A lawyer has asked the court for permission to initiate a private case against three individuals he claims stole land worth Sh300 million. Jason Ondabu told Magistrate Robinson Ondieki that prosecutors approved charges ten months ago but never filed them. He represents Mwadi Women Entrepreneurs Limited, who legally own the five-acre plot along Mombasa Road that was wrongfully transferred to a brokerage firm.
Land Fraud investigators found Mwadi Women were the rightful owners. Both the Ministry of Lands and the National Land Commission confirmed they gave the land to Mwadi Women on February 6, 2019. The government prosecutor recommended charging the brokerage firm directors with false registration and the land officers with office abuse...
South African ANC leader Gwede Mantashe stood up for his nation against US pressure on Sunday. He made it clear that South Africa remains free from American control. The clash started when Donald Trump signed an order in February about South Africa's new land law. Trump claimed the law lets the government take farms from Afrikaner minorities without payment. President Ramaphosa says the law actually helps everyone access land fairly.
The law does allow land seizure without compensation, but only under specific conditions. Trump offered refugee status to Afrikaners, calling them victims of racial discrimination. Mantashe criticized South Africans who asked Trump to punish their country. He suggested those people should leave if they...

Former Deputy President Gachagua plans to run for president in two years. He expects an easy win despite his recent removal from office.

Later, they must pick just one person to represent them. Gachagua promises to back whoever they choose, even if they reject him.
The impeached leader said parliament removed him against public wishes. He...
The world's largest car carrier started its first trip Sunday night, carrying over 7,000 BYD electric vehicles from China to Brazil.

Wang Junbao from BYD said at last week's delivery ceremony that this vessel creates a maritime bridge connecting Chinese innovation with global markets. China led the world in car exports last year with more than 6.4 million vehicles shipped overseas. Several...
A High Court judge backed President Ruto's party's decision to remove Cleaphas Malala from his leadership role. Justice Bahati Mwamuye canceled previous orders that had stopped Hassan Omar from taking over as UDA secretary general. The court threw out a ruling made last year by the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal. Mwamuye declared all proceedings from that tribunal invalid. He said Malala cannot continue his appeal there.
UDA kicked Malala out of his position last August after weeks of party fighting. The party's national council met under chairperson Cecile Mbarire before making this choice. They published their decision about replacing Malala with Omar in an official government notice. The court affirmed that this notice remains...
