Octopizzo calls out Ruto, on high prices of fuel

Kenyan rapper Octopizzo who often resides outside the country while managing his other businesses, recently released a video on his Instagram page targeting President William Ruto. Having returned to Kenya, it appears that Octopizzo is displeased with the current situation, particularly high fuel prices. In his message, Octopizzo specifically called upon Ruto to reduce the prices of paraffin, as many Kenyans still rely on fuel for cooking and lighting their lanterns, particularly in disadvantaged areas such as the ghettos. The rapper has also criticized Members of Parliament for remaining silent, despite their knowledge that the issue urgently needs to be addressed. "This is a shout out to Mr President (Ruto). You are hurting us. We still use paraffin stoves in the ghetto....

Masked Gunmen In Nakuru Storm Radio Station, Rob Presenters Live On Air

A radio station in Nakuru County was reportedly robbed while presenters were live on air on Thursday night.

They then proceed to query the presenters on whether there is somebody else in the premises, presumably at an office upstairs, and whether there are CCTV came...
