Kenya’s national futsal team returns to action this afternoon as they host Namibia in a high-stakes CAF Futsal AFCON 2026 qualifying clash at the Kasarani Indoor Arena.

Kickoff is set for 4:00 PM. Fans are granted free entry as the hosts look to turn home support into a decisive advantage in the second leg of the qualifier.

Futsal is a game of speed, tight spaces, and sharp decision-making. Today’s fixture could be defined by which side controls transitions and keeps defensive discipline under pressure. The margins indoors are thinner, the mistakes louder.

This is more than tactics. It’s a chance to see Kenya push for continental relevance in a fast-growing version of the game that demands flair, fitness, and fearlessness.

Namibia arrive with their own ambitions, knowing that an away performance here could tilt the tie in their favor. But inside Kasarani, the script is simple: Kenya must be bold, composed, and clinical.

This afternoon, the spotlight isn’t on the grass.
It’s on the hardwood….. and qualification dreams are on the line.

Real Madrid’s future and its past met at the same table as Enzo Marcelo, son of club icon Marcelo Vieira, signed his first professional contract with the Spanish giants today.

The agreement, finalized at the club’s training complex, marks a powerful new chapter in a story Madridistas know well. This time, however, the name on the contract belongs to the next generation.

Enzo has grown through Real Madrid’s youth ranks, developing quietly while carrying one of the heaviest surnames in football. His father, Marcelo, was more than just a defender at the Bernabéu; he was a symbol of joy, flair, and relentless success during one of the most dominant eras in the club’s history.

Now, the badge that once sat on his father’s chest will sit on his own; not as inheritance, but as opportunity earned.

From a sharp analyst’s lens, this move shows Madrid’s continued trust in its academy structure, even as the club competes for global superstars. From a fan’s heart, though, this is something deeper; a full-circle moment. A reminder that football is not just about trophies and transfers, but about stories that stretch across generations.

Enzo’s journey is only beginning. The expectations will be loud. The comparisons will be constant.

Many Kenyans still rely on manual processes to manage recurring payments like SACCO contributions, rent, school fees, water and loan repayments. While this approach may have worked in the past, it often leads to missed deadlines, unnecessary stress, and wasted time.

Imagine: It is the start of the month, and Mary, a SACCO member, is in a familiar bind. She is rushing to the bank to deposit her monthly savings, only to realize she is late and may face penalties which could strain her budget due to extra charges.

Across town, John, a tenant, is scrambling to transfer his rent before his landlord starts calling. Meanwhile, Susan, a parent, is juggling school fees payments in instalments, unsure if she can keep up.

These stories reflect the struggles of many Kenyans. But what if there was a way to take the hassle out of these financial obligations?

What if you could avoid the stress of remembering payment deadlines, late payments, and the inconvenience of endless queues? That is where a standing order comes in, a simple yet powerful tool that is transforming how we manage our money.

What is a Standing Order?

Think of a standing order as your personal financial assistant, it is there to make your life easier. It is an instruction you give to your bank, for instance Equity Bank, to automatically transfer a set amount of money from your account to another account at regular intervals, be it weekly, monthly, or quarterly.

It is the ultimate “set it and forget it” solution for managing your financial commitments.

Why Standing Order Matter

Whether you are an individual with a single or joint account, a SACCO member, or a small business owner managing recurring expenses, standing order offers a convenient way to ensure your payments are always on time.

Unlike manual processes, which are not only inconvenient but also costly, standing orders save time, reduce stress, and eliminate the risk of penalties for missed payments. For SACCOs and banks, automating transactions reduces operational strain, shortens queues, and cuts down on paperwork.

For instance, Mary can automate her SACCO contributions, ensuring she stays on track with her savings goals John can avoid the embarrassment of late rent payments, and Susan can rest easy knowing her children’s school fees are taken care of. As a borrower, you can also maintain a good credit record by automating your loan repayment, ensuring no delays harm your credit score.

How to Set Up a Standing Order

Setting up a standing order at Equity Bank is simple and convenient. Use Equity Mobile App or Equity for Individuals, click transact and select Schedule payment.

Here is what you will need: Payment details: Your account number and the beneficiary’s bank and account details.

Frequency: Decide how often payments should be made, weekly, monthly, or quarterly.

Start date: Choose when the automatic deductions should begin.

Amount: Specify the amount to be deducted each time.

Beneficiary account: Provide the account where the money will be disbursed. Once you have entered these details, you are good to go.

The Bigger Picture: Financial Discipline Made Easy
A standing order is more than just a feature; it is a financial habit enabler.

It instils discipline by ensuring your savings and payments are consistent. It provides peace of mind by taking the stress out of managing recurring obligations. And it offers convenience by reducing the need for branch visits and paperwork.

Imagine a life where your SACCO contributions, rent, school fees, and loan repayments are all handled automatically, no more stress, no more missed deadlines. Just financial freedom and control.

With Equity, you can automate your payments at the click of a button and focus on what truly matters. Take control of your finances today and enjoy the freedom and peace of mind that comes with automated payments.

As more people rely on laptops and smartphones for work, school, and entertainment, experts are highlighting an important but often misunderstood difference between how these devices handle power and battery health.

Many users assume that using any device while charging damages the battery. However, modern laptops and smartphones behave very differently when connected to a power source.

Better Habits Mean Longer Device Life

Tech professionals stress that device longevity often depends more on user habits than brand or price.

To keep devices running smoothly for years:

✔ Avoid extreme heat
✔ Use original or high-quality chargers
✔ Don’t constantly drain batteries to 0%
✔ Match your device use to its design

Understanding how laptops and smartphones handle power differently can help users protect battery health, maintain performance, and save money in the long run.

Laptops Are Designed to Perform Best on Direct Power

Most modern laptops are built to deliver full performance when plugged in. When connected to a charger:

  • The laptop draws power directly from the adapter
  • The battery is either bypassed or charged slowly and safely
  • The processor and graphics chip are allowed to run at higher performance levels

This is why laptops often feel faster, smoother, and more stable during demanding tasks like gaming, video editing, programming, or multitasking when plugged in.

Running a laptop on battery alone forces the system to enter power-saving modes, which reduce processor speed and graphics performance to extend battery life. Over time, frequently draining a laptop battery from high to very low levels can also accelerate battery wear.

Experts recommend that users who work at desks for long hours can safely keep their laptops plugged in, as modern battery management systems are designed to prevent overcharging.


Smartphones React Differently Under Load

Smartphones, on the other hand, pack powerful processors into much smaller bodies with limited cooling. When a phone is used for heavy tasks — such as gaming or video recording — while charging:

  • Heat builds up more quickly
  • The battery is stressed by both charging and high power use
  • Long-term battery health can decline faster

Unlike laptops, phones do not have large cooling systems or advanced power bypass mechanisms. This makes heat the biggest enemy of smartphone batteries.

Using a phone heavily while plugged in can lead to:

  • Faster battery degradation
  • Reduced long-term battery capacity
  • Performance throttling due to heat

Battery Health Comes Down to Heat and Usage Habits

In both devices, heat is the main factor affecting battery lifespan. The difference lies in how each device handles power and cooling.

DeviceBest Practice
LaptopSafe to use plugged in for heavy tasks; avoids deep battery cycles
SmartphoneAvoid heavy use while charging to reduce heat stress

With flashy adverts, influencer reviews and peer pressure driving smartphone purchases, many buyers are ending up with devices that look powerful on paper but struggle in real-life use. Tech experts are now urging consumers to understand three key specifications before buying any phone: RAM, storage (ROM), and most importantly, the processor.

Avoid Buying Based on Hype

Experts warn that many buyers regret purchases made because of trends, branding, or peer influence rather than actual performance needs. Understanding the processor, RAM, and storage helps set realistic expectations and prevents disappointment.

A well-informed buyer doesn’t just get a new phone — they get a device that actually fits their lifestyle.

Why this matters now

Smartphones are no longer just for calls and texts. Many users today rely on their devices for gaming, video editing, content creation, multitasking, and high-resolution video recording. However, not every phone marketed as “fast” or “gaming-ready” can truly handle these demands.

The Brain of the Phone: Processor Comes First

The processor (chipset) determines how well a phone handles speed, gaming, heat, and multitasking. A strong processor ensures smoother performance, better graphics handling, and more stable operation under heavy use.

Devices powered by entry-level chipsets may perform well for light tasks but often struggle when pushed. Users frequently report:

  • Heavy lag during gaming
  • Frame drops even on low graphics settings
  • Overheating followed by slowdowns
  • Apps closing in the background

For users who plan to game, edit videos, or run many apps at once, mid-range to high-end processors — such as newer MediaTek Dimensity series chips or Qualcomm Snapdragon midrange and flagship processors — are generally more reliable choices.

Match the Phone to Your Needs

Before buying, users should ask themselves:

What will I mainly use this phone for?

Usage TypeWhat You Need
Calls, texts, photos, social mediaEntry to lower-mid processors, 4–6GB RAM
Multitasking, light gamingMidrange processor, 6–8GB RAM
Heavy gaming, video editing, content creationStrong midrange or flagship processor, 8GB+ RAM

Not Every Phone Is Built for Gaming

Some smartphones are marketed as gaming devices despite using processors designed mainly for everyday tasks. While they may run games, performance often drops during long sessions, with overheating leading to lag or forced app closures.

Heat itself is normal in smartphones. What separates good devices from struggling ones is how efficiently they manage heat. Phones with stronger processors and better cooling systems maintain performance longer, while weaker devices tend to throttle speed or freeze under pressure.

Bottom Line: Buy for Your Needs, Not the Hype

Performance matters more than brand hype or flashy marketing.

A phone that matches your usage will feel fast for years. One that doesn’t will start frustrating you within months.

Manchester United’s victory over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium removed the Gunners from the list of unbeaten home teams.

Sunderland now stand as the only side in the league yet to lose a home match so far this season.

The development comes following United’s away win in North London, a result that reshaped the league’s home-form landscape and left Sunderland’s Stadium of Light as the last remaining fortress in the division.

While Arsenal had relied on home consistency to anchor their campaign, their defeat at the Emirates highlighted a wider trend this season, traditional strongholds are no longer guarantees, making Sunderland’s home resilience all the more significant as the season progresses.

Across Kenya’s evolving social scene, a quiet shift is taking place. More consumers are becoming intentional about how they drink, choosing balance, pacing, and mindfulness over excess. This growing moderation mindset is not about stepping away from alcohol altogether, but about redefining enjoyment on one’s own terms.

From wellness-led communities and daytime social plans to longer, more layered occasions that stretch from afternoon into evening, consumers are seeking options that allow them to stay present without overindulging. As a result, the alcohol category is beginning to reflect a broader spectrum of needs; creating room for lighter, more session-able choices that complement modern lifestyles.

Brands are increasingly recognizing that moderation is no longer a niche behaviour, but a mainstream consideration. It sits alongside conversations around mental clarity, productivity, fitness, and social connection, especially among urban consumers who want flexibility without feeling excluded from shared experiences.

Within this context, White Cap Crisp has found relevance by offering an option that fits naturally into moderation-led moments. Rather than positioning itself as a replacement or alternative to traditional beer experiences, the brand supports consumers who want to pace themselves while still participating fully in social occasions.

Commenting on this shift, Faith Musyoka, White Cap Crisp Brand Manager, said:
“We are seeing more consumers who want to be intentional about their drinking without disconnecting from the moments that matter. Moderation today is about choice and flexibility, and our role is to ensure there are options that allow people to enjoy responsibly while still feeling part of the occasion.”

This approach reflects a broader recalibration within the industry; one that acknowledges that enjoyment does not have to be tied to intensity. For many consumers, the value lies in refreshment, rhythm, and the ability to engage longer with friends, activities, and conversations.

As moderation continues to shape social behaviour, brands that understand this nuance, meeting consumers where they are rather than telling them how to drink will remain relevant. The future of social enjoyment, it seems, is less about extremes and more about balance.

For many Kenyan households, financial planning often starts with saving, budgeting, or investing. Yet financial experts opine that the most important step comes earlier: securing life assurance.

It is the safety net that protects everything else; your income, your dependants, and the goals you have set as a family.

Without life assurance, a single emergency can undo years of progress. An unexpected illness, the loss of a breadwinner, or a sudden disruption in income can drain savings, force the sale of assets, or plunge families into debt.

With community contributions, medical fundraisers and burial costs becoming a routine in societies, the emotional and financial toll is evidently devastating to many people.

Life assurance provides a cushion. It ensures dependants remain financially stable even when income is interrupted. It covers immediate needs, preserves dignity, and protects long-term plans such as education or home ownership.

Life Assurance protects education by guaranteeing that school fees continue to be paid even if the parent or breadwinner passes away, ensuring children’s learning is never interrupted.

It also safeguards home ownership by covering outstanding mortgages or home loans, thus preventing families from losing their homes during sudden financial disruptions.

Unlike traditional savings, which can be depleted quickly, life assurance provides a structured payout when it matters most.

Many families also rely on life assurance as a disciplined way to build long-term savings. Certain policies combine protection with a savings element, allowing households to plan milestone events, children’s education, emergencies, or retirement, while enjoying the security of insurance cover.

Equity Insurance has focused on offering life solutions that are simple to understand, accessible to everyday families, and aligned to real financial needs.
What Equity Insurance offers in Life Assurance
Equity has positioned itself around four key life assurance pillars that reflect what Kenyan families ask for.

Family Protection Covers

These ensure that dependants are financially secure in the event of death or permanent disability of the breadwinner. Benefits typically cover living expenses, education needs, and other critical family obligations.

Education policies

These allow parents and guardians to save consistently for a child’s future while remaining protected. Should anything happen to the parent, the insurer continues paying premiums, ensuring the child’s education plan is uninterrupted.

Credit life cover

This protects borrowers by ensuring that loans are automatically settled if the insured person passes away or becomes permanently disabled. It prevents families from inheriting debt.

Investment-linked life policies

These combine insurance protection with a savings or investment component, helping customers grow wealth over time while staying protected against risks.
Across these options, Equity also offers flexible premium payment plans.

Instead of paying a full year upfront, customers can spread payments over manageable instalments, a major advantage for salaried workers and small business owners juggling multiple financial commitments.

Dedicated bancassurance officers in Equity branches further assist customers in choosing the right type of cover, explaining benefits, clearing misconceptions, and ensuring that policies match each customer’s income level and goals.

As the cost of living rises and financial uncertainties increase, say life assurance is no longer optional. It is the foundation of responsible financial planning. It safeguards progress, preserves dignity, and ensures that one emergency doesn’t erase years of effort.
Life assurance is not for later; it is for now.

With accessible products and flexible payment structures, you can take the first step towards securing financial future today and protect the plans you are working so hard to build.

By Rebecca Miano, Cabinet Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife

Kenya has set an ambitious but achievable target: attracting at least five million international tourists annually by 2028. This goal is not merely about increasing visitor numbers; it is about growing tourism revenue, expanding employment opportunities, and positioning tourism as a central pillar of inclusive economic growth. Achieving this target, however, will require a united national effort—one in which county governments play a leading role.

Tourism is a devolved opportunity. While the national government provides policy direction, international marketing, and strategic coordination, the tourism products that visitors experience are located within counties. Wildlife, landscapes, cultural heritage, adventure experiences, festivals, and community-based tourism initiatives are all managed at the county level. For Kenya to reach five million visitors by 2028, counties must actively come on board as partners in tourism development, promotion, and investment.

For too long, Kenya’s tourism performance has relied on a narrow product base, primarily wildlife safaris and coastal tourism. These products remain vital, but they alone cannot deliver the scale of growth required to meet our national targets. Many countries possess unique and compelling attractions that remain underdeveloped, under-promoted, or disconnected from national marketing efforts. Unlocking these assets through deliberate county action is essential to expanding Kenya’s tourism offering and competitiveness.

County governments must therefore prioritize tourism within their development agendas. This means integrating tourism diversification into County Integrated Development Plans, allocating adequate resources to product development, and creating enabling policy environments that attract private sector investment. Counties should focus on developing all-season tourism products that reduce seasonality, lengthen visitor stays, and spread tourism benefits more equitably across regions.

Data-driven planning will be central to this effort. The ongoing national tourism product mapping exercise is designed to provide counties with reliable data on tourism assets, gaps, and opportunities. Counties are encouraged to fully participate in this exercise and use the findings to guide infrastructure development, product management, and targeted marketing. Effective policy decisions must be grounded in evidence, not assumptions.

Equally important is destination branding. Counties must clearly define and promote their unique tourism identities while aligning with the national Magical Kenya brand. Strong county brands enhance the national brand by presenting Kenya as a diverse, multi-experience, year-round destination. Coordinated branding and marketing between national and county governments will be critical to attracting new markets and increasing repeat visitation.

Tourism growth is also a jobs agenda. As we work toward five million tourists by 2028, the sector has the potential to significantly expand employment, particularly for young people. Counties can support this by promoting youth entrepreneurship, digital tourism innovation, skills development, and community-based tourism enterprises.

Ultimately, reaching five million tourists by 2028 is a shared responsibility. National government cannot achieve this goal alone. I therefore call upon county governments to come on board fully—through policy alignment, investment, innovation, and collaboration. Together, we can unlock Kenya’s full tourism potential, grow arrivals and revenue, and ensure tourism delivers lasting benefits for our people and our economy.

Mathare United are not standing still , and this latest move confirms intent rather than survival.

The Slum Boys have confirmed the signing of midfielder Bilal Atano from Bandari FC, making him their sixth addition of the mid-season transfer window as they continue to reshape the squad for the business end of the campaign.

Atano arrives as a functional signing, not flashy, but purposeful. In a league where momentum can swing in weeks, Mathare’s recruitment tells a deeper story: this is about control, not panic. Six signings in January is not coincidence; it’s planning.

This move signals belief inside the camp. Mathare United are reinforcing key areas early, backing the technical bench, and refusing to leave their fate to chance.

Whether Atano becomes a starter or a squad stabiliser, the message is already clear: Mathare United are strengthening to compete, not merely to cope.

The window isn’t just open! Mathare United are using it!

Coco Gauff is still standing , and still learning how to win when it isn’t pretty.

The American star booked her place in the Australian Open quarter-finals after battling past compatriot Hailey Baptiste in a gripping three-set contest, winning 3–6, 6–0, 6–3.

Gauff started slow, conceding the first set as Baptiste played fearless tennis and took her chances. But what followed was the difference between promise and pedigree. Gauff erased the deficit with a ruthless 6–0 second set, tightening her returns, raising the tempo, and dragging her opponent into longer, more demanding rallies.

The third set was less about flair and more about control. Gauff absorbed pressure, waited for openings, and closed the match with the composure of a player who knows exactly what this stage demands.

This win matters. Not because it was dominant, but because it tested her. Grand Slams are rarely linear journeys, and Gauff just showed she can problem-solve in real time.

The draw only gets tougher from here. But Coco Gauff marches on, not flawless, but battle-ready.

Melbourne remains her stage.

Trinity Rodman has just reset the economy of women’s football.

The Washington Spirit forward has signed a record-breaking contract that makes her the highest-paid women’s soccer player in the world, a landmark deal that goes far beyond numbers on a paycheck.

This deal is not charity. It’s not symbolism. It’s valuation.

Rodman isn’t being paid for potential anymore, she’s being paid for impact. On the pitch, she’s relentless, explosive, and fearless. Off it, she carries influence that stretches far beyond the league. Washington Spirit didn’t just secure a player; they secured a franchise pillar.

Read between the lines and the message is clear: women’s football has stopped asking for permission. The market is maturing, ownership is investing, and stars like Rodman are no longer waiting for the world to catch up.

This contract will be referenced for years, by agents, clubs, federations, and players who now have proof that the ceiling can be shattered, not nudged.

Trinity Rodman didn’t just sign a deal.
She changed the conversation.

Wambugu Muchiri & Company Advocates is under criminal investigation for attempted insurance fraud, after allegedly filing claims for fake accident victims.

The matter relates to a minor road accident that occured on 28th July 2025 along Limuru Road involving a Toyota Matatu, registration KBV 043P, in which three passengers sustained minor injuries, according to official police reports.

Despite this, the law firm reportedly filed claims asserting that 10 passengers had suffered varying degrees of injuries, listing the following as alleged victims:

Dick Davis Akello, Rose Kadogo Makhana, Margret Wanjiku Kahoro, Mary Nyambura Irungu, Scholastica Dibango, Eshibachi Michael Obuchere, Silas Nalanya, John Limuli, Jane Rose Mutegi, and Antony Gachoka Kuria.

Investigations by AMACO Insurance Company ltd revealed that the claims were allegedly supported by fake P3 forms and police abstracts. AMACO subsequently wrote to the Base Commander of Gigiri Police Station on 6th January 2026 seeking verification of the documents.

In a response dated 7th January 2026, the Base Commander stated: “Following our review and verification, we hereby formally inform you that the police abstract and P3 form brought to our office by your representative are forged documents and did not originate from Gigiri Traffic Base. We have confirmed that the said documents are not genuine and are not traceable to our records. Kindly note that we disassociate ourselves entirely from the said documents and any claims arising from them.”

After the Base Commander disowned the documents, AMACO reported the matter to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). The lawyer involved was arrested but later released under circumstances that remain unclear.

Further fraudulent matters are being sorted across various files for follow-up and further action.
The case has raised serious concerns about insurance fraud, document forgery, and accountability within the legal profession, and investigations are ongoing.

Senegal have officially added a second star to their national team jersey. A quiet but powerful symbol marking their second Africa Cup of Nations triumph and cementing their place among the continent’s modern heavyweights.

This second star tells a deeper story. Senegal are no longer chasing legitimacy; they are setting standards. The Lions of Teranga have transformed into serial contenders who arrive at tournaments expecting to win, not hoping to compete.

The stitching of that star is symbolic. It represents years of heartbreak, a golden generation that refused to waste its peak, and a football culture that learned how to close games, manage pressure, and dominate moments.

In African football, stars speak louder than words.
And Senegal’s jersey now speaks fluently.

This isn’t the end of the story — it’s proof that a dynasty is being written, one star at a time.

Cristiano Ronaldo is edging ever closer to a landmark that once felt untouchable. With 960 career goals already to his name, the Portuguese icon now stands just 40 goals away from reaching 1,000, a number that would place him in a realm football has never truly known.

This isn’t just about numbers. It’s about longevity, defiance, and relevance. While others faded quietly, Ronaldo refused to go gently. He adapted his game, conserved his movement, sharpened his instincts — becoming less about flair and more about inevitability.

Forty goals may sound like a lot. But for a man who has scored over 50 goals in a calendar year multiple times, it feels dangerously achievable. Every penalty, every half-chance, every late run into the box now carries historical weight.

Critics may argue about leagues, contexts, and eras. But history won’t. History will simply read the number — and bow.

Cristiano Ronaldo is not chasing goals anymore.
He’s chasing eternity.

And with 40 left to go, football is watching.
