Laikipia rancher Gilfred Powys was Wednesday trampled to death by an elephant in news that has shocked residents and ranchers in the region. The owner of Suyian ranch in Laikipia North was patrolling the ranch when he was attacked by the animal. According to workers at the ranch, he was going through normal patrols at around 2pm when the animal attacked him. They said that they heard a commotion in one of the bushes and when they went to check what was happening is when they found the rancher lying dead. A herd of elephants was grazing nearby. “He was going through his normal patrols and we suspect that was when he was attacked. We heard the elephants charge and that was what prompted us to visit the scene. We were shocked to find that he had already been killed” said Joseph Eleman. He noted that they called other workers and informed the police.

Laura Plummer, 33, a shop worker from Hull, was arrested as she entered the country carrying 320 tramadol tablets in her suitcase. Her family said they were for her Egyptian partner, Omar Caboo, who suffers from severe back pain and claimed Ms Plummer, who they describe as "daft", had no idea what she was doing was illegal.

Kenya loses an average of 3,000 lives through road accidents annually, placing it among countries with the highest road carnage globally. As a result, the government, through various players, has tried to put mechanisms in place to reduce these incidents. This started in 2014 with the introduction and publication of the Legal Notice No. 23 in the Kenya Gazette which outlines guidelines on management of public service vehicles. The legal notice spells guidelines for night travel, a requirement that PSVs form saccos, and for long- distance trucks to be fitted with a fleet management systems. It also states that PSV operators employ staff on contract and bold display the names of the Saccos or companies which their vehicles are registered. These measures were aimed at making the PSV operators can take full control of their businesses, a move that NTSA said will instil discipline in the sector. However, the recent happenings where dozens of people have been killed and scores

JAMES Watson, mwanasayansi maarufu sana duniani na mshindi wa nishani ya Nobel katika tiba mwaka 1962, ameleta mjadala mkubwa baada ya kudai kwamba mtu mweusi ana akili ndogo kuliko mtu mweupe. Kauli yake hiyo imeshikiwa bango na wapinzani wa ubaguzi wa rangi kwa kuwa inamdhalilisha mtu mweusi. Huyu si mtu wa kwanza kusema hivyo, tofauti ni kwamba yeye ameisemea kisayansi zaidi. Siku za nyuma waziri mkuu mmoja wa Japan alipata kusema maneno kama hayo kwamba anatilia shaka uwezo wa mtu mweusi. Waziri mwingine wa Japan na yeye alishanukuliwa kusema hivyo hivyo. Wote baadaye waliomba radhi lakini ujumbe ulifika. Chika Onyeani katika kitabu chake cha Capitalist Nigger naye anashangaa ni kwa nini Mwafrika atukanwe namna hiyo na mawaziri wa Japan lakini bado waendelee kununua bidhaa toka Japan. Anaelezea pia kwamba jamii yote ya watu weusi inafanana kwa kiasi kikubwa. Kwa mfano ukikutana na Mmarekani mweusi aliyezaliwa na kukulia Marekani au Carribean au Afrika kwenyewe, bado wana tabia zile
