Prosecutors want to keep computer expert Kelvin Mutisya Mutava locked up for five more days. They claim he took money to mess with security camera videos from Albert Ojwang's death case. The government paid him 3,000 shillings to delete important footage that shows what happened at Nairobi Central Police Station. Mutava appeared at Kahawa Law Courts alongside another suspect's lawyer. Officials filed fresh papers on July 1 asking for more time to finish their investigation.
Magistrate Gideon Kiega Oenga heard the request during Tuesday's court session. State lawyer Gichuhi told the judge they need extra days to complete their work on the case. The court ordered all parties to respond to the application before making any decisions...
President Trump wiped away most punishment rules against Syria on Monday. The White House announced this major change affects the war-torn country after years of tough economic blocks. American officials removed five different penalty programs that stopped trade and money flow. The new Syrian government can finally do business with American companies again. Treasury Department workers already gave permission for deals with Syria's banks and state businesses.
Assad and his criminal friends still face money blocks from Washington. Drug dealers and chemical weapon makers cannot escape these restrictions either. ISIS terrorists and Iranian helpers remain on the punishment list too. State Secretary Marco Rubio must check if Syria should...
Mwingi residents finally see progress on the deadly Enziu Bridge project that killed dozens of people. The construction started back in December 2021 right after the tragic accident but stopped completely for years. Deputy President Kithure Kindiki stepped in to fix the money problems between the government and the building company. The contractor demanded 91 million shillings before returning to work on the dangerous crossing. Officials paid the disputed amount and construction crews came back in May.
Kindiki promises the bridge will never stop again during the building process. The government still owes another 74 million shillings to finish the entire 165 million shilling project. Workers must complete everything before December...
A judge ordered top cops to bring back a missing blogger dead or alive. Justice Chacha Mwita told police chiefs they must produce Ndiangui Kinyagia after he vanished from his home. The Law Society of Kenya demanded urgent action when the activist disappeared on June 21. Police visited his house and became the last people seen at his place before he went missing. The judge questioned why officers could not explain where Kinyagia had gone.
Detective teams claimed they wanted to question him about stirring up trouble during youth protests. Officers broke down his door when nobody answered and grabbed his computers and phones. They said a caretaker told them Kinyagia left with two unknown men earlier that day. The judge doubted this story...
Esther Passaris wants to stop protesters from marching near government buildings. The Nairobi Woman Representative backs a new law that would ban demonstrations around Parliament and State House. She says online messages told people to storm these important places during recent protests. Passaris believes these actions went far beyond peaceful demonstrations. The politician thinks constitutional rights got twisted into dangerous behavior.
Protesters clashed with police during last week's memorial march for young Kenyans who died. The demonstrations started peacefully but turned violent as crowds faced off against officers. Angry groups targeted government buildings across the country during the chaos. Kikuyu Law Courts and Nyandarua...
Martha Karua blasted top police chiefs for ignoring court demands about a missing blogger. The Narc Kenya leader slammed Inspector General Japhet Koome and DCI Director Mohamed Amin during Tuesday court hearings. She accused both men of completely disrespecting a judge's direct order from Monday. The court had demanded they bring blogger Ndiang'ui Kinyagia forward or give good reasons for his absence. Karua told the judge that neither official bothered showing up to explain themselves.
Kinyagia vanished from his Kinoo apartment when masked men grabbed him on June 21. His worried family reported the kidnapping to local police two days later. The blogger has been missing for ten whole days without any word about his condition. Judge...
Doctors at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital pulled off something amazing. They did Kenya's first kidney artery bypass surgery on a young woman. The 20-year-old patient had serious blood flow problems to her kidneys. Dr Stephen Takow led the team that made medical history on June 24. The woman went home healthy after the groundbreaking operation.
The patient suffered from dangerous high blood pressure caused by blocked kidney arteries. Her arteries were severely narrowed and stopping blood from reaching her kidneys properly. Doctors tried other treatments first but they would not work for her case. The surgical team decided the bypass procedure was her best option. They grafted new blood vessels to restore normal flow around the...
Government officials walked away from court empty-handed after failing to bring back missing activist Ndiangui Kinyagia. Police chiefs claimed they never had the blogger locked up anywhere. Judges had demanded cops produce Kinyagia at exactly 11 am Tuesday morning. Officers came back with nothing but excuses and paperwork. The whole mess started when courts ordered Police Chief Douglas Kanja to find the missing man.
Detective Sergeant Samuel Itegi told everyone that Kinyagia was being hunted for his part during recent youth protests. Police teams went looking for the activist at his home but found empty rooms. The building caretaker said Kinyagia had already left with two unknown men earlier that day. Officers decided to break down...
