Kiharu MP, Ndindi Nyoro. PHOTO/UGC. BY MUHOHO FRANCIS Kiharu MP, Ndīndī Nyoro, stands as a revealing mirror of Mount Kenya’s contemporary leadership crisis. The Member of Parliament is not a leader in the traditional or transformative sense. Rather, he resembles a discotheque performer of economic rhetoric—animated, visible, and constantly in motion, yet ultimately detached from the structural realities he claims to address. He frequently brandishes spreadsheets, speaks fluently about bottom-up economics, and tweets gross domestic product figures as though he alone discovered the arithmetic of development. Yet the fundamental question remains unanswered: where is the parliamentary Bill that translates these assertions into binding law? Where is the motion designed to dismantle the entrenched coffee cartels that continue to impoverish farmers in Kangema, Mathira, and Othaya? Where is the legislative intervention aimed at breaking the dairy sector monopolies that determine the pr...

Barrister Ntumfon Ndangoh Tah Calvin of Cameroon. PHOTO/UGC. By Ntumfon Ndangoh Tah Calvin Recent reports of xenophobic violence targeting Africans, including Cameroonians and other foreign nationals in South Africa, have once again raised serious concerns about the protection of African citizens within their own continent. The continued silence and apparent lack of decisive response from several African governments, including Cameroon, is both troubling and disappointing. As a Cameroonian, it is difficult to understand why stronger diplomatic measures have not been taken to address the recurring incidents of hostility and discrimination directed at fellow Africans in South Africa. African unity cannot be reduced to rhetoric and slogans while citizens of one African state are attacked, intimidated, or denied opportunities in another. Diplomacy is grounded in mutual respect and reciprocity. The principle is straightforward: if you treat my citizens with dignity and fairness, I will ens...

Global ecommerce fraud is entering a new phase as AI accelerates both criminal activity and customer-driven abuse, according to Ravelin’s Global Fraud Trends 2026 report. Merchants now report rising losses—averaging $11.4m annually—as fraud increasingly blurs the line between external attackers and first-party customers. With 64% experiencing AI-enabled fraud and one in three lacking AI defenses, businesses are struggling to keep pace with automated attacks such as card testing, refund abuse, and account takeover. The study highlights a widening “AI gap” in fraud prevention, where merchants lag behind increasingly sophisticated, AI-powered fraud tactics impacting revenue, reputation, and customer trust.

Andy Burnham has already softened the boldest parts of his platform before he’s even reached Downing Street. The Labour lawmaker, widely expected to become Britain’s next prime minister within weeks, walked back an earlier suggestion that government should free itself from being “in hock to the bond markets,” saying afterward that his remarks had been […]
