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

President William Ruto will today, March 9, 2025, be in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County, where he will worship.

The head of state will be hosted by the area governor, Jonathan Chelilim, and he is expected to grace the 8th anniversary celebration and thanksgiving ceremony at AIC Fellowship Annex in Eldoret town.

A host of Members of Parliament (MPs) from the area will join President Ruto. With the event coming just two days after Ruto entered into a deal dubbed a joint working framework agreement with Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga, much is expected from the political leaders who will attend the event.

Whereas President William Ruto will be worshipping in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County, Wiper Democratic Movement party leader Kalonzo Musyoka, who has since declared himself the people’s loyal opposition, will attend a church service in Nairobi.

Kalonzo, who will be joined by a host of opposition leaders, will be at the Christian Foundation Fellowship (CFF) in Nairobi at 10:00 am. The church is located near the Bunyala Roundabout.

Kalonzo, who has been criticising the recent deal signed by Ruto and Raila, is expected to continue with his crticism.

Kalonzo on Friday, March 7, 2025, regretted that a union between the two parties will still be dismissed by the public following the Kenya Kwanza policies refuted by the members of the public. He also noted that the pact is the biggest betrayal to Kenyans.

“What has come out of KICC today is the biggest betrayal of Kenyans. The People’s Loyal Coalition will never betray Kenyans for temporary comfort,” Kalonzo said.

He also pointed out that Raila would be betraying Kenyans if he fails to advocate for the compensation of Kenyans killed and injured during the Finance Bill protests.

“If out of what they are signing at KICC, they do not come with a formula on how to address the injustice meted on Kenyans on June 25 and 2023, that will be a betrayal in the city. Handshake or no handshake, Ruto must go.”

Mixed reactions are expected following reports that Dela Ward Member of County Assembly (MCA) Yussuf Hussein has reunited with his family in Nairobi, months after he disappeared in September last year.

Eldas Member of Parliament Adan Keynan, also a relative of Yusuf, confirmed his return, stating that he is in good health and good spirits.

News of Yussuf’s return on Saturday evening sparked celebrations in several locations, with videos circulating online showing him joining his family in Nairobi, albeit looking weak.
