Travis Maina, the 2-year-old boy, had a fork jembe lodged on his head following an accident at their home when playing.
The boy’s last days culminating in his death while undergoing surgery at Kenyatta National Hospital generated a heated debate over Kenya’s capacity to handle such medical emergencies.
With a new change of guard in the presidency, a new Aide-de-Camp’s entry excited Kenyans’ interest in who would replace former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s ADC Lieutenant Colonel Timothy Lekolool.
Following the resignation of George Kinoti as DCI boss, Mohamed was appointed and sworn in as the new boss.
His entry immediately attracted national attention when he shared his mobile number saying he was open to receiving crucial information that would help him fight crime.
Still, on most searched items, many Kenyans inquired online about the meaning of the renamed Huduma Day which was formerly known as Moi Day.
Mashujaa Day also attracted attention, especially being the first public and national event presided over by President Ruto.
Also, people looking for jobs targeted the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner which announced fresh vacancies targeting to hire skilled personnel for various positions.
The recruitment exercise closed for applications on October 26.
