Shoot-First Edict Lands Murkomen in Court Crosshairs
Three major human rights groups have taken Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen to court over dangerous comments about protesters. The Katiba Institute, Kenya Human Rights Commission, and Independent Medico-Legal Unit filed the case at the High Court. They claim Murkomen told police officers to shoot anyone who comes near police stations during his June 26 press meeting. The groups say these words could lead to unlawful killings of peaceful demonstrators. Murkomen has denied making such orders and says he was just explaining existing laws. The organizations argue that Murkomen overstepped his authority when he gave direct commands to police officers. They point out that the constitution gives command power over police to the...

Nintendo Switch 2 Sells Like Hotcakes, 5M Units Still Unconfirmed
Nintendo Switch 2 fans got fooled when fake sales numbers appeared online yesterday. The gaming company told analyst David Gibson that the 5 million June sales figure was just test data.
