Seven men face jail for hurting a lady at a funeral. The court says they grabbed her, locked her up, and beat her. These men - Dismark, Lameck, Jones, Elijah, Zacharia, Robert, and Martin - said they did not do it when they went before Judge Bernard.

Justin Muturi keeps saying mean things about President Ruto these days. He says Ruto makes Cabinet members feel scared to talk freely with others. Muturi told a TV show his old workmates will not answer when he calls them. They fear Ruto might hurt their jobs if they speak with him.
