JSC Responds to Daily Nation’s Controversial Article on 10 Judges
The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has taken a swipe at Nation Media Group (NMG) over a controversial article published on Monday, November 25, titled, “Why 10 Judges face ouster over Ksh. According to the Commission, the petition referenced another suit filed in court 32 years ago, in 1992. The petition filed before the court last month implicates ten judges involved in the hearing and determination of a Ksh30 billion land case between a state-owned organisation and a Kenyan family. In its view, JSC termed the article a "sensationalised and one-sided story that was based solely on the petitioner's claims," thus unfairly exposing the judges in question to reputational damage. JSC further noted that the article speculates on potential outcomes, including the implications of the removal of the said judges, yet the matter is yet to be heard or determined by the Commission.

Indonesia rejects Apple's US$100 million investment offer
JAKARTA: Indonesia has rejected an Apple $100 million investment proposal aimed at lifting a ban on iPhone 16 sales, saying it lacks the "fairness" required by the government. Following the ban, Apple offered to increase its investments in Indonesia by $100 million to allow the new phone to be sold domestically. "Currently, Apple still has not invested in production facilities or factories in Indonesia," he said in a statement released late Monday. Despite the sales ban, the Indonesian government still allows iPhone 16 to be carried into Indonesia if they are not being traded commercially. Indonesia also banned the sale of Google Pixel phones for failing to meet the 40 percent parts requirement.

Suspected traffickers arrested with Sh15m ivory in lodging
Elephant tusksTwo suspected traffickers were arrested and elephant tusks weighing 15.7 kilogrammes recovered from them in a lodging they had booked in Kapenguria, West Pokot County. The cargo was sealed in a black bag, police and Kenya Wildlife Service officials said of the November 24 incident. Elephant tusks fetch a fortune in the black market as a surge in demand for ivory in the East continues to fuel the illicit trade in elephant tusks, especially from Africa. Officials say despite a ban on the international trade in ivory, African elephants are still being poached in large numbers. On April 30, 2016, Kenya set ablaze 105 tonnes of elephant ivory and 1.35 tonnes of rhino horn.

Additionally, the Legislator referenced the Nairobi Expressway which initially faced opposition from Kenyans who are currently enjoying its services.

How church is becoming new thorn in Kenya Kwanza flesh
Just two years ago, when it was ascending to power, Kenya Kwanza benefited from support of religious groups, including the Catholic Church. This has, however, changed with the faith-based organisations, led by Catholic bishops, launching sustained and coordinated attacks against the government. The Catholic, Anglican Church of Kenya, Akorino, Presbyterian, National Council of Churches of Kenya and Evangelical Formations of Kenya recently took the lead in pointing out ills in Ruto’s administration. Taking the cue, Anglican Church of Kenya also voiced support for the Catholic bishops. Calling church leaders names or dismissing the bishops’ statement as misleading, erroneous and false, is itself dishonest,” Jackson Ole Sapit said.

Holding demos is a constitutional right, not State privilege
The Bill of Rights guarantees the right to peaceful assembly in protest. However, despite these guarantees, laws regarding the right to protest undermine the human rights enshrined in the Constitution and go against Kenya’s international human rights duties, including the Public Order Act and the Penal Code. The right to protest is guaranteed under Article 37 of our Constitution. Regrettably, 12 years after the promulgation of the Bill of Rights, it is disappointing that the right is still treated as a privilege. The government should never silence its critics because the right to protest is not a government privilege but it is a basic Kenyan right.
