Mwala MP Vincent Kawaya has declared that the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) is gaining significant momentum in the Ukambani region, signaling a major political shift driven by grassroots mobilization.

Speaking during an engagement with UDA grassroots coordinators from Masinga Constituency at Kikumini, Kawaya said the party is witnessing growing support from residents who are eager for a new political direction. The meeting, hosted by Joshua Mwalyo, brought together local leaders and mobilizers in what he described as a high-energy and impactful session.
Kawaya, who serves as UDA’s National Organizing Secretary, emphasized that the party is not merely organizing but actively building a strong grassroots network across the region. He noted that UDA’s approach focuses on structured engagement at the ward and village levels, aimed at establishing a formidable political presence.

According to the MP, the response from the ground indicates that many residents are ready to move away from what he termed as years of unfulfilled promises and recycled leadership. He said the people are increasingly becoming organized and determined to reclaim their voice in shaping the region’s leadership.

He reiterated that UDA’s agenda is centered on real empowerment, accountability, and development, distinguishing it from what he described as empty political rhetoric.
Kawaya further revealed that the party is preparing to conduct transparent and credible grassroots elections, which he said will reflect the true will of the people and strengthen internal democracy.

With ongoing mobilization and consolidation efforts, UDA leaders believe the political landscape in Ukambani is rapidly evolving, with the party positioning itself at the forefront of the region’s transformation.

By irene Mwende  NAIROBI, KENYA – Ann Kioko, the Campaign Director for CitizenGO Africa, has delivered a powerful petition on behalf of 12,620 concerned Kenyan citizens, urging President William Ruto to immediately clarify and retract Kenya’s recent vote at the United Nations in favor of extending the controversial mandate on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI). In a strongly worded statement, Kioko expressed deep urgency and grave concern over Kenya’s July 5, 2025 vote endorsing the renewal of the so-called UN Independent Expert on SOGI. According to Kioko, this decision was made without any public consultation or national debate and starkly contradicts the spirit of Kenya’s Constitution, which recognizes the family as the natural and fundamental unit of society. “The SOGI mandate is far from a neutral human rights mechanism,” Kioko said. “It has evolved into a politicized tool used to pressure sovereign nations to accept ideologies that threaten ...

By Irene  At a time when the legal profession faces growing pressure from unethical practices and unqualified actors, Law Society of Kenya (LSK) Council Member candidate Kevin Kachapin has issued a strong call to defend the integrity of advocacy. Speaking on the need to safeguard the profession, Kachapin warned that the rise of quacks and masqueraders posing as advocates poses a serious threat to both the public and genuine practitioners. He noted that such practices erode trust in the justice system and expose clients to grave risks, while hardworking advocates see their profession devalued. Equally concerning, Kachapin said, is the culture of unethical undercutting within the profession, where legal services are cheapened at the expense of quality, competence, and fairness. He emphasized that legal practice must be anchored on integrity, professional skill, and fair competition — not shortcuts that undermine standards. “This is not about gatekeeping,” Kachapin said. “...
