In Kenya, politician allegedly owes 6.1 million Kenyan shillings after family event
In Kenya, an influential politician whose name has not been disclosed allegedly ended up with a bill of 6.1 million Kenyan shillings after a family event to which he invited other politicians. As Nation Kenya reports, the host expected the invited guests to help cover the expenses, but most of them made no contributions.
The expected contributions did not arrive
According to people close to the politician, he received financial support from only one close ally, who allegedly contributed 1 million shillings. Other high-ranking guests, according to these claims, left the event without announcing contributions.
The publication writes that the politician had taken on debt obligations in advance, expecting contributions from colleagues. Suppliers of tents, food and other services are now demanding payment.

Reports of a former MP's eviction
In the same roundup, Nation Kenya also mentions a former MP from Nyanza who plans to return to politics in the 2027 elections. According to the publication, he was evicted from his home over rent arrears.
The politician allegedly initially intended to buy the property and paid a substantial deposit. He later abandoned the purchase and agreed to use the money paid to cover rent. After that amount was exhausted, arrears accumulated, and the property owner allegedly evicted the tenant. The former MP is now looking for other housing, according to the newspaper.
