A JOURNEY OF FAITH: HOW LIBAAN BUS HELPS PASSENGERS PRAY ON THE ROAD TO LODWAR

On a crisp morning en route from Nairobi to Lodwar, passengers aboard the Libaan Bus experienced more than just a scenic journey—they found a moment of spiritual pause.

Tucked in the lower compartment of the bus is a humble 20-liter container of water, not for drinking, but for something equally essential: ablution. This thoughtful provision ensures that passengers can maintain their prayers on time, even when the road stretches long and the dawn breaks miles from home.

As the bus approached Lodwar, the call to Fajr prayer coincided with the journey. The driver pulled over at a safe spot, and passengers eagerly prepared for ablution. Their hearts focused, they performed their prayers and engaged in dhikr, embracing a serene moment amidst the hum of travel.

After twenty minutes of spiritual refreshment, the bus rolled onward, carrying passengers not only toward their destination but also with a sense of fulfillment and peace.

Libaan Bus Company’s thoughtful gesture reminds travelers that even on the move, faith and journey can travel together.

THE UNSEEN GIANT OF MANDERA: SHIMBIR FATUMA’S BATTLE FOR RECOGNITION

Shimbir Fatuma, one of Mandera County’s oldest and most historically rooted villages, is once again drawing public attention. Not for advancement, but for the deep, longstanding neglect that residents say has defined their lives under devolution.

Despite its unmatched heritage and large population, the village remains trapped in what locals describe as “colonial-era conditions.” While neighbouring villages have expanded, modernized, and even earned elevation to higher administrative ranks, Shimbir Fatuma has watched from the sidelines, untouched by meaningful development.

Almost 15 years into county governance, key services remain painfully inadequate. Roads leading into the area are dilapidated and often impassable. The health centre struggles with staffing shortages and insufficient equipment. Access to clean, reliable water is inconsistent, and local schools operate with minimal resources and chronic understaffing ,A reality residents say has become the norm.

Community members attribute this stagnation to a familiar political pattern: leaders arriving during campaign seasons with ambitious promises, only to disappear once the votes are secured. “We are only remembered during elections,” one elder remarked. “When the campaigns end, so does any hope of development.”

In response, residents are now intensifying their call for the village to be elevated to Sub-County status. They argue that, given Shimbir Fatuma’s long history, dense population, and strategic geographical significance, the village deserves the same administrative recognition granted to others with far fewer qualifications.

For them, the elevation is not just a matter of status — it represents access to resources, structured planning, improved service delivery, and long-lost dignity.

“It is unacceptable that in 2025 we are still struggling for the most basic services,” said a youth leader. “Shimbir Fatuma deserves equal opportunities, equal development, and equal leadership attention.”

As pressure mounts, residents now look to the Mandera County Government to break the cycle of neglect and deliver the long-overdue development the village has been denied for far too long.

Shimbir Fatuma, the unseen giant of Mandera, is no longer silent ,And its call for recognition is growing louder by the day.

42 PILGRIMS KILLED IN SAUDI BUS–TANKER CRASH

A horrific accident on the Mecca–Medina highway early Monday claimed the lives of 42 Indian pilgrims, all reported to be from Hyderabad.

The bus, carrying Umrah pilgrims, collided with a fuel tanker near Mufrihat and burst into flames, leaving only one survivor. Saudi Civil Defense teams said the fire made rescue extremely difficult.

SAKU MP DIDO RASO URGES PRESIDENT RUTO TO REVIVE BADASA DAM AS WATER CRISIS DEEPENS

Saku Member of Parliament, Hon. Dido Raso, has called on President William Ruto to urgently intervene in the growing water crisis facing Marsabit Town by reviving the stalled Badasa Dam project.

Raso warned that the town’s very survival is at stake if the perennial water shortages are not addressed. “If we don’t have water in Marsabit Town, then there is no Marsabit Town. We cannot lie to ourselves,” he stated, underscoring the severity of the situation.

Hon. Raso emphasized that Badasa Dam remains the only long-term, reliable solution to the chronic water scarcity that has plagued residents for years. He urged the national government to prioritize the project, noting its potential to transform livelihoods, support economic growth, and secure Marsabit’s future.

The legislator further appealed to President Ruto to fast-track funding and technical support to ensure the dam’s revival.

The call comes at a time when communities across the region continue to grapple with acute shortages, forcing households to rely on expensive and inconsistent water sources.

PRESIDENT RUTO DIRECTS UNINTERRUPTED SUPPLY OF DRUGS TO HOSPITALS, URGES ID REGISTRATION IN MARSABIT

President William Ruto has directed the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) to ensure that all public health facilities are consistently supplied with medicines. Speaking at the 60th anniversary celebrations of AIC Loglogo Church in Laisamis Constituency, Marsabit County, President Ruto said the new system of delivering medicines directly to hospitals will guarantee uninterrupted healthcare services under the Universal Health Coverage programme.

He urged Kenyans to register with the Social Health Authority (SHA) to access free outpatient services at dispensaries, health centres, sub-county hospitals, and selected faith-based and private hospitals. The President also highlighted that the government has abolished extra ID vetting requirements at border counties, enabling all residents, including those in Marsabit, to acquire national identity cards freely and without discrimination.

Addressing infrastructure needs, President Ruto said Parliament will be urged to establish a National Infrastructure Fund to support the construction of at least 10,000km of tarmac roads, requiring approximately KSh1.5 trillion. He further announced that Marsabit County has been allocated KSh4.5 billion for affordable housing, fresh produce markets, and student hostels, alongside KSh1.6 billion to expand electricity connections to more households.

On local administrative matters, President Ruto directed Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen to consider requests for the creation of additional administrative units, including sub-counties.

He also commended the Church for its role in development and peacebuilding, while Mr. Murkomen acknowledged the contribution of religious organizations in resolving inter-clan conflicts and restoring peace in the border county
