From a presidential farm tour to gospel drama and the internet's favourite love chase, here are the five stories that kept Kenyans glued to TUKO.co.ke this week.

1. Ruto's Kilgoris farm gets a high-profile guest

President William Ruto recently welcomed Zimbabwean tycoon Wicknell Chivayo to his sprawling 400-acre farm in Kilgoris, personally getting behind the wheel to show him around the property.

The farm is dedicated to macadamia cultivation, with roughly 3,000 sheep grazing amongst the trees.

Ruto used the visit to highlight his interest in Kenya's agricultural development and food security agenda.

2. Charlene and fiancé's 5-company empire

First Daughter Charlene Ruto and her Tanzanian fiancé Isaya Yunge have quietly assembled a varied business portfolio.

Charlene's interests stretch across real estate, farming and social-impact programmes, while Yunge co-founded SomaApp, a platform designed to connect African students with scholarship opportunities.

Together, their five ventures cover business, agriculture, education technology and community development.

3. George Ruto responds to Teacher Cillah

Teacher Cillah's very public interest in First Son George Ruto has become one of the week's most-discussed storylines online.

Her repeated posts expressing affection for George, which gained traction following Charlene's traditional engagement ceremony, prompted George to respond with a humorous social media post.

He had earlier asked for Cillah's Teachers Service Commission registration number, a comment that sent the internet into a frenzy and kept the saga rolling.

4. Mary Claire and Elvis Opiyo's M-Pesa messages resurface

Following the death of Elvis Opiyo, M-Pesa transaction records linking him to gospel singer Mary Claire Ochieng have come back into public view.

The records indicated several sizeable transfers from Opiyo to Claire in November 2025. Claire maintained that she declined and returned the money.

Separate messages also reportedly showed Opiyo attempting to rekindle their relationship after it ended by offering her an expensive gift.

5. Mwirigi joins the George-Cillah saga

The George and Teacher Cillah story gained yet another chapter when radio presenter Mwirigi stepped into the conversation, playfully urging the first son to drive over and collect her.

George appeared to engage with the ongoing joke by commenting that the saga had gone on long enough and needed a conclusion.

Mwirigi's response to that comment only added more fuel to what has become one of the most entertaining running threads on Kenyan social media this week.
