Dido Raso, a Member of Parliament for Saku, went to Vienna, Kenya, as part of the Kenyan team at the 68th Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND). He gave a powerful speech about Kenya's promise to take on the growing challenges of controlling drugs.

Okay, so four people from other countries - China, Singapore, and Sierra Leone - got hauled in front of a judge in Harare on Tuesday. The cops think they were scheming to rob somebody. They wanted to hit a Chinese guy smuggling 4 kilos of gold to Zambia through the Chirundu Border Post.
The suspects are Gohga Kan, a 34-year-old from Singapore, Wu Ke Wen, a 35-year-old from China, and two 27-year-olds from Sierra Leone named Aruna Saidu and Foday Kamara. The judge sent them to jail for now and told them they had to ask the High Court if they wanted to get out on bail.

Alright, here's the gist of what's going down. The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) is pushing back against some chatter that's been making the rounds on social media. Apparently, folks have been saying that Vongai Nadia Mabvirakure was kidnapped or vanished into thin air. But according to the ZRP, that's just not true. They're saying the info being passed around is misleading and doesn't paint the real picture.
Here's the deal: The ZRP says Mabvirakure is actually a suspect in a theft case. The case falls under Section 113 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act, Chapter 9:23. Tichabaiwa Gwadu, who works for the Matiza Foundation, reported the whole thing.
From what they've dug up, it seems like back in September 2024...
