It's a rare sight: Hurricanes Imelda and Humberto are churning off the US East Coast, separated from each other by only 450 miles. This is the closest a pair of hurricanes have been to each other in more than 50 years of satellite observations.

A teacher in Laikipia has been charged with fresh counts of fraud and impersonation.

Caroline Makena is accused of stealing another tutor’s identity to secure employment with the Teachers Service Commission. Court records indicate she fraudulently received KSh 294,134.75 between May 2023 and February 2024 while teaching at Doldol Primary School.

Makena had earlier been charged with using forged academic certificates and another person’s identification documents to get the job. She has been released on a cash bail of KSh 50,000 in the latest case, on top of the KSh 100,000 bail granted in the earlier matter.

The Rumuruti land question

Just when you think Ndung’u of Muthengera has exhausted his bag of foolishness, he digs deeper. Known across the ridges as a loud Manchester United hater, broke to the bone, and still nursing forbidden thoughts about Kiarie’s wife Lillian, Ndung’u hatched his most outrageous betting plan yet. With no money left to lose, he put his second wife Mumbi on the line, swearing Chelsea would humble Man United. The deal was simple: if Chelsea won, Kiarie would hand over his gorgeous wife Lillian, but if United triumphed, Mumbi was gone. To Ndung’u’s horror, United pulled a 2-1 victory, sending him home not only broke but also one wife short. Eyewitnesses say Ndung’u tried to appeal the results by claiming VAR had demons, but even the village chief laughed him out of court. Crushed and desperate, Ndung’u has now hung up his betting slips, declared himself a born again Christian, and joined the praise team. Ironically, his first testimony in church was, “The Lord giveth wives, and the Lord taketh away.”

For over a decade, the name of the man accused of killing Agnes Wanjiru was hidden behind a wall of silence. Now, British ex-soldier Robert James Purkiss has been publicly revealed as the prime suspect in the 2012 murder of the 21-year-old Kenyan mother, whose body was dumped in a hotel septic tank near the British Army Training Unit in Nanyuki. Soldiers who served with him say he confessed, even leading them to the scene of the crime, yet the UK military and government looked the other way. In 2019, a Kenyan inquest ruled that Agnes was unlawfully killed by one or more British soldiers, but no charges followed. With a High Court arrest warrant issued and extradition demanded, Kenya is no longer willing to be ignored. This case is not just about one young woman’s stolen life — it is about exposing impunity, dismantling the culture of silence, and proving that British uniforms cannot shield killers from justice on African soil.
