Protests over Ojwang’s death

Protests over the death of Albert Ojwang, a 31-year-old teacher and blogger who died in police custody on June 8, 2025, are expected to continue today, as the government has yet to meet the protesters’ demands.

Demonstrators are calling for the resignation of Deputy Inspector General of Police Eliud Lagat and accountability for police brutality.

2025/26 budget

Public and political reactions are expected to continue today following Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi’s presentation of the 2025/26 national budget on June 12.

The budget, which projects 5.3% economic growth, is under scrutiny amid widespread public dissatisfaction with austerity measures proposed in the 2025 Finance Bill.

Discussions on social media and public forums may focus on funding priorities, tax policies, and economic risks like global trade sanctions and extreme weather.

Investigations into police conduct

The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) and other oversight bodies are expected to continue providing updates today on investigations into the death of Albert Ojwang.

On Thursday, IPOA officials and senior police leadership were grilled by the National Assembly over the blogger’s death — a case that has sparked national outrage and intensified calls for justice.
