Babu Owino Reacts to Migori Attack on Kalonzo Musyoka, Tells Politicians What to Do
Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has condemned the attack on Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka and his delegation during a political tour of Migori County.
In a statement, Owino described the incident as an act of political intolerance and said violence had no place in a democratic society.
"I strongly condemn the cowardly and barbaric attack on Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka in Migori. Political intolerance, violence and hooliganism have no place in a constitutional democracy," he said.
Owino urged political leaders to resolve their differences through dialogue and democratic processes rather than intimidation.
"Our democracy must be defended through ideas, not violence; through dialogue, not intimidation; and through the ballot, not hooliganism," he added.
Kalonzo's convoy was attacked during the Migori tour, with stones reportedly damaging vehicles in the delegation. Police officers deployed teargas as tensions escalated.

Oburu Odinga Breaks Silence With Defiant Message to Critics
ODM Party Leader and Siaya Senator Oburu Odinga has delivered a defiant message to his critics, saying those who believed he had fallen or exited the political scene are the same people who gave him the strength to rise again.
Speaking amid ongoing political discussions surrounding his leadership and the future of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), Oburu suggested that criticism and doubts about his political position had instead strengthened his determination.
“Those who said I had gone are the ones who gave me the strength to stand up,” Oburu said.
His remarks carry political significance at a time when ODM continues to navigate questions about its leadership, internal unity and direction following the death of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
As the party's leader, Oburu faces the responsibility of maintaining unity among different political factions while protecting ODM's political influence ahead of the 2027 General Election.
His statement also sends a message to those who may have underestimated his political resilience, suggesting that he is not prepared to surrender his position in the country's political landscape.
Whether the statement marks a renewed political offensive or a broader appeal to party members, one thing is clear: Oburu wants his critics to know that he is still standing.

Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai Warns Kalonzo Over Nyanza Tours Following Migori Attack
Alai, who is a member of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), made the remarks in a post on X. He said Kalonzo should not go to Nyanza with Njiru and Muturi, arguing that the two have never seen any value in the region before. He added that the people of Nyanza should not and cannot tolerate them.
The remarks come shortly after a convoy carrying Kalonzo and other opposition leaders was attacked during a tour of Migori County. Citizen TV Kenya reported that goons clashed with police, and images shared online showed vehicles with shattered windscreens.
The team, which included DAP-Kenya leader Eugene Wamalwa, Nyali MP Mohammed Ali and Muturi, had earlier made a stop in Sori, where Wamalwa said they were warmly received.
Alai's statement singles out Njiru and Muturi rather than Kalonzo himself, suggesting that the ODM legislator has no issue with the Wiper leader visiting the region but objects to those accompanying him.
Njiru, an advocate of the High Court, recently drew attention after he dismissed talk that Kalonzo could be paired with President William Ruto in 2027, describing the idea as a political and moral abomination. Muturi, on the other hand, served in the Cabinet under President Ruto before joining the opposition.
Migori is considered a stronghold of ODM, the party that has vowed to support Ruto's re-election bid in 2027.
The exchange shows the deepening political divide between ODM and the opposition as parties position themselves ahead of the General Election.
While opposition leaders insist every Kenyan has the right to campaign freely in any part of the country, some ODM leaders have signalled that rival politicians are not welcome in regions they consider their turf.
As the campaign season heats up, pressure is expected to grow on leaders from both sides to tone down their rhetoric and ensure that politics remains peaceful.

Safaricom Reports KSh50.35 Billion Profit as M-PESA Revenue Reaches KSh99.7 Billion
Safaricom PLC has reported a profit after tax of KSh50.35 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2026, supported by increased earnings from its mobile money business and other services.
In its half-year financial results released on Thursday, November 5, the telecommunications company disclosed that M-PESA generated KSh99.7 billion in revenue during the reporting period.
The mobile money platform accounted for 46.2 per cent of Safaricom's service revenue in Kenya, making it one of the company's biggest income sources.
Safaricom attributed the growth to increased customer activity, a wider merchant network and rising transaction volumes.
The number of M-PESA customers grew by 7 per cent to 37.3 million, while the total value of transactions processed through the platform increased by 16.6 per cent to KSh23.56 trillion.
The merchant network also expanded by 9.3 per cent to reach 1.1 million businesses, reflecting the continued adoption of mobile money services among traders and other businesses.
The company's overall financial performance also improved during the six-month period.
Total group revenue increased to KSh233.73 billion from KSh204.71 billion recorded during the corresponding period in 2025.
Profit before tax rose to KSh81.33 billion, compared to KSh55.24 billion in the previous year, while operating profit increased to KSh91.14 billion from KSh65.21 billion.
Safaricom further reported that its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) grew by 27.5 per cent to KSh129.1 billion. Its EBITDA margin also improved by 9.1 percentage points to 55.3 per cent.
Profit attributable to the company's equity holders increased to KSh58.15 billion from KSh42.78 billion recorded in the previous corresponding period.
However, losses attributable to non-controlling interests stood at KSh7.80 billion, compared to KSh13.59 billion in the same period last year.
The latest results highlight M-PESA's contribution to Safaricom's earnings, with the platform continuing to account for a substantial share of the company's Kenyan service revenue.
The financial update comes as Safaricom continues to address the legal dispute surrounding the government's sale of a 15 per cent stake in the telecommunications company.
The High Court ruled against the divestiture on September 15, 2026, prompting Safaricom to announce that it was reviewing the judgment and its implications.
The company maintained that it would continue providing services to customers in Kenya and Ethiopia as the legal process progresses.

Motorists Association Opposes Sh200 Billion Thika Road Expressway
The association argues that constructing a highway above the existing Thika Superhighway could duplicate infrastructure instead of providing a lasting solution to congestion along the busy corridor.
In a statement dated Monday, November 2, 2026, MAK questioned the need for an additional elevated road, noting that Thika Road already has multiple lanes, interchanges, pedestrian footbridges, controlled entry points and service roads.
The association pointed out that some sections between Pangani, Wangari Maathai Road and Thika have as many as 12 lanes.
It argued that improving existing junctions and managing traffic more effectively would be a better approach than constructing another road above the current highway.
Concerns over businesses and the environment
MAK has also raised concerns about the possible effects of the elevated structure on businesses operating along Thika Road.
According to the association, the supporting pillars and concrete structures could reduce natural light, increase noise and pollution, and affect the attractiveness of commercial premises.
The group warned that construction activities could also interfere with existing traffic lanes, access roads and businesses, potentially disrupting economic activities along the corridor.
However, the actual effects will depend on the final engineering design and how the construction work is organised.
Questions over traffic congestion
Another concern raised by the association is whether the additional road capacity would solve congestion or simply move traffic jams to other parts of Nairobi.
MAK argues that motorists could experience faster movement along the elevated road but still encounter congestion when connecting to other busy city routes.
It identified Pangani Junction as one of the areas requiring attention and proposed improvements such as cloverleaf interchanges and better traffic management.
The association also mentioned Khoja Roundabout and several exit points along the corridor as areas where improvements could help traffic flow.
Alternative transport proposals
Instead of concentrating investment on another highway, MAK wants the government to strengthen public transport.
Its proposals include improving commuter railway services, developing a high-capacity light rail system, establishing dedicated Bus Rapid Transit corridors and providing better facilities for pedestrians and cyclists.
The association has also suggested developing bypass links connecting Kilimambogo, Tala and Kantafu to Thika Road and Kajiado, alongside improvements to the Mitaboni-Konza corridor.
It believes these alternatives could spread traffic across a wider road network and reduce dependence on private vehicles.
What the government plans
The proposed elevated expressway is expected to cover approximately 60 kilometres, connecting Thika town to Museum Hill in Nairobi, where it would link with the Nairobi Expressway.
President William Ruto announced the project during the 62nd Jamhuri Day celebrations in December 2025.
The government intends to pursue the development through a Public-Private Partnership arrangement. The estimated cost has been reported at between Sh150 billion and Sh200 billion, although the final project cost and financing arrangements remain subject to further studies.
Deputy President Kithure Kindiki said on October 28, 2026, that the President was expected to preside over the groundbreaking ceremony within one to two months.
Design and feasibility studies began in October 2026 to establish the project's engineering requirements, environmental and social effects, traffic capacity and land requirements.
The Motorists Association's opposition adds another dimension to the debate over how Kenya should invest in transport infrastructure, particularly along one of the country's busiest commuter corridors.

What Babu Owino Said After Kalonzo Was Attacked During Migori Rally
Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has strongly condemned the attack on Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka in Migori, where the opposition leader was reportedly targeted during a rally. In a statement, Babu described the incident as cowardly and barbaric.
According to Babu, political intolerance, violence and hooliganism have no place in a constitutional democracy. He insisted that such acts should never be accepted in a country that prides itself on the rule of law, no matter which side of the political divide is involved.
The legislator went on to say that democracy must be defended through ideas and not violence. He argued that leaders should win the hearts of Kenyans through dialogue and not intimidation, and that the ballot remains the only fair way of settling political differences.
His message was a call to all politicians and their supporters to keep campaigns peaceful as the country moves toward the 2027 General Election.
The attack comes shortly after Kalonzo announced his tour of Homa Bay and Migori, part of a wider push by opposition leaders to take their message to different regions.
It also follows recent incidents of chaos linked to political activity, including the reported attack on the vehicle of Hon Jared Nyakundi outside a Kisii radio station, which have raised concern among residents.
Many Kenyans have joined the chorus of condemnation online, with some calling for security agencies to investigate and bring those responsible to book.
Others say the growing wave of violence is a worrying sign of what could lie ahead if leaders fail to rein in their supporters. For now, the focus remains on the safety of politicians and the need to keep the political space open for everyone.

20,000 KMTC Students Fail to Take Up Admission Slots Over Lack of Government Funding
Thousands of students seeking medical training in Kenya are missing out on college opportunities because they cannot afford the fees, the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) has told Members of Parliament.
KMTC Chief Executive Officer Dr Kelly Oluoch raised the concern on November 5, 2026, while appearing before the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) Committee.
Oluoch told MPs that approximately 20,000 students placed through the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) fail to report to KMTC every admission cycle after discovering that they cannot access government loans or scholarships.
He said the college currently has 89,586 students, many of whom face financial difficulties because KMTC operates under the Ministry of Health rather than the Ministry of Education.
This administrative arrangement has created challenges for students seeking financial assistance through the existing higher education funding system.
The KMTC chief executive argued that students pursuing medical training should receive fair access to government support, regardless of the ministry responsible for their institution.
The college trains more than 85 per cent of Kenya's healthcare workforce, making the issue important beyond education.
When students fail to take up admission opportunities, the country risks losing potential nurses, clinical officers, laboratory technicians and other healthcare professionals.
Members of the parliamentary committee also raised concerns about the number of admission spaces left unused.
Kitutu Masaba MP Clive Gisairo proposed that KUCCPS clearly inform applicants about the funding arrangements before they select KMTC courses. This would help students make informed decisions.
Committee chairman Musa Sirma supported the call for government financing, questioning why KMTC trainees should remain outside the wider higher education funding system.
The college is now asking Parliament to help establish a funding arrangement that allows its students to access affordable education loans.

Good News to Nearly 150,000 Graduates as Ruto Clears the Air on What He Has Planned for Them
President William Ruto has said more than 150,000 graduates applied for 50,000 government-paid internship opportunities within 24 hours of the programme being announced. He shared the figures on Thursday, November 5, during a ceremony at State House in Nairobi.
Ruto said applications were being received through a digital platform. He explained that the programme was intended to help young people from universities, colleges and technical and vocational training institutions gain practical experience in workplaces.
The number of applicants is three times the 50,000 positions planned for the first phase. The response points to strong demand among graduates seeking opportunities to use the skills they acquired during their studies.
The programme is expected to begin in January 2027. Ruto said successful interns would receive between KSh20,000 and KSh25,000 each month. The government will meet the payments, including for those placed in private companies.
The placements will cover public service institutions and participating businesses. The President said he had held discussions with industry representatives, including the Kenya Association of Manufacturers, on how companies could take part.
He added that the government would work with universities to prepare for the rollout. Ruto plans to meet university vice-chancellors before Christmas to discuss the programme and ways to connect graduates with employers.
The President has outlined plans to expand the initiative beyond the initial 50,000 positions. The government aims to increase the number to 100,000 and later 200,000 over the next two to three years.
The programme is intended to ease the move from education to employment by giving graduates exposure to professional settings. However, the first intake will have fewer places than the number of people who have already applied.
Further details on selection, placements and the application process are expected from the government as preparations continue ahead of the January start.
