Close friends of Albert Ojwang say he was arrested on Saturday over posts he made on X about Deputy Inspector General Eliud Langat.

Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli on Saturday denied claims made by Principal Secretary for Housing and Urban Development, Charles Hinga, that the union was involved in drafting the regulations governing the Affordable Housing scheme.
Atwoli challenged Hinga to provide evidence showing COTU’s participation in approving the Affordable Housing Act, emphasizing that the union’s Executive Board never convened to discuss or deliberate on such regulations.
He further criticized the government, accusing it of diverting funds from the Affordable Housing levy to finance other infrastructure projects, including market construction.
