Incredible that 7 years after clobbering a 6-month-old to death, the suspects, POLICE OFFICERS, are yet to be charged.

The latest excuse given was that the presiding judge had been transferred.

This is unacceptable.
Perhaps it really is time for judicial #radicalsurgeryKE Six-month-old Samantha Pendo died with a broken skull and of internal bleeding. Her parents have had to endure the agony of postponement after postponement in Kenya's law courts #radicalsurgeryke

The government owes Mission Hospitals over 2 billion shillings through NHIF.

The government wants to take charge of faith-based universities after failing to manage existing public universities effectively.

These were the key messages Catholic Bishops had yesterday in their press statement.

But all you heard was that Bishops were complaining about the "exorbitant" increase in the Work Permit Charges paid for Missionaries, from Kshs 15,000 to Kshs.

Why? The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops erred in putting together a press statement with too many messages.

This leaves journalists with discretion to choose what works for them or their beat. This could be public interest or what interests the public.

I had an extensive @BBCAfrica interview with Raila Odinga on Kenya demonstrations when parts of Northlands and Kibera were on fire Monday night. He believes the attack was planned by government. He also told me why Uhuru Kenyatta, the former president of Kenya, is a target. Raila says he bears no responsibility for the destruction in other parts of Kenya during #MaandamanoMondays and defends his supporters' right to picket- even the violent ones. He gave his reasons. I asked him whether he was stretching the meaning of peaceful demonstrations.

It is hard to separate Monday's raids on former President Uhuru Kenyatta's family land from the brazen threats to do exactly that by Kenya government and ruling party officials and MPs, and the absence of police when hundreds of livestock were stolen and property destroyed. Majority Leader Kimani Ichungwa expressly threatened Uhuru Kenyatta with raids on his farms for allegedly sponsoring Kenya's #Demonstrations , without giving proof.

Yesterday during #Maandamano, I went live on Tik Tok for the first time.
In 30 minutes, I gained 8,000 new followers.
To put this in perspective, I gained less than 500 followers on Instagram the whole of 2022. I have been trying to "hack" the General Z audiences. My age mates (you 🤣) on Twitter and FB already know me. Well, I got the answer when I decided, "Today, I will share my serious content on my dull, dormant Tik Tok page first." The response was dramatic

So my crew and I went to Laikipia to find out why bandits were burning homes, killing people and boldly facing police in a gunfight. Its a complicated web of historical injustice, greed and pure criminal enterprise. Its a part of Kenya now called a disturbed zone. Contested lands in a conflict which has made it unsafe for children to go to school without armed escort.
