Reprieve for top executive in fraud probe with aviation firm
Top executive Joshua Oigara on Wednesday got temporary relief after the High Court blocked the Director of Public Prosecutions from prosecuting him in relation to a Sh700 million dispute with an aviation firm. Justice Bahati Mwamuye also issued an order blocking the attendance of Oigara at DCI's banking fraud investigations unit for statement recording over the dispute. The Judge issued the orders after advocate Hirum Nyaburi told the court that officers from the banking fraud unit were at his client's premises seeking to arrest him. According to the documents filed in court, the DCI, through its banking fraud department, had summoned Oigara for statement recording into an alleged offence of fraudulent false accounting. The Airline subsequently filed a case against the bank, which is currently pending determination before Justice Nixon Sifuna.

William Ruto's State of the Nation address should be honest and reflective
[Stafford Ondego, Standard]As President William Ruto presents his second State of the Nation address to Parliament and the people, today it is exactly 800 days since he was sworn into office. That’s a “bottom-up” view of the economic state of the nation. It is, instead, an accountability statement to Article 1 Kenyans on the state of our Article 10 national values and principles, international obligations under Article 2 (5) and national security under Article 240. This brings us to our favoured human security as a national security angle. However, the point to repeat is it is less about the address content – progress, status, trajectory – and more about its tenor.

Does it really matter that Coca-Cola’s AI Christmas ad isn’t ‘the real thing’?
Not all ad campaigns are created equallyIt’s undoubtedly a bold move, but here’s the thing.

Counties to get Sh387 billion after intense talks
The mediation committee of the National Assembly and the Senate agreed on the figures after days of intense discussions. "The figure we have agreed upon is Sh387 billion as mediated allocation to the counties," Mandera senator Ali Roba said. While the Senate demanded Sh400.1 billion, the National Assembly had insisted on Sh380 billion, triggering a standoff that threatened to paralyse operations in counties. Treasury had earlier dismissed calls for an additional Sh20 billion for counties, with Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi urging governors to accept the Sh380 billion proposed by the National Assembly. Raila highlighted that the Sh380 billion proposed falls short of the legal requirement, which mandates counties receive at least 15 per cent of national government revenue.

5 Sodas To Try In A Float Instead Of Root Beer
No matter the season, there's always a reason to have an ice cream float. Root beer and vanilla ice cream are the standard go-to combo for this rich, frothy dessert drink, with the soda's distinctive bite complementing the floral notes of the vanilla beautifully. With the wide variety of soda flavors available in stores today, you might play with citrusy flavors and opt for an orange or lemon-lime-based soda instead of the herbal notes of root beer. Strawberry or cherry-flavored sodas provide another fruity take on the ice cream float. For an experience that highlights vanilla rather than a root-beery bite or a fruity tang, try a cream soda float.

Police Deny Notice Stopping Thursday Protests
The National Police Service (NPS) on Wednesday, November 20, denied a notice circulating on social media purporting to show that the police will not allow any protests in Nairobi on Thursday. “We wish to caution the general public that the document circulating on social media, claiming to be from NPS, is malicious and fake. The document in question was a notice in response to a notice indicating police had not issued any permits for protests, which, according to posts online, are slated to happen on Thursday, November 21, around Parliament.

Britain's cheapest flat hits market for less than a can of Diet Coke - but there's a few expensive catches
Britain's cheapest flat has hit the market for less than the price of a Diet Coke, but beware of a few expensive catches. Located in Birmingham, the one bedroom, one bathroom flat appears like the ultimate bargain from the outside. The flat, which is currently vacant, is on the third floor of a rather impressive building and could be yours for just £1. The cheap as chips house might be the cheapest flat in the capital - costing less than the average price of a deposit for a home. The flat has a 60-year lease that began on 12 November 1964 - meaning there is just over a month before the lease expires.
