Good morning, Tseikuru and all of Kitui!

From the desk of your core publisher here at Tseikuru Times — your trusted local-first voice bringing you Kenya’s breaking news with the context that matters to us in Mwingi North and beyond. It’s Monday, 21 September 2026. The sun is up over the Tana River plains, the market is stirring, and here’s what’s fresh and new for our readers today.

Local PulseResidents across Kitui are being urged to prepare for the coming wet season. County meteorological officials confirm enhanced rainfall is expected from mid-to-late October as El Niño conditions take hold. The rains could stretch into early 2027, bringing both relief for farmers and the usual flood risks along seasonal rivers and low-lying areas.

Our advice remains the same: clear drainage around homes, secure livestock, and plant with the forecasts in mind. Stay safe when the rivers rise. Security remains a quiet priority after the difficult months earlier this year. We continue to follow developments closely and will update you the moment anything new breaks.
