Mwita appeared at Kahawa Law Courts after authorities arrested him in Mombasa and transferred him to Nairobi, where he could be held at Industrial Area Police Station if the magistrate grants the extended custody request.
His defense attorneys, Lempaa Soyinka and Ayota Magati, rejected the accusations and contended that...

Questions have emerged about whether insufficient rest contributed to a fatal Munenzva bus crash that claimed four lives and injured 13 people near Rutenga during a journey toward South Africa.

Convex Audio has launched acoustic space simulation software that allows users to construct virtual rooms by defining physical dimensions rather than adjusting conventional reverb parameters. The Windows VST3 plugin enables independent control of width, length and height measurements ranging from one to 100 meters, with the simulation engine responding instantly to create environments from compact studios to expansive halls or unconventional structures like tunnels and towers.
The software provides precise positioning control for both sound sources and listeners within constructed spaces, enabling manipulation of stereo placement and depth perception. Users can modify the distance between simulated listener ears to adjust the stereo...
