Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i, has jetted back to the country from the United States, amid speculations over his intentions to run for President in the upcoming 2027 General Election. Matiang'i touched down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), at 11.40 pm on Thursday, April 17, aboard Qatar Airways from Washington.
However, he declined to address the press but "thanked God for the good journey" off-record, saying he would speak to the country later. Matiang'i was received by various leaders including Jubilee Party Secretary-General Jeremiah Kioni, Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka, and nominated Senator Gloria Orwoba among others.
The former CS jets back amid widespread speculation over his presidential ambitions, reports that broke during the June 25 Gen Z-led protests, talks that have since remained active in the country's political scene.
Over the period, the former CS who served during former President Uhuru Kenyatta's tenure, has remained tight-lipped on the matter.
