Located at Muvuti-Kiima-Kimwe Ward within the proposed New Machakos town, the Machakos Airport will sit on 104 hectares – about 8.5% of the planned 892-hectare town. The project involves construction of a taxiway, passenger and presidential terminals, as well as a 1.35km runway, and other amenities such as link roads and a water treatment plant. “The runway will be 1350m long and 45m wide. At both ends of the runway, a stop way will be constructed. The runway shoulders will be 7.5m wide and a Runway End Safety Area (RESA) of 180m length and 160m width will be provided at both ends of the runway,” Machakos says in its project report. The Machakos Airport’s passenger terminal, the airfield’s main terminal, will comprise 10 check-in counters, six security check points, 10 gates, six passenger boarding bridges, and immigration counters for arrival

“He died of strangulations. There is evidence of torture on his nails and toes. The postmortem was done in the presence of police officers from Dagoretti and officers from the Forensic Department of the DCI,” Charles Madowo his lawyer said.


The lawyer said that Bashir will be buried on Monday afternoon and that they will follow up on the matter until he gets justice.It remains unclear who ended his life and for what reasons.

His body was recovered on May 15, three days after he was declared missing and a report filed at Muthangari police station.

“We are praying to Allah and we hope that we shall get to know what really happened. These issues must come to an end as a family we need to have our rights respected,” he said.

June says ‘I do’ to her Nigerian fiancé Alexander Paul Ezenagu at a posh-looking wedding in Karen. High-profile dignitaries from both Kenya and Nigeria are gracing this event. DP Ruto on Thursday during the National Prayer Breakfast event at Parliament Buildings confirmed the wedding ceremony. “Last night as I was preparing, elders came from the village including some of my relatives because my daughter got a spouse. She works in foreign affairs and so she chose a foreigner to be her spouse,” the DP said. June Ruto studied international relations at the University of Queensland, Australia, and also has a bachelor’s degree in Diplomacy from the United States International University in Nairobi.

 President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto are set to share a table for the first time after months of avoiding each other. The two leaders, who have fallen out over 2022 succession politics and the Building Bridges Initiative, are expected to grace the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday. The annual event, in which political leaders, including ODM leader Raila Odinga, Musalia Mudavadi (ANC) and Kalonzo Musyoka (Wiper), have been invited, will take place at Parliament Buildings. Uhuru and Ruto have met twice face to face this year – on February 15 during the burial of former Cabinet minister Simeon Nyachae in Kisii and February 25 during a Cabinet meeting at State House, Nairobi. The two no longer read from the same script in the running of government affairs. Uhuru, who has edged Ruto out of the government in what is seen as a move to cut DP’s influence in government circles, has chosen to concentrate on legacy projects and BBI-driven constitutional amendment.
