Court deals blow to Zenka Digital Limited, rejecting its bid to recover Sh152,000 from Benson Njeru over a Sh76,000 digital loan.
The court found the lender's 438% annual interest and 1.5% daily default charge were punitive.
The court says Zenka may recover the principal, limited interest, and court costs, but not the excessive charges.

Congratulations, Hon. Sammy Douglas Kamau Waweru, on your historic election as the Member of Parliament for OlKalou Constituency.
You have won by a resounding margin, reflecting the unmistakable voice of the people.
We thank the Almighty God for this great victory.
To the great people of OlKalou, thank you for giving our party, DCP, its first Member of the National Assembly.
Thank you, my great people, for refusing to sell your birthright and for being wise enough not to fall for the deception of development projects.
Thank you a million times for guarding your vote and for standing firm despite the actions of rogue police officers armed with guns and tear gas.
Once again, I am grateful to the people of Olkalou for accepting to add me an extra solider to join the great army that I lead in Defence of Kenyans. I have been strugglling with 18 soilders but with great results; now I have 19, things will be much better.
On behalf of our community and the people of Kenya, kindly accept my heartfelt appreciation for restoring the dignity of our community and our nation.
I feel proud and elated to be the leader of such patriotic people who remain loyal to their rights and dignity.
I salute our campaign leaders, Hon. John Methu Gitungati and Hon. Wanjiku Muhia Ngatha, for their outstanding leadership and guidance throughout the three-month campaign. I was deeply impressed by the way you organized and led us.
To our allied Senators, Members of the National Assembly, MCAs, campaign teams, aspirants, volunteers, our staff, thank you for your unwavering commitment and sacrifice.
Tomorrow morning, I will visit all the five wards to personally thank the people of OlKalou.
I have been so directed by the community.
Hon. Kamau, please go and serve your people diligently, and represent them well.
God bless OlKalou, and God bless Kenya!
A government that cannot command the confidence of its people soon resorts to commanding their fear.
My admiration to the people of Ol Kalou for standing their ground peacefully in defence of democracy, and to the journalists who continued to bear witness despite intimidation and assault.
Truth has always found its way through courage.
Congratulations Sammy Douglas Waweru Kamau on your imminent victory in the by-election held today for the MP seat for Ol Kalou constituency.
Unite the residents and serve them all without distinction.
Congratulations Samuel Muchina our UDA Party candidate for a good show and a mature, issue-based campaign devoid of insults.
You may not have succeeded today, but your star shines bright into the future.
On this Saba Saba we celebrate all those who paid the price in the struggle for democracy and an end to human rights abuses and political repression. It’s sad that 36 years later, the monster still has a pulse. We lost Vincent Osiemo following acts of political violence in Keumbu on Friday, a needless death resulting from intolerance and goonism. On behalf of the @LindaMwananchi_ team, we will stand with his family and continue to demand justice and accountability for all those involved. Pole sana to his family.
Safaricom has already been sold, in a rushed transaction concluded while a constitutional petition still awaits determination before the High Court.
The National Treasury proceeded to dispose of the Government’s 15% stake to Vodacom almost immediately after the lifting of conservatory orders, despite the matter having been fully heard and a ruling expected within weeks. This transaction has therefore been concluded under a cloud of unresolved constitutional questions.
The Court of Appeal did not pronounce itself on the legality of the sale, the adequacy of public participation, or the fairness of the valuation. Yet, before the High Court could determine these substantive issues, the asset at the centre of the dispute was transferred.
This raises serious concerns about respect for due process, public accountability, and the protection of national assets. Safaricom remains a strategic pillar of Kenya’s digital economy, and the circumstances surrounding this sale continue to raise fundamental questions that remain before the courts.

SUSPECT BEHIND VIRAL INFLAMMATORY POSTS ARRESTED IN MOMBASA
Detectives have apprehended David Onyango Elgon, aka MC Adek Tatu, the mastermind behind insensitive and inflammatory social media posts that have sparked widespread public outcry.
The offensive content, which was published on the suspect's Facebook account (MC Adek Tatu), has since gone viral across various social media platforms, threatening public order and peace.
Acting swiftly on actionable intelligence, a team of detectives launched a manhunt, trailing the suspect to his hideout at Queen’s Court in Utange, Mombasa County, where he was arrested in his residential house.
The suspect is currently in custody, undergoing processing ahead of his arraignment.
The DCI reminds all netizens that the digital space is not a lawless jungle. While we enjoy the freedom of expression, publishing or distributing inflammatory posts that incite public outcry and divide us as a nation is a crime. We urge the public to use social media platforms responsibly.

This afternoon, I met with my brothers Rigathi Gachagua, Fred Matiang’i, and Eugene Wamalwa.
Our discussion centred on the state of the nation, particularly the delay in capitation even as schools reopen, and the rising insecurity across several counties where lives continue to be lost with no meaningful government action.
Kenyans deserve a government that works, one that prioritises education, protects its people, and responds with urgency, not silence.
We want to assure every Kenyan that these concerns are being raised, and we will continue to push for accountability, real action, and lasting solutions.
You ordered the raid on my house to harm me! I beat you at your own game and escaped. To cover up the shame, you claimed no one was looking for me. Here you are now, seized by fear and panic and confirming your wicked plot against me. Anyway, I will resurface when I decide. Then you and your father can do whatever you want to me. But make no mistake - YOU WILL NEVER ESCAPE THE INEVITABLE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ATROCITIES AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF UGANDA. THIS IS OUR COUNTRY!
The Kibra MP’s driver George Oduor fined Ksh100,000 after pleading guilty to obstruction and dangerous overtaking.
Did he do that without permission from his boss Peter Orero who was next to him? The MP was the first to dare me to take it to Ruto, not the driver
In 10 years, Uhuru grew the economy by 8 Trillion. In 3 years, Ruto has grown it by 4 Trillion (IMF). Simple MATH: Ruto has done HALF of what Uhuru did in 10 years. By 2032 the Ruto economy will be 25 Trillion. FACT. But WHY are we NOT feeling it? Watch!
