via Tuko3 min read
Nairobi's customer service chief officer, Geoffrey Mosiria, has been lauded by Kenyans for his compassionate actions in transforming the life of Martha Njoki. Mosiria rescued Njoki from the streets several months ago, where she was battling depression and substance abuse. He recently shared photos of her remarkable transformation, noting that some initially viewed his efforts as a public relations stunt. Mosiria emphasized that he saw a human being in need of a second chance, despite others perceiving her as dirty and unwell. He expressed delight that Njoki has reformed and has been reunited with her children, whom she had not seen for seven years and who believed she had died. Mosiria thanked the Rapid Rehabilitation Centre for Addiction for their role in Njoki's recovery and urged Kenyans to show compassion to those in need, stating that choosing compassion over judgment can change lives.

Must ReadThe Independent Policing Oversight Authority IPOA has retrieved deleted CCTV footage from Central Police Station, dated June 7, 2025, related to the death of Albert Ojwang. The footage, presented before the Kibra High Court on Monday, July 21, shows a police officer, PC Kimani, interacting with two unidentified men in caps at the station before they proceeded to the holding cell. Later, the two unidentified individuals returned, their heads lowered and faces shielded, and were seen engaging PC Kimani again. In a separate sequence, a group of five people was captured running rapidly to the last cell, carrying an unidentified object. This footage emerged after a digital forensics expert testified that the station's CCTV recording system had been interfered with, and internal components were found removed from the DVR before IPOA documented the device. Authorities are now working to identify the two men seen with the officer.

President William Ruto hosted farewell ceremonies at State House Nairobi for outgoing European Union Ambassador Henriette Geiger and Belgian Ambassador Peter Maddens. President Ruto noted that Kenya's trade with the European Union has grown by 20% since the Economic Partnership Agreement was signed in July 2024, reaching an annual trade volume of KSh 494 billion. Under this agreement, Kenyan exports like cut flowers, tea, coffee, and horticultural products enter EU markets duty-free and quota-free. The EU is described as Kenya's largest single export destination and a strategic partner, with their relationship extending to digital innovation, climate resilience, and regional security. Belgium is highlighted as the leading destination for Kenyan coffee exports, and Belgian businesses have shown interest in agri-business investment opportunities in Kenya. President Ruto also referenced his business roundtable visit to Brussels in June 2026, which reinforced bilateral ties between Kenya and Belgium on trade, renewable energy, and climate action.
