Monday’s newspaper front pages

Kenyan Beast takes a look at the stories making the headlines on Monday’s newspaper front pages.

People Daily

People Daily leads on the story of the arrest of Ruai Officer Commanding Station (OCS) Duncan Otieng that exposes rot in police stations across Kenya.

The arrest conducted by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has lifted the lead on the dirty tricks used by police officers to extort from members of the public after arresting them on flimsy or framed up charges.

The Star

The Star says that big names have missed out in the latest Infortrak report as Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro tops new ranking. The paper has also indicated that MPs have previously accused pollster of skewed poll.

Daily Nation

A majority of Kenyans think MPS have performed well since they were elected into office last August with Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro topping charts according to a new Infotrak poll, Daily Nation writes.

Business Daily

Business Daily reports that Kenya`s unemployment crisis deepened further in October after companies cut jobs at a rate last witnessed at the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic when businesses resorted to layoffs, salary reductions, and unpaid leave to stay afloat.

The Standard

The Standard splashes on the view of economy experts who have faulted President William Ruto`s approach to taxation and cost of living, saying the policies will only sink the country deeper in mire and push many to avoid paying taxes, which will ultimately make life unbearable.

The Guardian

On the international front, The Guardian leads on the situation in the Middle East, reporting that Israel has intensified strikes on Gaza in the south amid increasing violence on its northern border with Lebanon.
