Former Chief Justice David Maraga says police removed his security team after he joined protests. He sent a letter to Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen and Police Inspector General Douglas Kanja on June 27. Maraga complained about the sudden recall of officers assigned to protect him.

Maraga received consistent security protection since retiring from office on January 12, 2021. The Retirement Benefits Act guarantees this protection for former chief justices. One officer assigned to him was told not to report for...

The nurses want several major changes from their employers. They demand permanent jobs for workers hired under the health coverage program who currently have temporary contracts. The union also wants the government to use a new pay scale that officials recommended last year. County...

Nancy Njeri Macharia turned down her appointment to lead the Murang'a County Public Service Board. The former Teachers Service Commission chief executive sent a letter to Governor Irungu Kang'ata on June 25. She thanked the governor for choosing her but said she could not accept the position. Macharia explained that an international organization had offered her another job. She believed taking both roles would hurt her ability to do either job well.
Macharia discovered the county position required full-time work. She had wanted a part-time role that would let her handle multiple professional duties. The international opportunity made it impossible for her to commit fully to the county board leadership. She expressed appreciation for...
More than 300 cattle herders filed a lawsuit against Uganda's government on Tuesday. The pastoralists want courts to stop forced removals from northern regions. They challenged a presidential order from 2023 that demands their departure from the area. The herders say officials violated their basic rights under the constitution.
Military commander Felix Busizoori and police chief Ocaya Phillip set a June 25 deadline for evacuation. Kenneth Omona, the northern Uganda minister, gave the herders just 14 days to leave. The pastoralists argue that government officials never held proper hearings before making these demands. They claim authorities failed to check their legal status as land settlers.
