At the beginning of this week, Nairobi governor Johnson Sakaja unveiled school feeding program kitchens in Dishi na County at Baba Dogo Primary School.

As this happened, President William Ruto launched projects in the Western region during his tour.

This is even as Kenya Kwanza and Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition signed a framework policy for the dialogue.

On Thursday, Nairobians were caught off guard as light rains hit the region. Kenya expects to experience average rain in October-November-December.

President William Ruto presided over an award ceremony that honoured athletes who represented the country in the World Athletic Championship in Budapest.

Here are some of the photos that caught Kenyans' eye:
