The Trump administration has initiated an investigation into Kenyan officials, including President William Ruto, over alleged links to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and involvement in abductions. This probe coincides with U.S. lawmakers examining Kenya's non-NATO ally status, with some Kenyan political figures, such as Gachagua, expressing support for the review. Concerns have been raised about the empowerment of non-police entities by political actors to carry out law enforcement roles, as well as allegations that Kenya violated international customary law by returning individuals to jurisdictions where they faced persecution. Separately, American senators have begun a process to investigate President Ruto's administration following accusations related to the killing of government critics during recent protests. In other news, a Kenyan preacher granted asylum in Canada is now facing deportation. Additionally, a road accident in Kisii County resulted in two deaths and 11 injuries after a lorry lost control and rammed into stationary vehicles and pedestrians at Daraja Mbili Market. Various local developments include government efforts to expand roads in Garissa, initiatives to support women entrepreneurs in Mandera with sewing machines, and the distribution of boats to fishermen in Kwale to boost the fishing industry.
