Anti-Terror Police Kill Several Suspected Terrorists While Attempting to Enter Kenya

Several terrorists were gunned down by a multi-agency security team while attempting to enter the country through the Kenya-Somalia border.The well-coordinated attack and swift action by the specialised officers prevented a potential threat to the country's national security, restoring calm along the ever-risky border.

A statement by the Counter Terrorism Policing Kenya on Sunday, November 30, revealed that the militants attempted to breach the border under the cover of darkness.
However, the specialised officers deployed on the Kenya-Somalia border quickly detected the unusual activity early before the militants entered the country.The multi-agency team, consisting of officers from the counter terrorism department, intercepted the suspected terrorists and gunned them down, killing all of them on the spot.

"A group of terrorists attempted to infiltrate our border. Our Special teams manning our border taught them a lesson. Our superior firepower and committed officers will always win against the enemies of our nation," the Anti Terrorism Unit revealed.

Images shared by the security officers showed the bodies of the suspected terrorists lying on dusty ground. It is not, however, clear the exact number of militants who were killed.The incident comes amidst concerns over the surging cases of insecurity along the Kenya-Somalia border, mainly posed by suspected terrorists crossing into the country from Somalia.This comes just a month after the Special Operations Group (SOG) successfully thwarted a planne⁠d terror‌ attack by Al-Shabaab militants in Garissa County.

Reports indicated that about eight Al-Shabaab militants had reportedly set up Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDS) at the Welmerer-Yumbia area when SOG received the intelligence.

The officers immediately responded and en‌gag‌ed‍ the militants in a fierce exchange of fire, managing to‌ r‌e‍recover seve‍ral assem‍bled explosives that wer‍e allegedly intended for a‌ttacks against Kenyans.

While addressing members of the public moments after the successful mission, security off‌ici⁠als commended⁠ the loc‌al community for their vigilance, noting that the timely intelligence helped curb a crisis.

CS Mutua Asks Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka To Quit Politics Over Failing To Bring Development In Ukambani

Labour Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua has asked Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka to quit politics for failing to bring development in the Ukambani region when he served as a public servant. The former Machakos Governor and Maendeleo Chap Chap leader CS Dr Alfred Mutua said this during a Kamba community resource mobilization drive to purchase a community bus, held in Kilifi County on 29th November 2025. The CS claimed that Kalonzo had been in public service for over 40 years, yet he did not ensure development in the Ukambani region.

"From Mwingi to Kalonzo's home in Tseikuru, he has been in government for 40 years, yet he has not built a road even at his home; he has not installed electricity at his home; there is no water at his home," the CS claimed.

The Labour CS accused the Wiper leader of running politics of poverty. Mutua further claimed that Kalonzo's time is up, asserting that he is launching a revolution to remove Kalonzo as the kingpin of the Kamba region.

"We want to give Kalonzo Musyoka a notice that now we are launching a revolution. Kalonzo must leave the space for us to drive development politics in Ukambani," CS Mutua said.

The CS is part of the Kenya Kwanza brigade that is opposing Kalonzo in the Ukambani region.

However,Kalonzo's Wiper party is dominant in the Ukambani region with 14 Members of Parliament, 3 governors, and over 60 elected MCAs across the 3 counties.The Wiper party beat Maendeleo Chap Chap in the 27th November 2025 by-elections in Mumbuni North Ward.

Wiper's Antony Kisoi won the election by 3849 votes, beating Maendeleo Chap Chap candidate Harrison Wambua, who got 2766 votes.

David Ndii Explains Why There Is a Drop in M-PESA Agent Transactions

The Chairperson of the President’s Council of Economic Advisors, David Ndii, has dismissed concerns over the recent decline in M-PESA agent transactions.

In a statement dated Sunday, November 30, 2025, Ndii was responding to a Kenyan who claimed that the drop in M-PESA transactions from KSh 6.51 trillion in 2024 to KSh 5.17 trillion in the first nine months of 2025 was caused by higher taxes, stagnant wages, and inflation eroding disposable income.The user argued that, with less cash available, many people were avoiding deposits and withdrawals and opting instead for direct bank-to-M-Pesa or peer-to-peer transfers.

Ndii dismissed this argument, saying the trend reflects a positive shift in Kenya’s digital finance landscape.He explained that reduced cash handling at M-PESA outlets is consistent with the wider adoption of cashless payments.He added that the data signals accelerated digital financial inclusion, not a decline in mobile money usage.

“You’re contradicting yourself, trying to fit a negative narrative not supported by the data. Less cash, more digital transactions, is in keeping with the trend toward a cashless economy. The correct reading is accelerated digital financial inclusion,” said Ndii.

Another social media user, Awakened Ndichu, echoed Ndii’s sentiments, saying the decline in M-PESA agent activity is a natural outcome of changing consumer habits.He noted that more Kenyans now settle daily expenses through digital options such as Pochi la Biashara, reducing the need for withdrawals or face-to-face agent services.

According to him, with nearly 80 percent of commuters already paying fares digitally, and withdrawal charges remaining high, many users are intentionally shifting toward fully digital transactions.

“David Ndii’s statement is correct. There is a diminishing need for agent services such as withdrawals as more people use digital transactions, not cash, to settle most of their needs. About 80% of commuters pay fare via Pochi. Withdrawals are punitive, so folks are avoiding them,” said Ndichu.

Another Kenyan, identified as Mwaniki Mwangi, also weighed in on the conversation, suggesting that the drop in M-PESA agent transactions could simply reflect changing customer behavior.

“If it’s purely a question of withdrawals, it could be changing customer behaviour. Nowadays, you hardly need to withdraw cash. What for, when there’s Lipa na M-PESA? Personally, I can go for months without handling cash,” said Mwaniki.

However, others disagreed with Ndii’s assessment. Murithi Magari argued that increased digital transactions do not automatically translate to greater liquidity for ordinary citizens.

“Do you live in an alternative reality, chief? More digital transactions don’t necessarily mean more cash. Digital transactions could have increased in only certain cadres. A drop in M-PESA transactions would be worrying because that is where the common mwananchi is,” Magari argued

MARRIAGE FRAUD CASE -4 KENYANS ARRESTED IN TEXAS

Four Kenyan nationals residing in Houston were sentenced today for marriage fraud, visa fraud and conspiracy to commit marriage fraud. Herman Ogoti, 53, Alfonso Ongaga, 36, Andrew Mokoro, 36, and Rebmann Ongaga, 33, were convicted following a seven-day trial on Nov. 14, 2013. Ogoti and Alfonso Ongaga were also convicted of unlawful procurement of naturalization.

The case was investigated by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Office of Fraud Detection and National Security; U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations; and the Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service.

Alfonso Ongaga and Andrew Mokoro were sentenced to 16 months in federal prison, while Ogoti and Rebmann Ongaga each received six-month terms. The judge also revoked the naturalization of Ogoti and Alfonso Ongaga, thereby stripping them of their fraudulently acquired U.S. citizenship.

According to evidence presented during the trial, the defendants conspired to recruit and pay U.S citizens to enter into fraudulent marriages for the purpose of receiving lawful permanent resident status or citizenship. Each of the defendants applied for student visas to enter the United States. All but Rebmann Ongaga’s was granted. After his student visa was denied, Rebmann Ongaga, working with his other co-conspirators, flew a recruited U.S. citizen to Kenya to conduct a sham wedding ceremony. Several months later, Rebmann Ongaga entered the United States with a visa as the spouse of a U.S. citizen.

After entering the country, the other defendants married recruited American citizens; each recruited woman was to be paid $5,000 for her participation in the sham marriages.

The scheme was uncovered on Nov. 10, 2009, after two recruited women were detained at the U.S. Passport Office in Houston, suspected of committing passport fraud. They had told officials that they were traveling to Africa “to see the animals,” although they did not know where. Upon further questioning, they admitted they were both recruited to travel to Africa to marry the recruiters’ family members.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kebharu H. Smith and Suzanne Elmilady, from the Southern District of Texas, and U.S. Department of Justice Trial Attorney Ashlee McFarlane prosecuted this case.

The administration of Donald Trump has announced a major change affecting Kenyans and other foreign nationals living in the United States. The government has officially ended the policy that allowed automatic extensions of work permits for immigrants who were waiting for their renewal to be approved.

This means that anyone whose work permit is nearing expiry will no longer be guaranteed an automatic extension while their application is still being processed. Instead, individuals must wait until the renewal is fully approved before they can continue working legally in the country.

The change is expected to create challenges for many immigrants, especially those whose jobs depend on uninterrupted work authorization. In the past, the automatic extension helped protect people from losing their income simply because of long processing delays at immigration offices.

With this new policy, immigrants are being advised to apply for their work permit renewals as early as possible to avoid gaps that could affect their employment, housing, or ability to support their families. This decision adds new pressure on foreign workers, including thousands of Kenyans who depend on steady legal employment in the U.S.

As the policy takes effect, many advocacy groups are calling for a review, warning that the sudden change may disrupt workplaces and place unnecessary hardship on law-abiding immigrants.

After the shocking revelation of a Kenyan driver being attacked in Dubai, more disturbing stories are now coming to light. This time, a Ghanaian Uber taxi driver has come forward after surviving a brutal assault from a male passenger during an early-morning ride. According to the video recorded in the car dash camera, the attacker turned violent shortly after being picked up, assaulted the driver, and even attempted to strangle him inside the vehicle. The Ghanaian driver fought for his life, managed to break free, and ran out to call the police for help.

A video of the incident is already circulating, raising serious questions about the safety of migrant drivers working in Dubai. What began as one man’s cry for justice has now opened the floodgates. More drivers across Dubai are stepping forward, revealing that such attacks are becoming alarmingly common. Many of these men say they live in constant fear each time they start their shift, unsure of what kind of passenger they might encounter.

Several drivers are now publicly appealing to the UAE government to intervene, protect migrant workers, and arrest the perpetrators behind these attacks. One driver from Uganda, who requested anonymity, revealed that he also survived a similar assault. He claimed these attacks are often carried out by certain UAE nationals who attempt to force drivers into acts of so**my and then threaten them into silence. His testimony sheds light on a dark reality that many have been too afraid to speak about.

This new wave of revelations shows that migrant drivers in Dubai are facing dangers far beyond what the public sees. They work long hours, far from home, only to find themselves exposed to violence, harassment, and trauma that they cannot even report without fear of losing their livelihood or being deported. Their stories deserve to be heard. Their safety must be taken seriously. And the world needs to pay attention.

This is not just about one Kenyan driver or one Ghanaian driver. It is about a pattern of abuse that has been kept hidden for too long. It is time for accountability, protection, and justice for all migrant workers whose voices have been ignored in silence.

A Kenyan Family in Deep Mourning After Tragic Shooting

An entire family is going into Christmas Festive with broken hearts after 43-year-old Frederick Kiprono, a Kenyan Uber driver living in Shreveport, Louisiana USA, was shot and killed on Wednesday night along Clyde Fant Parkway.

According to Shreveport police, Kiprono had two passengers in his vehicle when the shooting happened. One of them, 18-year-old Tatum Ashley, died on the scene. The second passenger is still hospitalized. Investigators have not released any further details about what triggered the attack.

Kiprono, who moved from Kenya to the U.S. searching for better opportunities, was the oldest of four siblings. His brother, William Songock, who studied at LSU Shreveport, had encouraged him to relocate from Illinois back in 2018. Today, he says he carries a heavy burden of guilt, describing Kiprono as a humble, hardworking man who simply went out to earn a living.

As the family begins the difficult journey of preparing to send his body back home, Kenyans both in the diaspora and in Kenya have come together in solidarity. Through their collective efforts, they have raised over KSh 1 million to support the repatriation of his remains and cover burial expenses.

This tragedy has shaken many, but it has also shown the strength of unity within the Kenyan community worldwide. May Frederick Kiprono rest in peace, and may healing find their families during this painful time.

Fake nurse Christine Nyambura Muturi,arrested in Arizona

Authorities in Arizona have arrested a Kenyan woman accused of impersonating a registered nurse and using another person’s professional credentials to treat patients in multiple hospice settings.

Christine Nyambura Muturi, widely known as Christine Lewis, is facing a string of serious charges, including forgery, fraud schemes, practicing nursing without a valid license, and computer tampering.

According to court documents, Lewis was hired in August by Northern Arizona Hospice (NAZ) in Cottonwood after presenting herself as a qualified registered nurse. In her application, she claimed to have worked as a triage nurse at a Las Vegas hospital between 2019 and 2022 and described herself as a “compassionate and highly skilled registered nurse” with years of hospice experience. She also submitted what appeared to be a valid multi-state nursing license from Colorado.

During her initial weeks, Lewis accompanied other nurses on patient visits and conducted one solo assignment on August 15. However, her façade quickly unraveled. NAZ administrators discovered that the Colorado license she presented had been issued four years before she was born. While the name matched hers, the true license holder was a woman 27 years older who later confirmed she had never met Lewis and had never authorized anyone to use her credentials.

When confronted by NAZ officials, Lewis resigned immediately.

The situation escalated when NAZ learned she had already secured employment at Golden Rose Hospice in Mesa. The Cottonwood Police Department was alerted, triggering a deeper investigation. Authorities later confirmed that Lewis had never been licensed as a registered nurse in any state.

On November 13, an undercover agent from the Arizona Attorney General’s Office met with Lewis under the pretense of preparing to open a new hospice facility. During the meeting, she falsely claimed to hold an active nursing license. That lie reportedly cleared the way for her arrest.

Lewis was taken into custody at her home in Mesa, near Crismon Road and Ray Road, on Tuesday afternoon. She was denied bail due to her criminal history, which includes previous arrests for domestic battery in Las Vegas and an earlier fugitive-from-justice case in Los Angeles.

Authorities say the investigation is ongoing, and additional charges may follow as they assess the full extent of her activities at the hospice facilities
