US Ebola quarantine facility: Satellite image shows tents erected and vehicles at a new field hospital within Laikipia Air Base on June 4, 2026.

This morning, on behalf of 12 #Sudanese victims, we filed a criminal complaint in #Kenya against #RSF for war crimes. Survivors endured detention, torture, rape & killings. A first ever under universal jurisdiction in 🇰🇪. Press release.👇 legalactionworldwide.org/gen…

#PressStatement By 4 pm today, police deployed in Nanyuki shot and killed one protester. Locals hit the streets demanding transparency about the US-backed Ebola facility and solid guarantees for the protection of the public health. That brings the death toll linked to this facility and due to police fire to three. Last week, police extrajudicially killed two protesters. An autopsy showed one was shot straight in the chest, a single bullet causing massive bleeding. Today, police shot the third victim in the head. No accident there. Police act with open impunity, following orders from their command and the regime that has made it clear that our lives mean nothing to them. IPOA must move fast. The officers responsible must be held criminally liable for these killings. So should their command. No cover-ups.

RT @LibyaLiberty: The U.S. World Cup in one horrible photo:

JUST IN: Reporter Catherine Herridge testifies that CBS News locked her out of the building and seized all her files, says she was working with sources to "expose government corruption." Nothing at all going on here, folks. "CBS News’ decision to seize my reporting records crossed a red line that I believe should never be crossed by any media organization." "Multiple sources said they were concerned that by working with me to expose government corruption and misconduct they would be identified and exposed." "CBS News locked me out of the building and seized hundreds of pages of my reporting files, including confidential source information." FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING.

Disturbing scenes from Laikipia. The arrests of individuals protesting the proposed Ebola treatment facility are troubling. Whether one agrees with the protest or not, the right to peaceful assembly and expression is protected by the Constitution.

Live scenes from Nanyuki, Laikipia County. Kenyans are saying NO to bioterrorism, bioweapons and U.S sponsored PSYOPS.

In this short documentary produced by VOCAL Africa, “FuelFuryFunerals”, the aftermath of the May 2026 protests against the hiked fuel prices is explored. What began as frustration over rising fuel prices quickly grew into a nationwide outcry over the soaring cost of living. Across towns and cities, Kenyans took to the streets demanding relief, accountability and a government response to the economic pressures facing ordinary families. But for some families, the protests did not end when the crowds dispersed. Instead of returning home, they found themselves in hospitals, mortuaries and funeral homes. Parents buried sons. Children lost fathers. Families were left searching for answers about how demonstrations over economic hardship ended in injury, loss and death. youtu.be/T76p81VR4dI?si=aqUq…

Massive solidarity to the people in Laikipia fighting necolonialism right now. The people have rejected the quarantine facilities. Kenyan police are enemies of the people. #RutoMustGo

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali. The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful. bbc.co.uk/sport/football/art…

Yesterday's High Court judgment on the impeachment of H.E. Rigathi Gachagua raises serious and legitimate questions that our constitutional jurisprudence must grapple with honestly. The three-judge bench found that the Senate violated the former Deputy President's right to a fair hearing under Article 50 of the Constitution specifically by declining to grant an adjournment when he was unable to attend the proceedings. The court acknowledged that violation, issued a declaratory order and awarded Ksh.50 million in constitutional damages. Yet the bench ultimately upheld the impeachment itself. I respect the court and the constitutional role it plays. But I believe this outcome calls for serious reflection on the coherence of our remedial framework. The tension in the judgment lies in this, if the Senate's refusal to adjourn was a constitutional infirmity serious enough to warrant a finding of violation and a Ksh.50 million award, then the question that naturally follows is whether that infirmity was capable of tainting the entire removal process. The right to a fair hearing is not procedural decoration. It is a substantive constitutional guarantee, particularly in proceedings that result in the removal of a person from high public office. Courts must therefore grapple carefully with what it means to vindicate a right while simultaneously affirming the outcome that flowed from its violation. It is a difficult balance and I appreciate that the bench was navigating complicated constitutional terrain. It is instructive to recall the reasoning of the Supreme Court in the landmark 2017 presidential election petition delivered by the then Chief Justice David Maraga. The court, in a 4-2 majority, nullified the presidential election not on the basis that the outcome was necessarily wrong but on the basis that the process through which it was arrived at did not conform to the Constitution and the law. The court found that irregularities and illegalities in the transmission of results had compromised the integrity of the election and that the constitutional standard required more than a plausible result, it required a process that was itself constitutionally compliant. That principle that a flawed process cannot produce a constitutionally valid outcome remains a pillar of our public law. When we place that 2017 reasoning alongside yesterday's judgment, a legitimate concern emerges. Both cases involved constitutional violations in the course of a high-stakes removal or electoral process. In 2017, the violation of constitutional standards was sufficient to nullify the result entirely. Yesterday, a violation of the right to a fair hearing was found, remedied in damages but the result was preserved. These are not necessarily irreconcilable positions, courts do have discretion in fashioning remedies but the distinction must be clearly reasoned and transparently justified because the precedent being set will govern how future impeachments are conducted and how future courts respond to violations within those processes. My concern is about the precedent this decision may establish. If a constitutional violation during impeachment proceedings can be remedied by damages without disturbing the outcome, future Parliaments and Senates may not feel the full weight of their constitutional obligations when handling removal proceedings. The court itself noted the urgent need for Parliament to enact a dedicated statutory framework under Article 150 governing the removal of a Deputy President which is a legislative gap that should never have existed this long. That recommendation must not be ignored. A constitutional democracy is built on the integrity of its processes not merely its outcomes. We must ensure that the right to a fair hearing in Kenya remains substantive and not merely symbolic.

The Law Society of Kenya strongly condemns the shocking arrest of Chief Justice Emeritus @dkmaraga and environmental activists protesting the irregular allocation of 76 acres of Nairobi National Park. Bundling a retired head of our Judiciary into a police vehicle for peacefully opposing a Sh42 Billion project, reportedly pushed through without public participation, is a direct assault on the civic space guaranteed under Article 37 of the Constitution. National heritage sites are not state property to barter behind closed doors. The LSK will not stand by while police force is weaponized against constitutional defenders. We have immediately dispatched an LSK legal team to Lang’ata Police Station to secure the unconditional release of the activists, and I commend the CJ Emeritus for refusing to leave custody until all those arrested with him are freed. We demand an immediate end to the harassment of civic actors and a transparent public audit of the Bomas expansion plan. The @LawSocietyofKe remains firmly on the frontlines to protect our laws and our land.

🔴 Énorme DINGUERIE encore des États-Unis... L'arbitre somalien Omar Artan 🇸🇴 s'est vu refuser son entrée aux États-Unis, alors qu'il est sensé officier pendant la Coupe du Monde ! 🙄 Malgré l'aide appuyée de l'ambassade somalienne de Nairobi, qui lui a fourni un PASSEPORT DIPLOMATIQUE, M. Artan a dû faire demi tour à son arrivée aux USA. On parle d'une personne qui a été élue MEILLEUR ARBITRE AFRICAIN EN 2025 ! 🤦‍♂️ (@Romain_Molina)

Instead of using the data to improve service and to guide policy, they want to sell it

Sections of Uhuru Park will be hived off to "expand Uhuru Highway". Parts of Karura Forest will be hived off "to plant tree seedlings and build rangers' accommodation units". Parts of Nairobi National Park will be hived off "to construct parking yards for the new Bomas International Convention Centre". Sections of Ngong Forest are being cut down for "the construction of the Ngong-Riruta rail line and an international resort and casino". Practically every green and gazetted area within the Nairobi Metropolitan area is being targeted. And this is place where scrutiny is highest. Can you imagine what is happening in gazetted areas in the Rift Valley. When pastoralists are in power, every green space is either pasture for "wega ngombe wagule yiote" or merely something to degazette, cut down and build some ugly concrete structure. Scarcity mentality at birth.

Maraga has refused to leave police custody until all those arrested with him are released.

#NairobiNationalPark is not a parking lot. Today, we stood against plans to excise 90 acres of protected park land for a 1,300-car parking facility. Nine unarmed activists were arrested during the peaceful protest. Protect nature. Defend civic space. #NationalParkNotCarPark
