Just after overthrowing his father and taking the reins as leader of the Titans, Kronos learned of a prophesy that suggested his fate would suffer a similar coup d’état at the hands of his children. - @NationAfrica
He vowed to never let his children become powerful to challenge him for the throne. Kronos would devour any child his wife Rhea gave birth to.
Eventually, Rhea managed to hide one child by handing the supreme titan a stone wrapped in cloth. The child, Zeus, would eventually overthrow his father.
As families of the 35 people who died after their bus crashed into the notorious River Nithi come to terms with the loss of their loved ones, concern is shifting to the lack of implementation of rules that would have made PSVs safer in case of an accident. - @NationAfrica
The @Modern_Coast bus that was headed to Mombasa from Meru was almost torn into two on impact, after the driver lost control of the vehicle, which swerved off the bridge.
While it’s still too early to say what the cause of the accident was or whether the near disintegration of the vehicle’s body should be of concern, a look at recent accidents involving long distance PSVs shows a similar trend.
In 2017, Kenya implemented a comprehensive ban on shisha, including the use, import, manufacture, sale, offer of sale, advertising, promotion, distribution and encouraging or facilitating its use. - @NationAfrica
Any person who contravenes any provision of these rules may, where a penalty has not been expressly provided for under any provision of the Act, be liable to the penalty contemplated under section 163 of the Act. - Then @MOH_Kenya CS Cleopa Mailu on December 27, 2017.
Dr Mailu also noted that in Kenya, shisha was a gateway to the consumption of other hard drugs such as heroin and bhang.
The battle for the control of the multibillion-shilling @SportPesa brand has taken another twist, after city tycoon Paul Ndung’u filed more supplementary affidavits to @jsckenya - @NationAfrica
This time round, Paul Ndung'u is alleging that somebody at @Kenyajudiciary was involved in “mischievous backdating of an application with an intention to concoct reasons” that were used to determine a case.
Mr Ndung’u has already filed a petition before @jsckenya seeking the removal of the Mombasa-based Court of Appeal Judge Pauline Nyamweya over her handling of the @SportPesa case when she served at the High Court.

Besides tribalism, some people that I worked with went to unimaginable levels to protect their jobs and other favours. - Lee Njiru
Working for State House was lucrative. Allowances were fat, foreign trips so frequent, influence so great, that it was devastating and degrading to be transferred from this seat of power.
To forestall such an eventuality, junior officers offered money to those who wielded the power to recruit and transfer.
