Kenya's finest Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga is undoubtedly the best bet for the African Union Commission chairmanship. Africa deserves the best. There is no doubt about Raila's worldview and championship for African people. As a continent, we need a Raila Odinga character to gel the Anglophone and the Francophone selves towards the continent of the future. His win in Addis Ababa imprints his quest for his Panafrican spirit he has lived and championed. Raila Odinga's win will be good and progressive for Africa. His victory will be a win for Kenya, our motherland. 'Hon Gachagua' #kenyanews #gachagua #au #raila

Former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu has been sentenced to 12 years in prison or a fine of Ksh 53.5 million. Waititu was handed a five-year jail term or a fine of Ksh 2.5 million. The court also imposed a mandatory fine of Ksh 51 million, failure to pay leading to an additional seven years in prison. His conviction stems from irregular tender awards in Kiambu County in February 2018. Milimani Anti-Corruption Court Chief Magistrate Thomas Nzioki ruled that Waititu’s actions were a breach of public trust. Waititu’s wife, Susan Wangare, was fined Ksh 500,000/one year in prison. The court stated that the accused benefited from their criminal actions at the expense of public service. Luka Mwangi Wahinya, former Chief Officer for Roads in Kiambu, was sentenced to two years or a fine of Ksh 1 million. He was also fined Ksh 20 million, failure to pay leading to five years in prison. Testimony Enterprises Limited directors, Charles Chege Mbuthia and Beth Wangeci Mburu, received jail terms of four years and three years respectively. Mbuthia was fined Ksh 2 million with an additional mandatory fine of Ksh 294 million. Wangeci was fined Ksh 1.4 million.

The court ordered the return of confiscated documents, including passports, cash bail, and title deeds. Waititu and the co-accused have 14 days to appeal the ruling. #kenyanews

ARREST OF A HIGHWAY ROBBER Police officers stationed at Archer’s Police Post have arrested a notorious lone highway robber who has been terrorizing truck drivers at the Isiolo-Garbatula Junction. The suspect, 36-year-old Ibrahim Hassan, was arrested after a chase that ended in a crash near the police post. Posing as a stranded traveler, the suspect flagged down a white Mitsubishi lorry registration no. KCC 723S at the Isiolo-Garbatula junction, pretending to seek lift to Archer’s town. The kind-hearted driver, embodying the spirit of a good Samaritan, agreed to give Hassan a ride. However, upon reaching Archer’s town, Hassan refused to alight as agreed, and instead brandished a knife with which he threatened the driver, forcing him to continue the journey. Seizing a rare opportunity, the driver jumped out of the lorry and escaped unhurt, and immediately reported the incident to a standby team of police officers at the Archer’s Post. A swift pursuit was launched. Meanwhile, in his bid to evade capture, Hassan commandeered the lorry towards Isiolo town and into an unfamiliar murram road. But as fate would have it, Hassan found himself speeding straight into Archer's post, and at his shadow, the hotly pursuing hawkshaws. Registering a record panic mode, poor Hassan veered off the main road thereby crashing onto a tree. He was arrested at the scene of accident, and upon search found in possession of a panga, a knife, and a screwdriver, further confirming his dangerous intentions. Hassan is currently undergoing processing for arraignment. #kenyanews #trending
