Politics is full of secrecy. As the electorate, we only know what politicians tell us, not what they are thinking. For the first time ever, a politician is telling it all. The good, the bad, and the ugly, and we must admit that this is unprecedented. Former Deputy President, Rigathi Gachagua, has made it his life mission to expose all the lies and schemes that happened during his short stint in office, and nobody is safe, not even the president.

With two years left to Kenya’s next general elections, we have already begun to see different candidates declaring their interest in the country’s top job. The constitution of Kenya outlines very clearly what the requirements are to be eligible to run for office. Despite these requirements being enshrined in the constitution and gazetted by the Independent Election and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), every election cycle, we see many people declare their interest for the top job but end up with only […]
Welcome to the August 8th edition, where the week’s playlist feels like a sonic kaleidoscope. 8SG return with a modern concerto that stitches together traditions centuries apart yet united by the same percussive heartbeat — a rallying cry for their self-declared mission to breathe fresh fire into Kenyan drill. Maandy, meanwhile, turns the mirror inward with a dose of uncharacteristic introspection, proving even the baddest can have soft shadows. On the pitch, football has come home, or at least to […]

As July draws its final breath, leaving behind a trail of smoke, heartbreak, and basslines, a fresh wave of Kenyan music emerges to soundtrack the transition. This week’s picks capture that late-month mood—part nostalgic, part defiant, and wholly alive. From Tanasha Donna’s revivalist EDM firestarter to Swahili Papi’s hazy return, and Serro’s soulful cry of betrayal, these songs don’t just close out the month—they set it ablaze, each in its own genre-bending, emotionally charged way. Welcome to New Music on […]
This week’s selection of standout Kenyan releases invites listeners into a world of emotional honesty, romantic reflection, and hard truths. Across the board, artists explore love in its most complex forms—love that heals, love that hurts, love that never quite arrived. These songs are soaked in longing, quiet epiphanies, and the sting of past disappointments. Some tracks feel like letters unsent, while others are declarations finally spoken out loud. There is vulnerability here, but also a calm strength—a sense that […]

Our roundup for July 11 dives into songs that refuse to sit quietly in the background; each track invites you to move, to reflect, and […]
It appears as though every other day, a Kenyan loses their life in the hands of the Kenyan police. As Radio 254, we believe that one life lost is too much as nobody should have to lose their life for speaking up but that is the sad reality that Kenyans are facing under the regime of William Ruto. It has not been even three years since this government came to power and each day the situation in the country gets […]
