Maafisa wa Kaunti ya Nairobi wamethbitisha kuwa nyumba hiyo ilikuwa imeorodheshwa miongoni mwa majumba yaliotarajiwa kuvunjwa kwa kuwa haikuafikia viwango vya nyumba ya kuishi watu wengi.

Juhudi za uokoaji zinaendelea lakini zimetatizwa na mvua kubwa inayoendelea mbali na uwezo wa kufikia eneo hilo.
Jeshi la Kenya linaloongoza juhudi hizo za uokozi limelazimika kutumia mikono na misumeno ya kielektroniki kuchimba chini ya vifusi kwa kuwa vifaa vinavyohitajika katika zoezi hilo haviwezi kuingia katika eneo hilo.

African Presidents Pledge to Stop Elephant Poachers

 
NANYUKI, KENYA—
More than 200 people, including three African presidents, attended the opening of a three-day summit Friday near Mount Kenya, where activists and officials have gathered to discuss the future of Africa’s elephants and their habitats.
Poaching has escalated to alarming heights in recent years, as 100,000 African elephants were killed between 2010 and 2012 alone. Tens of thousands continue to be poached every year across the continent.

The goal of the event is to find ways to stop the slaughter of Africa’s elephants, protecting at least 50 percent of these animals and their landscapes by 2020.

And to do so, conservationists say that government leaders must flex their political muscle in support of the cause.

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta gave the opening address, urging Africans to understand that elephants are a part of their heritage.
“The protection of giants therefore requires the combined wisdom of our elders, as well as the hope of our youth,” said Kenyatta. “We have not abandoned our legacy and will not abandon our legacy to the whims of the market, but rather, today we begin taking bold steps, indeed giant steps, which...will merit the praise of our ancestors and which will inspire our own youth to recognize the intrinsic value of our national heritage.”

Kenyatta’s attendance, along with that of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni and Gabonese President Ali Bongo Ondimba, makes the event the highest level summit of its kind.
These leaders, along with Botswana's President Ian Khama, elephant protection charity Space for Giants, and publishing magnate Evgeny Lebedev, founded the Giants Club to unite in the protection of the African elephant.
Panelists Friday covered issues like the importance of properly training and motivating wildlife rangers, building a strong judiciary, and getting communities on board with conservation efforts.

He said the information shows the police force has been related to the misuse of state money that increases the size of the problems hindering its function.

In addition, raised doubts houses the agreements signed between police and investors saying some things that impose harsh conditions of operation for the army.
"I have said I must speak clearly, clearly I do not say I feel bad if I finish this meeting, I want to know that and understand facts direction (way) I desired of me."
About the Prosecutor's Office, said he was very disappointed by the actions of government failure in many cases to court despite having competent lawyers.
"For me to lawyers and the police are responsible for investigating a priority to the interests of the country before, because there had been saying for some detectives and a few lawyers, I say a few, there is a case relating to money money, they have their slogans say a deal has been secured," he said.
"And at other cases have tabled before the court-collude (the conspiracy) state attorneys and advocates who defended breaker, and when-collude (eat plot included) government always fails."

S. African Court to Review Zuma Corruption Ruling

S. African Court to Review Zuma Corruption Ruling

A judge in South Africa on Friday said a 2009 court decision to drop nearly 800 corruption charges against President Jacob Zuma was “irrational” and called for the case to be re-examined.

"The decision... to discontinue the charges against Mr. Zuma is irrational and should be reviewed," Pretoria High Court judge Aubrey Ledwaba said. "Mr. Zuma should face the charges as applied."

The court initially made the decision to drop the charges based on phone intercepts presented by Zuma’s defense team. They said the charges in late 2007 may have been part of a political plot against Zuma, and the court’s decision not to pursue the charges allowed Zuma to run for president.

The court decision Friday is likely to increase calls for Zuma’s resignation — some even from within his ruling African National Congress party — which started last month following a separate court ruling against the embattled leader.

JUBA

South Sudan rebel leader Riek Machar returned Tuesday to the capital after fleeing two-and-a-half years ago as civil war broke out. Now back in Juba, he was sworn in as the country's top vice president under President Salva Kiir.

Machar’s and Kiir's forces have waged a brutal war against each other since December 2013, a few months after the president fired Machar as his deputy. Tens of thousands of people have been killed and some 2.3 million have fled their homes.

The two men signed a peace deal last year, but implementation has been slow with fighting continuing in some areas. Machar's return raises hopes that the deal can take effect, and the conflict-torn nation can move toward peace.
