Shocking Mombasa Child Trafficking Bust: 22 Girls Rescued as Musician 'Mjanja Almas' Faces Defilement & Exploitation Charges at Shanzu Law Courts

Inside the Horrifying Child Trafficking Ring That Used Fake Rescue Centres to Exploit Minors: How Intelligence-Led Detectives Dismantled the Operation, Rescued 22 Vulnerable Girls, and Dragged the Suspected Mastermind to Face Justice at Shanzu Law Courts. In a chilling operation that has sent shockwaves through Kenya's coastal region and ignited national outrage over the vulnerability of children to predatory exploitation, detectives from the Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Protection Unit (AHTCPU) have dismantled an alleged child trafficking and sexual abuse ring operating under the sinister guise of charitable rescue operations. The high-stakes intelligence-led crackdown culminated in the dramatic arrest of a 27-year-old suspect—who doubles as a musician under the stage name Mjanja Almas—and the rescue of twenty-two (22) female juveniles from multiple facilities across Mombasa and Kilifi counties, exposing a nightmare of systematic child abuse that had festered behind a carefull...

Babu Owino Crowned Kenya's Best Performing MP for the Second Year in a Row — Full 2026 Rankings Revealed

Kenya's political landscape continues to evolve, and with it, the standard of accountability expected from elected leaders. Once again, Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has risen above his peers to claim the title of Kenya's best performing MP, topping the highly respected Politrack Africa Star Leaders Awards for the second consecutive year — a remarkable achievement that underscores his growing influence and consistent delivery to constituents.

Babu Owino Scores 68.4% — Leading the Pack by a Narrow Margin
In what is shaping up to be one of the most closely watched parliamentary performance rankings in recent Kenyan political history, Babu Owino emerged at the top with an impressive 68.4% approval rating. The rating, which reflects public perception, constituency development, legislative activity, and overall leadership, places him firmly ahead of the competition in a field of Kenya's most active and visible legislators.

The Politrack Africa Star Leaders Awards is widely regarded as one of the most credible and data-driven political performance evaluation frameworks on the continent, making this recognition all the more significant for the outspoken Embakasi East lawmaker.

Who Came Second? Lugari's Nabii Nabwera and Mavoko's Patrick Makau Hot on His Heels
Coming in at a very competitive second place with a 67.7% approval rating were two legislators who have been making waves in their respective constituencies — Lugari MP Nabii Nabwera and Mavoko MP Patrick Makau. Their near-identical scores signal a highly competitive field and indicate that Kenyans across different counties are increasingly holding their representatives to higher standards of performance and accountability.

The fact that two MPs from vastly different regions tied at this level speaks volumes about the growing culture of performance-based politics taking root across Kenya.

Rounding out the top rankings at 65.2% were three lawmakers who have each built strong reputations in their home turf:
Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro — who was ranked second best-performing legislator by Infotrak in the previous year — made a notable leap forward, cementing his position among Kenya's legislative elite.
Molo MP Kuria Kimani — a consistent name in performance-focused parliamentary conversations — tied at the same rating, reflecting solid grassroots work and legislative engagement.
Kabete MP Githua Wamacukuru — also joining the 65.2% club, proving that Nairobi-area legislators can deliver results that resonate with voters.

What These Rankings Mean for Kenyan Politics
The Politrack Africa Star Leaders Awards rankings are more than just numbers — they represent a shift in how Kenyan voters evaluate their representatives. Rather than rewarding politicians based solely on party loyalty or national visibility, citizens are increasingly scoring MPs on tangible deliverables: development projects, parliamentary participation, community engagement, and responsiveness to constituent needs.

Babu Owino's back-to-back dominance of this list is a testament to what sustained, visible grassroots leadership looks like — and a benchmark other legislators will be working hard to match heading into the next electoral cycle.
