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.

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...

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.

Burkina Faso's military junta on Friday cut diplomatic ties with former colonial power France, accusing Paris of acting against its interests and backing subversive networks and militants in the Sahel.

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.
