Police gain clues on terrorists’ escape plan through recovered mobile phones

Two damaged mobile phones recovered from near the scene where three escaped terrorists were arrested hold the key to how they planned Kamiti jailbreak. This includes information on how the terrorists got money to enable their movements from Kamiti Maximum Security Prison to Kamuluyuni village in Kitui county. The mobile phones data will also tell how Musharraf Abdalla, Joseph Juma Odhiambo and Mohammed Ali Abikar moved from the city. Reports suggest they had “a lot” money before they were captured on Thursday as they sought direction to Boni Forest, Lamu county. And police believe the three were in communication with unknown men who were waiting to pick them up in Masalani, a few kilometers away from where they were caught.

Three out of about a reported 80 people -- so not even close. It's a deeply troubling trend that started to make itself known in San Francisco just the night before, on...

Miguna return in limbo as Court refuses to lift red alerts

The High court has declined to lift the red alerts issued by the Kenyan government preventing self declared NRM leader Miguna Miguna to travel to the country. Judge Hedwig Ong'undi said there was no evidence showing that Miguna had been stopped from returning to the country. He noted that the burden of proof was on Miguna to show that the red alerts exist "There is no evidence to prove the alerts exist. This court cannot rule on speculation to grant the orders he is seeking. Case dismissed," Justice Hedwig said. "Court being a Court of law expected him to adduce evidence to prove existence of the red alerts." Under a certificate of urgency, Miguna said the alerts had prevented Lufthansa and Air France airlines from allowing him to board its planes for purposes of travel...

Lillian secures first-round win in property dispute with Governor Mutua

Governor Alfred Mutua’s estranged lover Lillian Nganga has won the first round of their bitter court battle over a property dispute. This is after the court dismissed Mutua’s pleas to have the case transferred to Machakos where he claimed the dispute arose. However, the court dismissed his objections ruling that the matter will be heard in Nairobi. Mutua had argued that the Nairobi court lacked territorial jurisdiction to hear and determine the case on the basis that the dispute arose within Machakos County. The court also dismissed the county boss argument that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the case filed by Nganga on the basis of the value of the shares and stocks in question. Mutua had also claimed that the issues raised by Nganga in the case were resjudicata arguin...

VCs fight Magoha plan to control varsities

Vice chancellors of public universities have disputed plans to amend sections of the University Act to give the Education CS control over the institutions. The University Act is the supreme authority guiding governance of the institutions. Among proposals fronted include the review of the powers to the university council. The councils are the main decision-making organs in the universities. Magoha argues that by the fact that the councils enjoy and exercise delegated authority from the Cabinet Secretary, he should reserve the right to review or vacate a council decision. “As the designated appointing authority, the Cabinet Secretary shall have power to revoke any appointment to, or transfer or otherwise deploy the chairperson or any member of any Council,” the proposal by ...
