Here is what you need to know to get up to speed with today’s happenings.

Ruto in Haiti

In his detour to New York’s United Nations General Assembly summit (UNGA) address on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, President William Ruto passed by Haiti to motivate the Kenyan police sent to the troubled Caribbean nation.

Meanwhile, during the UN global meeting, Ruto is set to address the global security challenges faced by developing countries in the world and appeal for funding to achieve such efforts. So far, Kenya has the highest representation in the Multinational Security Support Mission in Haiti.

On his tour of the United States earlier in the year, President Joe Biden assured Ruto of tactical and financial support towards the mission to reclaim Haiti from the clutches of gangs.

Reactions to Gachagua’s interview

With today being a Sunday, political leaders are set to take advantage of religious gatherings to dissect statements by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua made in a televised interview on Friday, September 20, 2024.

In the interview, Gachagua revealed plans put in place to oust him from his seat, urging President William Ruto to step in and thwart the attempts by Members of Parliament to impeach him.

So far, Gachagua’s loyalists have come out to defend him from his critics, who are bent on seeing him out of office before the end of the year.

Arsenal and Man City clash

This Sunday will witness a clash of titans in week 5 of the English Premier League fixture pitting Arsenal and rivals Manchester City in a winner-takes-first-position type of match.

While Arsenal are cautious not to let City extend their gap with them so early in the season, coach Pep Guardiola is equally aware that he never won against Mikel Arteta in last season’s home and away matches.

It remains to be seen this evening how the match will pan out.
