Sending Kshs 118,500 from Absa to Equity via PesaLink cost me Kshs 20.
The same transfer through M-PESA PayBill would have cost Kshs 108.
One of the best financial habits you can build is learning when not to use M-PESA.
Immediately after the July 29 assassination along Ralph Bunche Road, DCI forensic teams swept the Upper Hill crime scene. They successfully extracted two spent cartridges and one bullet head, forwarding them to the National Forensic Laboratory for instant ballistic profiling. Detectives also seized and locked down the taxi involved for deep forensic examination while pulling CCTV footage from all surrounding office buildings to map the getaways.
The primary breakthrough occurred when surveillance teams tracked the registration and chassis details of the Toyota Prado used by the spotters to block Dr. Mutiso's taxi. DCI data banks revealed that the SUV was not a randomly bought vehicle; it was explicitly identified as one of the vehicles reported missing or stolen during the disputed, hostile February 12 demolition of Dr. Mutiso’s family compound in Mlolongo. This provided immediate, actionable proof connecting the homicide back to the land battle.
Homicide detectives audited records at local police stations and pulled a critical report from the Kilimani Police Station. They confirmed that exactly 24 days prior to her murder, Dr. Mutiso reported surviving a July 7 ambush near Junction Mall, where motorcycle-riding men pointed a gun at her. In that active file, her husband, Prof. David Ndetei, had recorded a formal statement explicitly naming his son, Chris Mulwa, as the armed pillion passenger riding that motorcycle.
Armed with the vehicle nexus and the prior identification, an elite DCI operational team staged a midnight raid at Rose Mulwa's family residence in Karen. During the sweep, detectives seized Over 40 mobile phones, a Mitsubishi Pajero vehicle, and multiple personal electronic devices and computers.
Cybercrime and forensic units are currently auditing these mobile phones to map out call data logs, geographical tracking trails, and financial transactions. Detectives believe these communication trails will link the mother and son directly to the contract hitmen, who are still at large.
Following these findings, Rose Mbithe Mulwa and her son Chris Mulwa were arrested on Thursday, July 30, 2026. The DCI homicide detectives apprehended them at their residence in Karen, Nairobi, during an intelligence-led operation just one day after the shooting of Dr. Victoria Mutiso. The duo was subsequently presented before the Milimani Law Courts the following morning, Friday, July 31, 2026.
In their formal application to hold the suspects for 30 days, investigators argued that keeping the mother and son in custody is necessary to prevent them from warning the shooters, remotely wiping, destroying, or altering call logs, text messages, and digital forensic data. The magistrate ordered them held through the weekend, with a definitive ruling on their 30-day detention set for Monday, August 3, 2026.
Kenya’s Ksh 12.8 Trillion debt trap cannot be ignored.71% of our revenues go directly 2 debt servicing,to pay off loans that Kenyans never saw or approved.ANY loan that BYPASSED Parliament is #odiousdebt.If it didn't benefit the people,the people shouldn't pay it back #DeniBandia
When you loudly proclaim from the hilltop that you want build a better and prosperous Kenya, you don't pick the pieces Ruto discarded and found wanting. When you claim you want start on a clean slate, you don't eat Ruto's leftovers. When you claim your vision will propel Kenya to new height, you don't pick Ruto's rejects. When you claim to stand for principled goverment, you can't wear Ruto's mitumba. When you proudly claim to be the new kid on the block you don't copy Ruto's dance moves and date his X. When you want father kids you don't marry the woman Ruto divorce for stopped giving birth. Your best moves in politics shouldn't be palpably desperate. Linda Mwanachi's sizzle and pizzazz exemplified by Hon Babu Owino and Edward Sifuna met a clumsy reality check when Hon James Orengo took a chartered flight all the way to Malindi to gleefully receive a good lady whose stock had attained junk status in Kenya's political stock exchange.
