Kenyans protested against recent abductions on Monday. The police tried to break up the crowds. They even brought horses to one protest site in Nairobi.
Senator Okiya Omtatah was among the protesters. He and others locked arms to avoid being arrested. The police used tear gas on the group around 1 pm. This made people run for cover. But the protesters came back together soon after. They kept demonstrating.
Later, Mr. Omtatah and some others held onto a big metal chain. They wanted to stop the police from arresting them. But officers still took Mr. Omtatah and other protesters away. They were brought to a police station.
The protesters want answers about six missing men who disappeared between December 17 and 25. The men's names are...

2024 has been a very difficult year for Boeing. The aerospace giant has dealt with many issues, including safety concerns and poor quality, which have cost it billions.
A workers' strike made things worse. It stopped work at two key factories for weeks. Even Boeing's space program had problems. Two astronauts got stuck on the space station in June. Their Boeing capsule had a possible defect, and coming back to Earth in it was deemed too risky.
Boeing is also facing a crisis of trust within the company. "People in Boeing don't believe in words from top management anymore," says an industry analyst.
Sam Mohawk works in quality control at a Boeing plant. He came forward as a whistleblower earlier this year. Mohawk claimed that thousands...
In the 1960s, Charles Dolan had a big idea: He wanted to bring cable TV to New York City.
In 1964, he made a deal with the city to wire some buildings in Manhattan with cable. A few years later, he had another idea: to show sports on cable to attract more viewers.
Mr. Dolan created a channel called Home Box Office, which showed movies on cable. He then sold his cable company and HBO and used the money to build Cablevision, which provided TV and internet service to many homes in the Northeast.
The Dolan family sold Cablevision in 2015 for nearly $18 billion to a European company called Altice.
By then, Mr. Dolan's son, James, was in charge. The family had mixed reviews from New Yorkers. Some were upset about their sports teams...
The Nairobi County government says the title deeds for two housing projects are safe. Some reports said the deeds were lost, but that is not true.
One project is called Pangani Affordable Housing. The county says a law firm has the title deed. The firm is working on titles for the new homes.
The deed used to be in the county's name. But in 2018, it was moved to a special company that runs the project.
The homes should be done by 2026. Some will be ready sooner, starting in 2025.
The other project is Jeevanjee Bachelors Estate. A bank holds this title deed, which is being used to secure money for the project.
The project is almost halfway done. The cheaper homes will be completed in 2025. The rest will finish in 2026.
The county...
NAIROBI, Kenya — Busia Senator Okiyah Omtatah was arrested on Monday. He was protesting in Nairobi. He wants the government to find missing young people.
Mr. Omtatah and other protesters were taken to the Central Police Station and put in a cell together. The protesters sang a freedom song. They did not want anyone to be questioned alone.
The police tried to take one protester out of the room. But the others blocked them. "No one is going to be taken away," they said.
Mr. Omtatah said the police broke the law by stopping a legal protest. "We cannot cooperate with anybody," he told the police.
He warned the protesters not to share their IDs if questioned. The group chanted, "Implement the constitution." Then, they sang Kenya's...
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) found 11 gas stations selling bad fuel out of nearly 1,300 stations they checked.
EPRA does tests to make sure stations don't sell watered-down gas. They also check that gas meant for other countries isn't sold here.
Over 99% of stations passed the tests, but 11 failed. Six were shut down, four had to pay fines, and one case is still in court.
EPRA did almost 6,000 tests from October to December 2024. They are in charge of stopping fuel tampering.
Two places sold fuel that broke the rules. Issues included:
Diesel with too much sulfur
Diesel for export mixed with kerosene
Regular gas mixed with kerosene
Regular gas meant for export
People can call a hotline to report stations...

WestProp Holdings has a great deal for people who bought homes in Pomona City. They can put 50% down on bricks, and then they have two years to pay the rest.
WestProp is starting a $1 million brick factory. It will help them reach a big goal: making 1 billion bricks by 2050. The factory will also speed up building. In the past, WestProp had issues getting bricks on time. Sometimes, the quality was not good enough.
Most WestProp projects are finished homes, but in Pomona City, buyers build their own. There are only 29 lots left in Pomona Phases 1A, 1B, and 1C. Next year, WestProp will start offering leased land, too.
At first, the brick factory will only make bricks for WestProp's projects. Later, it might sell extra bricks to other...
