 All right, welcome. Banke is still hanging out with us right here on Why in the Morning. The hashtag to plug in on is Why in the Morning Everywhere on all our social media platforms. And now is the time that we take a look at the newspapers or the dailies as we call it. And we're going to take a look at the people daily. And the splash or the news headline or the highlight is four CSS list risk rejection. And this is after the vetting of the 22 nominated CSS by President William Ruto came to a close last week on Saturday. And after the interview, it was literally an interview to actually vet and see their capacity in terms of human professionalism, integrity as well, and many other items that were considered to actually vet them to see if they hold water to actually dissolve the sports as CSS. And then the main highlights in this, in that possibly could maybe be met with rejection is Moses Curia, who they say his opponents have zeroed in on his past conduct saying he is not suitable for a cabinet role. And then we have Penaina Malonza. They say those who want her rejected her saying that she did not demonstrate understanding of what her dockets and tails. You can see right there you have it on top of your screen. All right there, they say Penaina Malonza. Those who wanted her rejected her saying that she did not demonstrate understanding of what her docket entails. And then we also had me, Thika Linturi, whose head shirt is like the top of that chain. They say his critics say he has too many court cases, 35 in all, and he should get them out of the way first. Of course he had graft allegations as well, sexual assault, misconduct allegedly. And then we also had Aisha Juma Ho's opposition legislator say that she has pained in criminal case and a protest DPP's attempt to drop it. Of course she has also been accused of graft allegations swindling up to around 20 million, is it 50 million, 19 million, 20 million county government funds allegedly. So that's another top highlight on the splash of the people daily. And then on top of that we have tough questions over the killing of Pakistan scribe. Just above the splash, tough questions over the killing of Pakistan scribe, the stories on page number six. Literally this is a journalist, a Pakistan journalist who was murdered on Magadirud last week, last weekend. And there's been a lot of speculations around it, whether it's the special service unit or it's the country, his country that murdered him. Of course he was an investigative journalist who was on his mission to uncover very sensitive details about his government as well. And initially he had received life threats and death threats from his government as well. So that's a story also that will be taken a look at on page number six. At the corner of that we have how families are coping with the rising cost of goods households, have cut back on spending, only buying essentials as they seek side jobs. There's another interesting story about the cost of living right now in the country. Prices of small items or as I say commodities are super high or otherwise they are high. And we are also still calling on the government. Even as the drought continues to advance, ravage different communities that have been painfully affected by the drought situation in the country. Still the cost of living is high, the economy is still hard-pinching. And we're still waiting to see if the current regime is going to make a shift to a different tangent as well. And then below that leader with Kenyan roots tax charge as British prime minister. This is Rish Sunak, whose father by the way is Kenyan and was born in Nakuru. And is now the first British Asian, first Hindu and wealthiest man to occupy the 10th Downing Street. That story is on page number three. I'm really excited to wait. Of course, there's a lot of conversations on that one as well on Twitter. If you are an ardent user of social media. And I think it's also still a national story that we'll be taking center stage for the better part of this week to see if he's exactly going to bug it. Or there'll be other developments as well if that's a story to go by. Now let's go to page number two. We shall go in that order. The people daily on page number two. That says China, hence our willingness to restructure Kenyan loans. And this is another again groundbreaking story about the debt that we owe to China. And if at all we will manage to have it paid or cleared on time. How many years should we give our current regime to ensure that they clear? And if at all if that's anything to go by, when will we clear it? And then the Chinese government has hinted at willingness to discuss a loan structure of program with Kenya, even as it affirmed the continued accordion working with the new administration for both countries. Chinese ambassador to Kenya, Zhu Pingyan yesterday said that they work within the times laid down considering that all the government has been doing is to honor requests from all partners that they work with. The ambassador also assured that his country is willing to listen, discuss and improve cooperation with Kenya as eco-partners and affirming that implementation depends on the specific programs but China has no reservations. And then just down below that they say that it's about traditional friendships with China of course with Kenya. Kenya and China enjoy profound traditional friendships and both countries are confident in the new leadership under Xi Jinping and William Ruto to boost partnerships. And as much as we have the debt we are still in partnership with Kenya. And then they've explained China is willing also to partner with to boost new industrialization processes and we encourage more and more Chinese companies and investors to expand their businesses in Kenya to create jobs to China and even Kenya as well. And then China does pursue a trade surplus with Kenya hence they need to encourage the Chinese company to import more from Kenya. And you definitely realize that you know there's a lot of projects that we have in our country that actually that are actually you know that have been spearheaded by China as well or China in partnership with Kenya. So we are still following up on that one as well to see if it's going to lead to a good end. Is it the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning for that debt? It's a question that we can continue to ask ourselves as we live in this country. Now another interesting story is on page number three. I don't know if we are, yes it will be coming shortly on top of your screen. Politician with Kenyan roots is named as British prime minister and that is Rishi Sunak who I just mentioned that you know he is Kenyan born and precisely in Nakuru. Rishi Sunak enjoys links with Kenya. Of course yesterday became prime minister after being chosen by the conservatives to govern the country. Sunak who is also of Indian descent replaces Lee Strauss who resigned last week. Lee Strauss resigned last week. Of course it was another national groundbreaking story and just after being in power for only 45 days. And his ascension to office was historic as he became the first prime minister of color to occupy the office and in his acceptance speech Sunak who is age 42 years old. He said he addressed the nation of the conservatives headquarters in London and thanked the ruling party for expressing confidence in his leadership and he said quote in quote I will serve you with integrity and humility. That's what he actually mentioned in part of his speech. He will become the prime minister on Monday after other candidates quit the rest to lead conservative party living him with the task of steering a deeply divided country through an economic downtown to set millions of people poorer. So Nak's rise to actually leadership is Britain faces serious economic challenges including needs for stability and unity and in his speech as well as I mentioned he said it's going to be his first items to actually have a revolution or have a change on. He's also former finance minister who has been left with the task of steering a deeply divided country through that economic downtown. It's not just even not only Kenya that is facing an economic nosedive or an economic downtown. So we also have other global countries as well that are going through that economic recession. And then so Nak's only challenger or challenger the person the contestant that he's facing is Penny Mordont who is the leader of the House of Commons and former defense minister was reportedly back was reported back by 30 members of parliament compared with nearly 150 supporters by Sonak. So he has like amassed himself quite a huge following and he has money to actually win the trust of the netizens right there. Definitely such an interesting story as well to be following up. So Nak has also a daunting task of stating British politics following the resignation of Lee Strauss and the area thereafter he wants he wanted to stand for that was yesterday where he earned his first MBA. The former finance chief led the conservative parties race to replace Lee Strauss as prime minister on Sunday as he garnered public support of over 100 Tory lawmakers. You know when it comes to even understanding the politics of the UK. I feel like it's one of the first world countries that we also depend on as well. And we have seen a lot of even our Nazis not just Nazis even teachers as well. And so many people have money to like you know go to the UK to act are living for themselves. It's one of the most you know first world countries that you know has a lot of Kenyans actually earning a living and walking that peacefully. So we hope even this relationship as Rishi Sunak is becoming prime minister. We're going to have very close tight tight economic relationships as well to ensure that you know even we boost our lifestyle right here in Kenya. Now just to sum it up they say a possible return to power for the 58 year old that is Boris Johnson who also resigned. And then the question is why do they keep on resigning. We had Boris Johnson who was the former prime minister resigned and then recently we had Lee Strauss who also resigned. What what could be the problems that are festering in the UK's leadership system. Is it because of maybe economic downtown or maybe lack of support or just some other factors that are not making the leadership system coherent. Is a question that we also we are seeking answers right here in Kenya as well. And he says he had deeply divided conservatives and brought up on predictability to the rest. Even Johnson supporters had said he is a vote winner and he had enough backing from another Johnson administration that would be disastrous for the party and the country. He also sparked anger in her party and weeks of financial time. So basically I think they're trying to highlight to us that you know there's a possibility of you know an economic and also political you know miss function where you know there's lack of coherence. They're not understanding each other. And then you know leading such a multi national country that you know is looked upon is like almost like a superpower is like the US now because when you actually get to have a position of leadership in such a country you are tasked. It's a daunting task. That is the word exactly. It's such a daunting task because you have a lot of responsibilities on your back and you must fulfill them up to task. Let's move to story number the next story that is on page four of the people daily. There's actually talking about why as a new team once the four CS nominees rejected that it's literally top the first highlight to the splash of the people daily right there. And it goes to say the appointment committees report will be tabled in the house this afternoon ahead of the debate that is tomorrow. And currently there's intense lobbying as those in the red list seek to ensure to win the support of majority leaders. And then the president has also reportedly made it clear that he is not going to defend anyone he has done his part and they should do the rest. You can see right there on top of your screen. And why as a meal team once the four CS nominees rejected and the fate of Mithika linturi. That is Moses courier. I should you map and I know my loans are in the balance as members of violence start debate on their past actions and suitability. That's it to happen tomorrow. So it's another interesting story as well that you'll be taking a look at just briefly. They said the appointments committee chaired by National Assembly. That is Moses with Tangula reportedly divided over the nomination ahead of the debate and the voting on the names in the house this week. According to a tentative order, the committee's report will be tabled this afternoon ahead of its debate tomorrow. As such, the day when the members of parliament can either approve or reject the entire list altogether with amendments, of course. And this has also created room for intense lobbying as those in the red list will be seeking to ensure that they win or they are rejected. If the house approves the nominees, the acting clerk of the National Assembly, that is Sarah Kyoko, will inform the president of the decision and the presidential also appoint those who have been approved formally through a Kenyan Gazette notice. As you can see right there, we have a photo of that which says National Speaker Moses with Tangula makes a grand entry to parliament. Tomorrow is the D day when members of parliament will approve or reject the entire list with amendments. The Asmio members of parliament on the other side say it was understood but however have vowed to mobilize their colleagues to have Lynn Turi's name rejected when the house starts debate on the report tomorrow. And quote and quote, Asmio has a problem with Korea, that is Moses Korea, mythical in Turi and Juma because of the cases they have. But for Penaina Malonze, it was just a small issue with Okambani member, Okambani member of parliament. So they're trying to actually raise the red flags. I think it's a question that will also leave it back to you, back at home for you. I feel like the four CSS do not deserve the nominated spots. And if I told they don't, we would like to hear your feedback as well. If they do deserve or they don't, please tell us on our Facebook and Instagram and Twitter at Y254 channel. It's the social media and also we have the hashtag which is Y254. A Y in the morning, beg your pardon. Then another interesting story as well. I think it's on page number six about the Pakistan journalist who was murdered. That is Ashad Mohammed in another brown breaking story that is being, we are following it up right here. Not only just locally but also international media outlets as well. It's now a national conversation on who exactly killed Ashad Mohammed. Is it allegedly the special service unit? And also next to that page we have a story regarding Ambatouin as a development as well. So let me just take you through it. How wild media reported Sharif's death. Kenya trended on Twitter for the better part of yesterday that was on Monday. As a social media users questioned the killing of Pakistan journalist Ashad Sharif. The trending topic centered on the reasons given by police for the shooting of the popular investigative journalist. And in a statement police spokesman Bruno Shio also claimed that Sharif had been fatally wounded by a police officer after the car that he was in dropped through a roadblock in Magadi, Kajado. His death met global headlines with most of the media outlets questioning the explanation and quote unquote Al Jazeera. I spoke in Pakistan journalist Ashad Sharif was killed in Kenya. He was aged 49 years old. He was also he had fled in Pakistan in August after multiple cases were filed against him for criticizing the military and was shot dead in Kenya. Now, the Washington Post said Washington Post is also a newspaper, a national newspaper that sees a senior Pakistan journalist living in hiding in Kenya was shot and cured by police officer after the car he was in spread up instead of halting at a roadblock. The police said on Monday that they expressed regret over the incident saying it was a case of mistake and identity. The other side the BBC said an investigation had begun in Kenya after a well-known Pakistan journalist Ashad Sharif was shot dead on Sunday. An initial report said officers shot him while he was in a moving vehicle in a case of mistaken identity. And then that is the Hindu times because he is also of Indian-Pakistan descent. Ashad Sharif, a top Pakistani journalist hiding in Kenya since he was facing sedition charges was shot dead on Sunday night. He was reportedly a frequent critic of the Pakistani military establishment and supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan who was ousted in parliament because of no confidence vote in April. So that's how the world media reported that. And down below that it's a probe launched onto the Pakistan journalist Killing. They're saying Ashad was a critic of Pakistan's military as well as a vocal supporter of ousted Prime Minister Imran Khan in his country. The 49-year-old had left Pakistan in August after complaining of harassment. And then he had previously been in the UK and Dubai before travelling to Kenya. It is not known exactly what he was doing in the East African country. And then journalist in the Pakistan city of Karachi had a street protest over his killing. And lastly, below that, this is Pakistan's Prime Minister Shezbaz Sharif. That is on Twitter. He was deeply saddened by the shocking news of Ashad's Sharif's tragic death. And then also on matters privacy, his wife went to Twitter and said that he wants netizens or social media users to actually give her and her family privacy by not tweeting the last photos of the deceased last moments so that they preserve the dignity of their family and not to tweet about the family members. So she asked for privacy. I think it was a tweet that also was trending on Twitter. So if you are on social media yesterday, definitely you got a glimpse of that. And then we also heard even Kenyan journalists like who is this? I've forgotten the name. General Annamo who actually claimed that he was working with him at some point on Twitter. And it was actually a tirade of tweets right there that were actually being talked about. It was a conversation starter yesterday. Another groundbreaking story that will be following up as the day progresses. And then the next story that is on page number seven. It talks about how two Indians and a taxi man met their death. Details have emerged showing how two missing Indians were abducted on Mombasa Road by members of the now disbanded special service unit. Never to be seen again. An affidavit filed in the court reveals that the two Indians and their taxi driver were intercepted on Mombasa Road near Oles Arena Hotel forced out of the taxi before being bundled into a Subaru vehicles bearing GK number plates by members of the disbanded elite squad before being escorted to the Abadir National Park. The affidavit as well was filed by internal affairs unit of the National Police Service yesterday. And the investigators also narrate the role played by each of the four police officers implicated in the forceful disappearance of the three persons. According to the investigators, the four officers were not acting alone but were allegedly taking instructions from other persons of interest who remain at large. Investigations have further revealed that the four abducted the two foreigners identified as Zulfiqar Ahmad Khan and Mohammed Zaid Sami Qidwai. And the taxi driver Nicodemus Monia before dumping them into the National Park of the destination on the night of July 22nd and 23rd. The two Indians were in the country for business and commercial purposes before the disappearance had hired the taxi operator to drive them around. It is alleged that the two had jetted into the country in July to be part of President Ruto's William campaign team. Now the affidavit also filed by Assistant Superintendent of Police Michael Kirui says Monia's taxi was forcefully stomped at the southern bypass interchange that is at around Olesereni by police officers who were arraigned in court yesterday and persons who were still at large. As you can see right there we have a photo. And the caption is for special service unit officers Joseph Kamau Mbogwa, John Mwangi Kamau, Francis Buendon Donye and Peter Mvega Chico. Those are the guilty police officers right there at the Kahawa locals when they were arraigned yesterday. So that's another groundbreaking story that we are taking at Lukant. And just to summarize it they say it's only the office of the DPP and the DCI and National Police Service that has allowed in law to file cases against police. And then I remember yesterday we also had a question on that one as well on whether the current regime has actually come in handy when it's that time to actually have some of these underground at large forces to be done away with because previously we have seen a lot of extra judicial killings that still continue to unravel even in relation to this current case. And we'll be keeping tabs on that story as it develops. Now let's move to the business page on page 16, Martyrs Business on the business hub that talks about household cutback on savings as inflation bites. I definitely this is regarding the cost of living in the country. You can see right there households cut back on savings as inflation bites. That means the economy still continues to take a nosedive and the cost of living continues to go high. And just a description of that they say the annual inflation rate accelerated for the seventh consecutive month to a 9.2% in September. This is last month and above market focus of 18.6% and the ceiling of the central bank's target range of 2.5% to 7.5% a hike and increase. And then households are now channeling nearly all the expenses to necessities like food, housing and energy. However, even those have also witnessed some form of the biggest hikes in prices at different points in the past one year. Just to and they're trying to actually give us a little bit of the of hacks right there. They're saying that if you want to survive right now you have to embrace recycling habits. This means that you know you'll be able to actually you know if if you if maybe you had food remains you have to actually you know warm them up. I think there's usually that story of Oogali like there's no need of dumping Oogali because anyways I don't know if you've ever experienced that like. I've personally I've seen someone who like ate Oogali the other night and then they used it for breakfast the next day just to survive because the economy is really bad. Okay, so you'll do anything to survive as well. That's another interesting story. So down below they're saying households are channeling a lot of expenses to ensure that they survive and expensive. The amount someone earns while they live and what they buy affects what they can comfortably afford. It also detects how they can balance their expenses to beat the odds. That's according to the business hub page 16 of the people daily and in regarding bank accounts or those people that have savings. A number also buy household goods in bulk to take advantage of discounts, especially offered by supermarkets while others have to cut down on journeys and reduce the quantity of meals. They take as a result of the declining in purchase power and even to serve. Now that also talking about a second kg, a second kilogram or two kilograms of maize flour is costing as high as up to 300 Kenya shillings with more inflationary pressures expected this month due to increase in the prices of electricity. Some Kenyans are considering cutting the expenses on perishable food items and electric appliances which require constant energy and preservation. Most consumers of alcoholic beverages say that they have since downgraded their favorite drinks due to the high cost of living. So if a story of drinks and maize it's not going to work anymore. Okay, now the last page or the last cover of the people daily on tomato sports. We have Kylian Bapi who is the highest paid sports person. He revealed he earns 75 billion Kenya shillings and that is according to his three years new deal at PSG that is Paris Saint-Germain. And his contract will see his afford who will earn over 75 billion Kenya shillings. Wow, what a huge amount of cash right there. And in three years according to the report that he's only 23 years old he signed a new deal with the French champions in the summer when he seemed to have been destined to live for Real Madrid in the shock of a U-turn that preceded his legal battles and a march of controversy. According to the Parisian via the get a French football news bumper will earn the money in gross salary which will make him the highest paid sports person ever. And just to just a little glimpse of his scores and his performance he has scored 164 goals in the 177 games. Beg your pardon that he has played that is for Paris Saint-Germain since joining where the £130.5 million euros from Monaco in 2018 netted up to 21 times in 39 appearances on a loan of that Paris in that Paris year and before the deal he made permanently. So 8.6 billion annual gross salary, 21.6 billion signing bonus payable in three times, 8.4 billion loyalty bonus that is up to 2023 next year and then with the 9.6 billion loyalty bonus in 2024 with up to 10.8 billion loyalty bonus in 2025. So that means if it's going to stay. But because I think one thing about this football club is that you know once you see you're not doing well in a football club and they're not paying you well or maybe they are undervaluing you and you're presented with a better offer, all you have to do is move. It happens even to professions, you know. So that's just a summary or a glimpse of what has been making head or what is still continuing to make headlines on the people daily newspapers and as you even wait for many other news developments to unfold. We'll be keeping tabs right here to bring you up to speed with each and every detail of each and every news development as Ethan falls on that note. We are going to take a short break. You can continue to interact with us on our Y254 channel, that's on Facebook, Instagram and on Twitter as well at Y254 channel and personal at Brian Circle 101. The hashtag is Y in the morning. We take a break. We are back with much more right here.
