Another Death Inside A Police Station! 24 years old Brian Njung’e, a student at Kiambu National Polytechnic, was arrested yesterday Thursday 21st May morning in Kirigiti area of Kiambu town and booked at Kiambu Police Station. Brian called his mother from the police station around 9am and they spoke, where Brian informed the mother of his arrest. The family, including the mother, rushed to the police station to follow up. They got there just before noon and requested to see Brian but were asked to wait. They were kept waiting until around 2pm when they were called in and informed that Brian had allegedly committed suicide in the cells. Police claim Brian was alone in the cells as other cellmates had been taken to court. The family is crying foul and wants justice arguing that the police story doesn’t add up.

A grade 2 child of 7 years old was defiled and brutally murdered in Kilifi. She was strangled and had broken bones. Kilifi residents must not let this go. Justice for Bernadette Keziah! I hate this country that watches kids suffer defiled and murdered with no repercussions!

Impunity has led to increased M23 horrors in eastern Congo. The #Rwanda-backed rebels now cram civilians—including journalists—into shipping containers with no light, ventilation, minimal food, daily beatings. Atrocities unchecked = atrocities escalated. apnews.com/article/congo-…

The radiotherapy machine at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) has been broken for more than three months. Cancer patients are deteriorating in waiting rooms, missing treatment sessions, and running out of options. While cancer patients wait and deteriorate, the government has been consumed by boardroom battles at Nairobi Hospital, a private facility that most of these patients will never be able to afford. #HealthyNation zurl.co/tO2ab
