Folks, This is fooling people. The Immigration Officer had no powers of stopping Chief Justistice from travelling unless order were issued from the police side requiring Chief Justice to get clearance from Kimemia. For this I agree with CORD that Kimemia MUST RESIGN. He has ilicitly and unconstitutionally taken powers of Transitioning which does not belong to him. The buck stops with Kimemia if Kenya has to remain peaceful. All good people must demand that Kimemia step down for the sake of Peace and Unity in Kenya. In the absence of the Political system being head of the Government, Chief Justice is Supreme. It is the law. In otherwords, Chief Justice is superior to Kimemia and therefore Kimemia faulted in messing with Chief Justice Mutunga. We demand for urgent clarity and thorough investigations in this matter.

Mama Ngina Kenyatta in court battle over landSHARE THIS STORYUpdated 9 hrs 36 mins ago By PATRICK KIBET Former First Lady Mama Ngina Kenyatta wants a case challenging her ownership of two prime plots in Nakuru Central Business District dismissed by the High Court in Nakuru. Mama Ngina filed an application seeking to dismiss the case brought by a Nakuru businessman Dr Isack Kirubi on grounds that it did not disclose the cause of action against her. She also said Dr Kirubi in his own evidence did not at any time exclusively own the properties subject to the court case. Mama Ngina added that it would be a violation of her rights for the case to proceed to full hearing without the petitioner justifying the reason for suing her. FORCIBLY TAKEN Kirubi had filed a constitutional petition in 2010 alleging infringement of his rights to own property after claiming the prime plot was forcibly taken by Government in 1974. He contended that the then Commissioner of Lands James Aloysius O'Loughlin in May 7, 1974, conspired with the late Jomo Kenyatta to forcibly take the land. Kirubi wants the High Court to declare the acquisition null and void and the land reverted to him. In sworn affidavits before Justice Anyara Emukule, Kirubi said he was at all times the registered allotee of the disputed land in Nakuru. He adds that actions by Mama Ngina in collusion with the Commissioner of Lands were in breach and violation of his rights to protection from deprivation of property as provided by the Constitution. Kirubi also availed documents showing a loan he obtained with the intention of using the money in developing the disputed parcels of land. He claims he was paid the compensation by Government in 1974 through his bank accounts.

Kisumu East District Criminal Investigative Officer Henry Ndombi yesterday said the machines were stolen after employees left the offices at 10pm. "Two desk top computers, two monitors and two Central Processing Units were stolen from the IEBC offices," he said. One of the IEBC officers said when he reported to work in the morning he opened the main office door but was unable to open the door to his office. He looked through the window and saw two desktop computers missing. The officer immediately called the Kisumu Central Returning Officer Peris Maiyo to inform her about the matter. Mr Ndombi said they have launched investigation in to the matter but wondered how a robbery could take place in an office that is fully guarded by Administration Police. "The officers on duty have also recorded statements with the police and are being investigated too," said Ndombi. When contacted by The Standard, IEBC Nyanza Central Regional coordinator Rasi Masudi said the computers do not contain any crucial details. Masudi assured that the theft would not affect voting in the area and urged voters in the region to turn up early on March 4 to exercise their democratic right. "Come out and vote very early so that the exercise is completed in time," he said.
