Trans Nzoia County is on the spot after a damning audit revealed that senior officials irregularly allocated themselves Ksh 30.7 million in unsecured loans, flouting financial regulations and bypassing proper documentation. The Auditor General flagged the transactions, noting that no formal agreements, approvals, or repayment plans were provided. Even more alarming, Ksh 10.6 million remains unaccounted for, with several beneficiaries having already left office, raising fears of deliberate looting and cover-up. Senators reacted with outrage, accusing the county administration of gross financial mismanagement and abuse of office.

The high-profile murder trial of former Pangani-based police officer Ahmed Rashid has taken a dramatic new turn after key prosecution witnesses, most of them serving and former police officers, filed affidavits confirming their readiness to testify against him. Rashid is accused of the 2017 killings of Jamal Mohamed and Mohamed Dahir in Eastleigh, Nairobi, an incident that was captured on video and widely condemned as a blatant case of extrajudicial execution. The fresh affidavits signal a breakthrough for the prosecution, which has long faced challenges securing insider testimonies in police abuse cases. Legal experts say the willingness of uniformed officers…

In a landmark ruling, the High Court in Eldoret has sentenced police officers Emmanuel Barasa and Godwine Wekesa Sirengo to 35 years in prison each for the torture and murder of Dennis Lusava in 2020.

The verdict brings closure to a painful five-year battle for justice by Lusava’s family and human rights advocates, who have consistently pointed to the case as a glaring example of unchecked police brutality and extrajudicial killings in Kenya.

What began as a smooth arrival turned into a botched vanishing act for 57-year-old drug trafficker Wong Hiu Fung, who landed at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport from Bangkok, Thailand, and tried to leave more than just his baggage behind. Upon being cleared by immigration officers, Wong proceeded to the baggage hall, collected his two sizable suitcases, and made his way to the customs screening zone. But just as officers began inspecting his luggage, he pulled a “fake phone call” trick and vanished into thin air, leaving his suspiciously bulky bags behind. Inside the abandoned luggage, Anti-Narcotics Unit detectives discovered 41…

Speaking during a recent public rally, Natembeya said the era of Agikuyu-Kalenjin dominance must come to an end, urging Kenyans to embrace leadership from other historically sidelined communities, including the Maasai, Turkana, and Pokot. “This country doesn’t belong to two communities alone,” Natembeya asserted. “We want to see a Luhya president in 2027. It’s time for others to lead.” The bold remarks are seen as part of Natembeya’s growing national…

Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has criticised President William Ruto for his frequent calls for the opposition to present an alternative development agenda. Speaking on Wednesday, Kalonzo dismissed Ruto’s demands as misplaced, asserting that he already has a comprehensive plan aimed at improving the lives of ordinary Kenyans, not to impress the Head of State. “The president should understand that I owe my loyalty to the people of Kenya, not to him. I have a plan, but it’s not for his approval; it’s for the citizens who are struggling daily under his regime,” Kalonzo stated. The remarks signal heightened political…
