A new study by competition authorities representing a total of 24 African countries found that KQ, as the airline is known by its international code, charges the highest average fares on domestic and international flights.
The finding shows the national carrier risks losing market share to cheaper rivals like Ethiopian Airlines and new entrants, including Uganda Airlines.
Kenya Airways has the highest average passenger price per kilometre (APPK) for all its domestic, regional and international routes. - Report by the African Competition Forum (ACF)

On the night before Tom Cholmondeley died during a routine hip operation at a Nairobi hospital, a Thai girlfriend – hitherto unknown to the family – sneaked into his hospital room “to spend the evening with him”. - @johnKamau1 for @NationAfrica

Tom walked into the city hospital accompanied by his girlfriend, Sally Dudmesh, who lay besides him as they waited for anaesthetist and as he argued with nurses that he did not require an epidural anaesthesia – an injection around the spinal cord during the scheduled hip surgery.

A select list of 15 vote-rich counties could hold the key to next year’s presidential contest between Deputy President William Ruto and opposition leader Raila Odinga, making them hotbeds of political campaigns in the countdown to the August 2022 polls. - @NationAfrica
An analysis of the two most recent presidential elections shows the 15 counties made all the difference between the ruling Jubilee Party’s double wins and the opposition coalition’s losses, indicating their huge bearing on next year’s polls if past voting patterns are replicated.
In 2013, Uhuru beat his main competitor to the presidency, Odinga, by a thin margin of 800K votes, and only 8,000 ballots separated the two from going into a run-off based on the electoral rules that require a wining presidential candidate to secure above 50% of total votes cast.

Tears — some of joy, some of spite and some of fear mingled with rage — rolled down the cheeks of hundreds of Malindi residents as Ronald Ngala lowered the red flag of the Sultan of Zanzibar on December 1, 1961. - @NationAfrica
This was the culmination of numerous conferences and consultations in Kenya, Zanzibar, London.
Without those negotiations, a revolt led by Mwambao activists who fronted the idea that the coastal strip was not part of Kenya would have erupted just like the 1888 Abushiri rebellion in Zanzibar.
