Raila Calls Off Anti-Government Protests

Opposition leader Raila Odinga on Sunday evening called off the anti-government protests which were set to enter the third day on Monday.

Rayvanny’s beef with Harmonize escalates

Tanzanian singer Rayvanny has fired back at Harmonize in what seems to be a reignited online beef. The bitter online exchange began when Harmonize told artists to go slow on releasing alcohol-themed songs, which Rayvanny said was a subject Harmoniez to comment on as he had no hit song on alcohol. Later, Harmonize responded by saying Rayvanny was stuck to Wasafi despite leaving the label months ago. An angry Rayvanny hit back, saying Harmonize was not his match, pointing out that he even wrote verses for him in a song they did together. Rayvanny further said Harmonize was boastful about the sum he paid to exit his former label, an amount Rayvanny said was a drop in the ocean compared to what he paid. “You paid Wasafi Tsh600 million umelia kwenye media zote mzee … Incase ...

Kembi Gitura’s appointment to Kemsa Board revoked by President Uhuru.

President Uhuru Kenyatta has revoked the appointment of Kembi Gituri to the Kemsa board. He has instead appointed Mary Mwadime as the chairperson of the board.

Facebook board delays decision about Trump’s possible return.

Facebook's Oversight Board has delayed its decision regarding former US President Donald Trump's possible return to Facebook and Instagram. Trump was banned from Facebook in January after the Capitol Hill riots. The Board said the delay was due to the time it has taken to review over 9,000 public responses to cases. A decision was originally due by 21 April. In a statement on Twitter, the Board said it would make a decision "in the coming weeks". The BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites. The ruling will be the biggest decision the Oversight Board has had to make since it started taking on cases last year. The Board was set up to rule on difficult or controversial moderation decisions made by Facebook. The 20-member committee, established ...
