President Ruto’s Nyanza Tour
President William Ruto is currently on a development tour of the Nyanza region as part of his ongoing efforts to advance his broad-based government agenda, where he is engaging the community and local leaders. The President is expected to highlight government initiatives spanning infrastructure, agriculture, healthcare, and youth empowerment.
The tour has stirred national attention following a shoe-throwing incident targeting President William Ruto during his rally in Kehancha, Migori County on Sunday, May 4, 2025. The incident occurred during the tour in Migori County, during which he launched and commissioned several projects, including a 298-unit Kehancha Affordable Housing Project in Kuria West, Migori County.
While no injuries were reported, the police and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have launched a probe, treating the attack as a premeditated act. Despite this, President Ruto remains determined to connect directly with the citizens as he pushes to strengthen ties with communities in Nyanza.

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Regulations
The deadline for compliance with the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations is today, May 5, 2025. These regulations require producers to take responsibility for the entire lifecycle of their products, including end-of-life management like recycling and disposal. Some analysts predict a 16 per cent increase in the cost of goods if NEMA proceeds with the enforcement, which stakeholders say is still unclear to them due to the ambiguity in determining the appropriate unit of measure. NEMA has indicated that it will use ‘standard packaging’ as the basis for calculating the levy, but this is open to wide interpretation.
