Victorian philosopher George Cruikshank questioned the existence of ghosts in 1863 by highlighting an apparent contradiction regarding their clothing. He argued that spirits cannot appear naked for decency but clothes lack souls themselves. This paradox suggested ghosts could not exist at all.
Spiritualism's growth in the mid-19th century complicated matters as witnesses reported apparitions wearing contemporary garments rather than burial shrouds. Researchers debated whether ghost clothing represented metaphysical identity markers or products of observers' unconscious minds dressing familiar figures. In 1897, Anthropologist Andrew Lang compared ghost-seeing to dreaming and proposed that witnesses mentally clothed spirits based on...
The National Police Service Commission and the National Police Service contest the Employment and Labour Relations Court's authority to adjudicate a dispute concerning the proposed recruitment of 10,000 police officers. Former legislator John Harun Mwau filed a petition that led the court to halt the exercise pending case resolution.
The commission asserts the court cannot hear the petition under Section 12(1) of the Employment and Labour Relations Court Act and Article 162(2) of the Constitution, which restricts its mandate to employment and labor relations disputes. Officials argue the recruitment involves national security administration and constitutional interpretation under Articles 238 to 260 rather than employer-employee...

Siaya County Commissioner Nobert Komora ordered civil servants who skipped Mashujaa Day celebrations to submit written explanations for their absence and warned that officers unwilling to serve should resign.

He told officials on Monday that the administration will replace workers who refuse to participate in government functions.
The commissioner praised Siaya residents for their conduct at former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga's burial and urged government employees to demonstrate similar commitment to national service. Kenya observed Mashujaa Day on Monday to honor heroes who fought for freedom...
The National Youth Parliament swore in newly elected members on Monday at the Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara International Conference Centre. Former Speaker Omar Cham told parliamentarians they must serve constituents through sacrifice and justice rather than occupy ceremonial positions. He urged members to address corruption and irregular migration while maintaining discipline and respect for the rule of law.
Cham said success depends on collective resolutions that prioritize citizen welfare and economic development. Jabou Sisawo won the election as Speaker for Upper Fulladu West, and Bukary Gaye became Deputy Speaker for Sabach Sanjal.

The Patriotic Alliance for System Transformation, Emancipation through Functionalism, dismissed the winnable candidate theory and stated that voters determine election outcomes through collective decisions rather than individual charisma. Public Relations Officer Mayorro Sidibeh said sustainable progress depends on institutional strength and inclusive policies rather than personality-centered campaigns. The movement argued that 21st-century governance requires systems-first approaches grounded in democracy and the rule of law, rather than relying on leaders who claim unique abilities to solve national problems.
PASTEF urged political actors to abandon personality cults and focus on collaborative leadership frameworks that strengthen...
