Today we gathered in Kilimani to memorialize a man's legacy on Galana road. It was a gathering of friends who walked with him through decades of struggle, fellow human rights defenders who stood beside him in courtrooms and in conscience, and his beloved widow Viloo, whose quiet strength and partnership made so much of his work possible. Pheroze Nowrojee was a Senior Counsel, poet, defender of the Constitution, and a dear friend. When the Moi government was arresting, detaining, and torturing protestors in the 1980s and 1990s, Pheroze walked into those courtrooms and stood beside political detainees, activists, journalists, and opposition leaders that no one else would touch, among them Koigi wa Wamwere and Raila Odinga, whose detentions without trial were a grim hallmark of that era. He challenged the constitutionality of sedition laws, he questioned detention without trial, and through his collective efforts with a generation of fearless lawyers, we laid much of the legal groundwork for Kenya's eventual return to multiparty democracy. The democracy we enjoy today has his fingerprints on it. He spent his life standing for justice when it was costly, defending the rule of law when it was inconvenient, and doing it all with a quiet brilliance and humanity that left everyone who encountered him changed. Today, his name is beyond the courtrooms and constitutions; it is on a road. Pheroze was more than a legal giant, he was my mentor, a guide, and a friend. I carry his teachings with me as we continue to strive for the Kenya he believed in and gave his life to build. Asante, Pheroze. Nairobi will carry your name forward.

Gachagua Vows to Make Ruto a One-Term President Former DP Rigathi Gachagua on Monday swore to do whatever it takes to make President William Ruto a one-term president. Speaking alongside opposition politicians Kalonzo Musyoka and Eugene Wamalwa, Gachagua declared that he will work with all Kenyans to challenge Ruto’s administration and ensure the president doesn’t see a second term in office. He lashed out at Ruto’s government, calling it a dictatorship and accusing the president of being intolerant. "He wants his way, and all those ministers are just flower girls," Gachagua said, adding that he was the only one who could stand up to Ruto. Gachagua has repeatedly criticized Ruto’s administration since his ouster through impeachment in October 2024. He decried the government as a “one-man show,” claiming ministers have been reduced to mere sycophants. He called on Kenyans to rise against Ruto and warned that any reckless statements made by Ruto or his officials should be documented and forwarded to the International Criminal Court. The former DP has also been forging alliances with political figures he previously opposed. Just recently, he met Martha Karua, the NARC Kenya leader and Raila Odinga’s running mate in 2022, to discuss how they could unite and challenge Ruto’s “dictatorship.” Gachagua’s political future is taking shape through consultative meetings with leaders from different sectors at his Wamunyoro home in Nyeri. In another fiery statement, Gachagua revealed that Mt Kenya could support Western Kenya in the 2027 election, just as they backed Ruto in 2022. He warned that Ruto should not take Western Kenya’s support for granted, and said Mt Kenya could even back Kalonzo Musyoka. Gachagua pointed out that Ruto’s 47% support in Mt Kenya, which contributed to his victory, is now up for grabs and that the region has already started shifting its political allegiance. The former DP also tore into the promises made to Western Kenya, accusing the government of failing to deliver on its pledges, including the promised 1,000 kilometres of tarmacked roads. He was unapologetic, asserting that the region was no longer willing to support a government that does not keep its word.
