Business The road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, has already ended for one African nation.

Meanwhile, Governor Johnson Sakaja, together with Kenya Power and the National Police Service, has initiated a joint initiative of restoring power and enhancing security. The initiative involves guarding power connection points, speeding up replacement...
