On Wednesday, January 26, I received at least three requests on my SIM line, in which some fraudsters somewhere were attempting to register new SIM cards using my national ID number. - @StandardKenya
The first SMS that I received from Safaricom service line 707 was delivered at 12:07pm. It read: “Dear customer, a new number 797XXXX08 is about to be registered under your ID number. Please reply with Yes to continue or NO to cancel the registration.” - @StandardKenya
I quickly pressed: “NO” and, immediately the service line sent back a receipt message, saying: “Dear customer, the new line registration request received under your ID has been cancelled. Thank you.” - @StandardKenya
When business mogul Christopher John Kirubi lived, anyone who asked, heard or saw him knew him to be wealthy. But, how wealthy was he? - @StandardKenya
Other than Forbes, which estimated his wealth to be around Sh40B, it was only God, himself and lawyers who knew how much the businessman who died on June 14, 2021, had amassed, and maybe his children.
Everyone else made a guess based on the finer things in life he had, what he wore and the companies that were associated with him.

A Kenyan man, Abdulrahman Imran Juma, wanted in the USA over claims of money laundering will remain in custody pending the determination of his extradition proceedings. - @BD_Africa
Nairobi chief magistrate Wendy Kagendo ruled that Abdulrahman Imraan Juma will remain in custody until the case by @ODPP_KE Noordin Haji, seeking to extradite him to the USA, is determined.
Mr Juma is wanted over claims of money laundering and is alleged to be part of an international gang that conspires to commit wire fraud and aggravated identity theft by targeting unsuspecting businessmen who need loans.
The picturesque landscape as you drive from Majembeni towards Widho off the Malindi-Lamu highway looks like a postcard on the paradisiacal offers of some of the most hidden parts of Kenya. - @NationAfrica
Once you branch off the newly tarmacked highway, giant coconut trees tower over large swathes of virgin lands. And here, a dusty road that is rarely used, save for the occasional bodabodas, leads one to a tiny village that was until recently virtually unknown.
At daytime, Widho, which before 2015 was part of the dense Boni Forest, looks like any other rural outpost, with a few shops, one bar and no electricity or mobile phone network.
Maasai Mara Uni is once again, on the spot after the academic papers of the man who has been running the institution for the last two years came into question. - @NationAfrica
Documents obtained by the Nation show that Kitche Onyango Magak, who was fired last week as acting vice chancellor, holds a PhD from an online university neither recognised nor accredited anywhere in the world.
The papers presented by Prof Magak showed that he is a Doctor of Philosophy in Literature and Communication, having obtained his qualification from the Washington International University on February, 15, 2005.
