The Public Service Commission (PSC) of Kenya has officially opened applications for the eighth cohort of its Public Service Internship Programme (PSIP).
The year-long paid internship, targeting graduates from 2018 and earlier, aims to provide hands-on experience across government ministries, departments, state agencies, and public universities.
With a deadline set for August 18, 2025, the initiative has sparked both hope and skepticism among Kenyan youth grappling with high unemployment rates.
The PSIP, launched in 2016, seeks to bridge the skills gap for young graduates while offering a stipend and a certificate upon completion.
Since its inception, the program has placed over 20,000 interns in public service roles.
However, a 2022 study by the Institute of Economic Affairs revealed that only 15% of participants transitioned to permanent employment, raising questions about its long-term impact.
With youth unemployment at 39.1% for ages 15-34 according to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (2023), the program is seen by some as a critical lifeline, while others label it a “formality” with little promise of stable jobs.PSC’s announcement highlights eligibility criteria, including a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent from a recognized university, proficiency in computer applications, and no prior public service internship experience.
Interested candidates via been urged to submit their applications thought the PSC portal.
The application process, accessible via the PSC portal, has already faced technical challenges, with users reporting errors and urging updates to the system.
As applications roll in, the PSC faces pressure to address technical glitches, clarify selection processes, and respond to allegations of bias.
Whether PSIP Cohort VIII will mark a turning point in youth employment or reinforce existing frustrations remains to be seen.
For now, Kenya’s young graduates watch closely, balancing hope with cautious skepticism.
Detectives from the Operation Support Unit (OSU) of the DCI have arrested four individuals accused of perpetrating elaborate gold scams that have robbed unsuspecting victims of their hard-earned money.
The suspects: Patroba Odhiambo Tobias, Isaac Forkay Sleyon, Omong Ekoume Louis and Wadja Bangsi Tang, were taken into custody during a meticulously planned raid at a residence in Gigiri, situated along Whispers Avenue.
A thorough search of the premises uncovered a trove of incriminating evidence, including a gold smelting machine, an array of rubber stamps bearing the names of companies such as Alaska Express Freight Group Ltd, Longcrane Logistics Limited, and Kakan Traders and Company, numerous plastic seals, a weighing machine, and a cache of documents bearing stamp impressions from the East African Community, among other items.
Preliminary investigations have revealed that Alaska Express Freight Group Ltd has also been linked to a recent complaint involving two Canadian nationals who were defrauded of USD 37,500 last week.
The suspects are currently in custody and are undergoing processing in preparation for their arraignment.
The Public Service Commission (PSC) is on the spot following revelations that it sat on an appointment letter meant for John Burugu, the successful candidate for Secretary, Refugee Affairs — only to later turn around and cast aspersions on his conduct.
For over a year, PSC knowingly allowed the Principal Secretary for Immigration and Citizen Services, Prof. Julius Bitok, to block the forwarding of the appointment letter to Mr. Burugu. Prof. Bitok, the authorized officer, blatantly refused to act on the commission’s decision, denying Burugu the opportunity to formally assume office.
Rather than take decisive corrective steps, PSC chose inaction — effectively enabling an abuse of office and miscarrying justice, fairness, and equity in public employment.
Now, in a startling twist, PSC appears to be shifting blame onto Mr. Burugu, creating a misleading narrative that he held two government positions simultaneously — a claim not only dishonest but deeply damaging to his professional credibility and reputation.
Observers say PSC had the legal and procedural latitude to directly transmit the appointment letter to Burugu, which would have allowed him to resign formally from the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee (IGRTC) and assume his new role substantively.
Their failure to do so signals a serious dereliction of duty and suggests calculated efforts to derail the recruitment outcome in favor of another candidate.The latest directive by the current PS, Dr. Belio Kipsang, ordering a rushed handover from Burugu, is being viewed as a cover-up for the failings of his predecessor, Prof. Bitok.
It attempts to erase the record of Burugu’s valid appointment and mask the PSC’s failure to execute a lawful recruitment process.
Worse still, this case underscores systemic favoritism and political interference in civil service appointments — a violation of the constitutional principles under Article
Kenya Cane officially unveiled its newest variant, Kenya Cane Lemon & Ginger, at a vibrant, high-energy launch event held last Saturday, 26th July 2025 at MKU Pavilion Grounds, Thika. The flavourful celebration attracted hundreds of fans of the iconic spirit and marked yet another bold step in the brand’s journey of innovation and cultural relevance.
The event headlined by Arbantone’s latest sensation, Toxic Lyrikali and award-winning MC Azeezah brought together music lovers, loyal Kenya Cane consumers, and culture shapers for an unforgettable day of flavour discovery, great music, and authentic Kenyan vibes all in honour of the latest addition to the Kenya Cane family, Kenya Cane Lemon & Ginger!
“The turnout, the energy, and the love for the new Lemon & Ginger variant were phenomenal,” said Victor Adada, Brand Manager, Kenya Cane. “We launched this product to celebrate our consumers’ evolving taste and to bring a fresh, local twist to the table and we’re proud of how strongly the market is embracing it.”
DJ sets by DJ Gibbz Tha Daq Child, kept the energy high between performances, while Toxic Lyrikali, Tipsy Gee, Ayrosh, and Stage Revolution Band, delivered show stopping live sets that celebrated Kenyan sound and lyrical artistry.
Beyond the performances, attendees had the opportunity to taste the new Kenya Cane Lemon & Ginger, that blended the tanginess of lemon with the warm, spicy undertones of ginger creating a smooth modern twist. The event provided an opportunity for fans of the True Kenyan Spirit to interact with bold brand installations and connect with each other.
A top government official, John Burugu, has come out strongly to refute claims that he is holding two public service positions simultaneously.
Burugu, who has been serving as the acting Commissioner for Refugee Affairs, is now pointing fingers at Education Principal Secretary Prof. Julius Bitok who previously served in the immigration docket.
He accuses the PS of deliberately withholding his official appointment letter—despite having been appointed by the Public Service Commission after competitive interview in July 2024. This was to regularize the acting appointment earlier made by the then Interior Cabinet Secretary and current Deputy President, H.E Prof. Kithure Kindiki.
According to Burugu, the refusal to issue his appointment letter was not in good faith. He claims that after a competitive recruitment process, he emerged as the top candidate for the Commissioner of Refugees Affairs position.
“I attended the interview, performed best, and was declared the successful candidate. However, to date, I have never received my appointment letter,” said Burugu.
He clarified that during his tenure as acting Commissioner of Refugees, he never received a salary from that office. Instead, he continued drawing his salary from the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee (IGRTC), where he was initially appointed.
“I am ready to be surcharged if need be. But the truth is, I have not received a single coin from the Refugees office. I have only been in one Government payroll. My salary has consistently come from IGRTC,” he emphasized.
Burugu further explained the over one year delay by the Public Service Commission (PSC) to give concurrence for Cabinet Secretary acting appointment, contributed to the current confusion. According to him, PSC advertised the Refugee Affairs post in January 2024, with applications closing on February 13, 2024. He was later invited for an interview scheduled for June 25, 2024—but it was postponed due to the Gen Z protests and eventually held on July 2, 2024.
“Following that interview, I was officially appointed. A letter was dispatched to the PS for State Department for Immigration and Citizen Services for onward delivery to me—but I never received it,” Burugu revealed.
Despite his successful appointment, Burugu says PSC, through its CEO, later announced through an advertisement on March 15, 2025, that the position of Secretary for Refugee Affairs (Job No. 3/2024 – CSG 4) had been cancelled. This move has sparked a legal battle.
“A human rights organization has already filed a case in court, protesting the cancellation. They are seeking an injunction to prevent any attempts to re-advertise or fill the position in any manner, including on an acting basis, until the matter is resolved in court,” I am instructed by the PS for Immigration Dr. Kipsang Belio through a letter to handover to an officer from Interior Ministry who is taking over in an acting capacity still. Though I am not the one who is in Court, the ignorance and refusal to respect Court Order issued on the position I have been holding tells you the story of forces now peddling falsehoods to taint my integrity in public service. Burugu observed.
This unfolding drama comes even as Burugu has been directed to vacate the Refugees office and resume his duties at IGRTC.

Phygital International, promoter and rights holder of the Games of the Future (GOTF), has officially confirmed Astana as the host city for the 2026 edition, taking place from 18 July to 1 August 2026.
The announcement was made during an official meeting with Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov of the Republic of Kazakhstan, followed by a press conference led by the event’s key representatives including Serik Zharasbayev, Vice Minister of Tourism and Sports of the Republic of Kazakhstan; Nis Hatt, CEO of Phygital International; and Alibek Khassenov, President of Kazsportinvest JSC.
Renowned as the ultimate fusion of physical athleticism and digital gaming, the Games of the Future 2026 will transform Astana into a hub of elite competition and cutting-edge innovation. The 2026 edition will feature 13 disciplines, including fan-favorites like Phygital Football, Phygital Basketball, Phygital Dancing, and Phygital Shooter, while also showcasing the phygital versions for Hockey, Fighting (MMA and Boxing) and more. In each discipline, athletes first compete in a digital version of the sport to later switch to its physical counterpart; final results are determined by the combined performance across both stages.
A $10 million prize fund is set to raise the stakes at GOTF 2026, drawing global attention and attracting top-tier talent. With around 1,500 participants expected to compete across multiple venues in Astana, the tournament marks a major milestone for the growing phygital movement.
To further amplify its impact and highlight Kazakhstan’s leadership in sport-tech and digital innovation, the city will host the Games of the Future City, a celebration of innovation featuring fan zones, interactive exhibitions, and community-driven tech activations.
“The phygital format creates exciting new opportunities to engage talented youth in sports, aligning with the evolving expectations of the modern sports community. These innovative competition formats are shaping a dynamic and relevant agenda at the intersection of sports and technology” emphasized Serik Zharasbayev, Vice Minister of Tourism of Kazakhstan.
“Astana is a city that embodies the spirit of the future. With its world-class infrastructure, proven track record in hosting global events, and deep investment in youth and technology, Astana is the perfect stage to help shape the future of phygital sport on the global stage,” commented Nis Hatt, CEO of Phygital International.
Kazakhstan was selected as the host for 2026 by the Phygital International Expert Committee following a competitive international bidding process in late 2024. Kazsportinvest JSC – whose track record includes the Asian Winter Games 2011, 2017 Winter Universiade, and World Nomad Games. Astana 2024 – has been appointed to organize and deliver the event, bringing deep expertise in producing high-profile sporting competitions.
“This tournament has tremendous international potential and stands as a flagship event in the emerging world of phygital sports. Technology is rapidly reshaping the future of sport, and the Games of the Future represents a unique opportunity for us to contribute meaningfully to its evolution and help generate global excitement around this exciting new frontier of competition,” said Alibek Khassenov, President of Kazsportinvest JSC.
While the Games of the Future 2026 in Astana is still a year away, anticipation continues to build as Abu Dhabi prepares to host the 2025 edition from December 18 to 23. Following the successful debut of the tournament in 2024, Abu Dhabi is ready to deliver another unparalleled global showcase of phygital sports.
The event will blend the best of phygital sports and technological innovation, bringing together thousands of athletes and fans from the global phygital community, paving the way for Astana to carry the momentum forward in 2026.
Schools across the country bagged cash prizes of up to Ksh50,000 as the regional competitions of the Kenya Music Festival ended, with top honours awarded for creative performances that championed insurance adoption by rebranding it as a vital “vaccine” and a protective “ark” against life’s journey.
These messages align with this year’s KMF theme Enhancing the Creative Economy through Artistic Expression for Sustainable Development and reflect Equity Bank’s theme “Securing Lives Transformed and Wealth Created through Life, Health, and Wealth Insurance,” with the financial entity as the main sponsor of the festivals.
Educators at the festival championed the push for early financial literacy, arguing that these creative platforms are ideal for instilling crucial life skills. Abel Mariaka, a teacher and composer from CGHU Primary School, Starehe, stressed the necessity of starting early. “It’s important for them to save early because they need to prepare well for their future lives,” he said, adding that such planning is vital for covering future school fees amid inflation. As a composer, Mr. Mariaka also noted a significant shift in the festival’s creative themes, which now embrace topics like digital technology and finance. He sees this as a positive development, suggesting that even AI can be used as a tool to “encourage creativity and innovation among the students.”
John Njuguna, a trainer at Mirema School, echoed this sentiment, particularly on the subject of insurance. He stressed the practical importance of this education, arguing that it provides a foundation for future security. He noted that when today’s students face challenges like illness later in life, they can “rely on what you learned when you were young about the insurance.” Mr. Njuguna added that understanding that education has a cost and that insurance can help secure it is a vital lesson for learners.
Leading the charge at the regionals showcased across the country, Kyeni Girls High School, in a compelling narrative performed at the Chuka regionals, declared that “Insurance is your vaccine.” Their piece argued that just as a vaccine shield against illness, insurance provides a crucial defence against financial distress, covering everything from funeral expenses to ensuring “quality health without you.”
Echoing this sentiment of security, Mabe Twinkling Stars, a Primary School in Nairobi, showcased “The Ark” as their central metaphor for insurance. This ark, they explained, is a haven where individuals and their investments are protected from life’s storms. “Consider Insurance, for you never know when tragedy will attack,” they explained, highlighting the comprehensive nature of policies that cover everything from life and health to property and even work-related injuries. Their performance culminated in a powerful call to action: “Come on, come on. Let’s be assured we are insured.”
Meanwhile, Mtopanga Secondary from Mombasa championed insurance as a steadfast shield. Their recitations consistently reinforced the idea of protection and peace of mind. While preforming at Kenyatta High School Mwatate in Taita Taveta County, the high school students confidently declared, “We have removed worries. We are shielded with a shield.” This shield, they articulated, extends to various aspects of life, from ensuring financial stability in the face of illness – “It will treat cancer” – to covering funeral expenses and even providing for retirement and in times of crisis, will ensure families are not burdened.”
Mwenje Girls also detailed how insurance supports education, provides a comfortable retirement, ensures good health, and even offers support during times of disability.
With Ksh25 million sponsorship from Equity Group, the partnership has proven fruitful at the regional levels ending this July. The nationals, set to be held in Meru this August, will see top performers like Precious Blood Secondary School, Alliance Girls High School, Statehouse Girls, Meru School, St Martin Kaewa, compete for the final honors.

Award-winning real estate firm Wilstone Homes has launched a bold and transparent customer engagement campaign to update stakeholders on the progress of its flagship Manna Estate project in Kiambu County.
The initiative, spearheaded by Managing Director Ejidio Kinyanjui, aims to demystify the development process of the multi-billion shilling residential estate and reassure buyers of the project’s integrity, timeline, and long-term value.
“We are on a mission to cast out doubts and instill hope and confidence,” said Kinyanjui during a recent customer briefing. “This estate will be a game changer in the Kenyan real estate industry. We are answering all customer questions with clarity and honesty. No coin will be lost.”
The Manna Estate project has generated significant interest for its modern design, prime location, and promise of high-end yet affordable living. Amid growing scrutiny in the real estate sector regarding delays and transparency, Wilstone’s customer-focused approach sets a new benchmark for accountability and proactive communication.
Kinyanjui emphasized that the estate is progressing well, with key construction milestones already achieved. He reassured investors and prospective homeowners that the company will soon announce official handover dates.
“As we near completion, we want our customers to walk this journey with us. That means regular updates, site visits, and open forums where no question goes unanswered,” he added.
The educational campaign includes on-site tours, digital progress reports, Q&A sessions, and social media updates—all designed to ensure buyers are well-informed and confident about their investment.
This move comes at a time when Kenya’s real estate market continues to evolve, with discerning buyers demanding greater transparency, value, and trust from developers. Wilstone Homes’ initiative reflects a growing industry shift toward customer empowerment and project accountability.
With the Manna Estate poised to become a landmark development in Kiambu, Wilstone is determined to deliver not just quality homes, but also peace of mind.
“Trust is our foundation. We’re not just building houses—we’re building futures,” Kinyanjui concluded.
Tourism Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Miano has hailed President William Ruto as Kenya’s most influential and effective ambassador in promoting the country’s tourism industry, crediting his leadership with revitalizing a sector that plays a vital role in the nation’s economy.
Speaking during an interview with a local TV station, Miano said the President has been intentional in elevating Kenya’s tourism through strategic policies and high-level international engagement.
“President Ruto has become Kenya’s greatest tourism ambassador,” Miano declared. “His strategic leadership, international engagements, and unwavering support for local tourism development have placed Kenya firmly on the global tourism map.”
According to Miano, the President has utilized every international forum to market Kenya as a premier travel destination.
“He has powerfully positioned the Kenyan brand—highlighting our identity as the cradle of humankind, among other unique attributes. We have seen great support from the government under our able President,” she added.
Miano pointed out that numerous reforms have been achieved under President Ruto’s leadership through close inter-ministerial collaboration. She noted that the Ministry of Transport is working to upgrade airports to world-class standards, while the Ministry of Tourism continues to strengthen the sector through initiatives like the well-established Tourist Police Unit.
Miano also praised the President’s attention to county-level tourism, particularly in Nyandarua. Speaking at a county tourism forum earlier this year, she described the region—home to the Aberdare Ranges, scenic landscapes, and colonial heritage sites—as “Kenya’s California.”
“The President’s focus on uplifting regions like Nyandarua has elevated local tourism and created new economic opportunities for our communities,” she said. “None of this progress would be possible without his leadership.”
This regional push aligns with the Ministry’s broader strategy of community-based tourism, where local residents are empowered to manage and benefit from the tourism value chain.
Beyond symbolic appearances, Ruto’s administration has significantly increased budgetary allocations to tourism infrastructure, launched robust digital marketing campaigns targeting global audiences, and incentivized private sector investment in tourism.
Under his leadership, Kenya recorded a historic KSh 450 billion in tourism revenue in 2024, with an ambitious target of attracting 5 million international visitors by 2027. Miano attributes these milestones to the President’s “visible, vocal, and visionary” role in driving the sector’s growth.
“From championing Kenya’s presence at global tourism expos to personally welcoming visitors, President Ruto has set a new benchmark for leadership in tourism,” she noted.
As Kenya advances toward becoming a tourism powerhouse, Miano emphasized that a combination of strong political will and community-driven engagement will be key to growing the sector.
More than 1,000 runners laced up their shoes for the Run for Seniors charity race, a vibrant event organized by Mama Ibado Charity (MIC) to raise funds for elderly citizens in Isiolo and Kakamega Counties.
The race, which offered 5km, 10km, and 15km distances to cater to all fitness levels, aimed to support monthly food baskets and essential healthcare services for over 1,000 seniors, restoring dignity and care to Kenya’s elderly population.
The event, flagged off by Mama Ibado Charity Director, Justice Mohammed Ibrahim, drew a diverse crowd united by a shared commitment to championing the welfare of seniors. Speaking at the event, Justice Ibrahim emphasized the importance of valuing elders in society.
“At Mama Ibado Charity, we believe that ageing should come with comfort, not neglect, with community, not loneliness, and with dignity, not dependency,” he said.
“We’re not just running today; we’re raising awareness and resources for our seniors who have walked life’s marathon long before us.”
Injecting humor into the occasion, Justice Ibrahim quipped, “Whoever decided this was a fun run clearly didn’t check with my knees! But here I am, dressed in running shoes and optimism, ready to prove that even judges can break a sweat for a good cause.”
He added with a chuckle, “If you see me walking around the 5km mark, don’t judge me—I’m a senior judge, just pacing myself with dignity.”
MIC President, Mr. Ahmed Jibril, praised the overwhelming participation from runners, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters.
“Your presence here today is a powerful gesture of solidarity and empathy,” Jibril said.
“You are not just running; you are carrying forward Mama Ibado’s legacy with every stride.”
The event was a resounding success, raising Ksh. 11 million in cash and in-kind contributions, according to Mr. Moses Mwangi, Managing Director of 748 Air Services.
“We are very grateful for this inaugural event. We exceeded expectations,” Mwangi said.
He highlighted the race’s role in elevating awareness for senior citizens, a demographic he noted has often been overlooked.
“We cannot ignore our seniors. We have to walk with them, ensuring they live with dignity by providing basics like food, healthcare, and accommodation.”
Hass Petroleum Chairman, Abdinasir Ali Hassan, reaffirmed the company’s long-term partnership with Mama Ibado Charity, which has facilitated the enrollment of many elderly beneficiaries into the Social Health Insurance Fund.
This initiative ensures seniors access critical medical services at no cost. “This is not just access to healthcare—it’s access to peace of mind,” Hassan said.
“This kind of life-changing impact rooted in community is exactly what corporate responsibility should look like.”
The Run for Seniors charity race not only raised significant funds but also sent a powerful message about the importance of caring for Kenya’s elderly, inspiring hope and solidarity for a more inclusive future.
