the increased cases of femicide in the country.
