In Kiwayu, residents are demanding title deeds to end a 40-year land dispute with the Kenya Wildlife Service. Meanwhile, police deployment has emptied Kitale market amid rising political tension linked to the feud between President William Ruto and Governor George Natembeya.

Busia is preparing to host an estimated 50,000 visitors for the Iteso cultural celebrations, an event expected to bring together communities to showcase their heritage and traditions.
