AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

2027 Opposition Chess: Rigathi Gachagua says he has nearly 12 million supporters—8m from Mt Kenya, 1m in Nairobi, 1m Maasai and 600k Kipsigis—while positioning himself for the opposition flagbearer role and pushing for talks with other presidential hopefuls. Electoral Prep & Media Rules: The Media Council of Kenya’s 2027 election coverage guidelines are being framed as a “seatbelt” for accuracy, verification, fairness and accountability as newsrooms gear up for a politically charged year. Homa Bay Flashpoint: Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga defends the county’s road woes as decades of marginalisation, not devolution failure, as violence and attacks around the Linda Mwananchi rally keep dominating the political conversation. Security & Police Scrutiny: Activists protested outside Jogoo House demanding IGP Douglas Kanja’s resignation over alleged brutality and deaths in custody; meanwhile, NCIC probes violence linked to the rally. Political Violence Claims: Fred Matiang’i alleges Ruto’s presidency was aware of goon mobilisation ahead of the Homa Bay chaos, warning violence could shape the 2027 contest. Economy/IMF & Bonds: Ruto’s team is split on how to raise external finance ahead of IMF talks, with plans floated for panda bonds, Samurai bonds and a Eurobond—plus a debt-for-food swap. Energy Costs: EPRA raised electricity charges for August, adding fuel, FX and water management costs to kWh prices. Health Summit: Government prepares to showcase health reforms at the Kenya Health Summit, with focus on UHC, financing, medicines and workforce.
