Kenya Power Company officials denied this possibility completely. Their manager, Duncan Machuka, claimed that all electrical...
A 44-year-old house helper died after using a charcoal jiko in her poorly ventilated room. Irene Wamalwa failed to appear for work Thursday morning, causing her employers to check on her. They knocked at her door with no answer, forcing them to break in. They discovered her body lying on the bed next to a burned-out jiko inside her locked quarters.
The victim worked for an insurance company CEO at their Kileleshwa home. Police found all windows closed tightly, leaving no air circulation in the room. They suspect she either wanted to keep warm during the night or possibly committed suicide. Her body was taken to the morgue as investigators determined if carbon monoxide had killed her.

The cabinet wants former Meatco CEO Mushokabanji back, despite his failure to save the meat company from money troubles. President Nandi-Ndaitwah backs his return, reportedly influenced by Swapo's Shaningwa plus businessman Joseph Andreas, who has beef market interests. The ex-finance minister Shiimi refused this plan, saying only the board should pick the CEO. Sources believe Nandi-Ndaitwah removed Shiimi from Cabinet partly because he blocked Mushokabanji's contract renewal. This CEO battle has become one of the first political fights in the new government.
The push for Mushokabanji's five-year term started last year when Cabinet ordered his contract renewed. Board chairman Nghikembua, with most directors, asked to search for better...
