IMAGINE YOUR NEIGBOUR RAPING YOUR GIRL?
I have been seeing this slightly aged man (a gateman) at a residence I frequently visit showing up at work looking so disturbed and bothered. He's always isolated and unhappy. I decided to engage him, and here is his sad story:
In 2023, in Kawangware, a Form 3 student is sexually assaulted and raped by a neighbor. The man, let's call him "PETER" for now, who is the victim's father, reported that incident to Muthangari Police Station, where an OB number was issued. A medical examination at Nairobi Women's Hospital confirmed that his daughter had been subjected to sexual activity multiple times and was three months pregnant. Following the examination, the hospital advised the father to return to the police station to facilitate the arrest of the suspect.
Witnesses, including other neighbors, testified that the suspect had been frequently seen with the school-going girl, often after her father had left for his works. On several occasions, the suspect (a man in his 50s) took the daughter out of school for sexual encounters. The crime office at Muthangari Police Station requested the father to bring witnesses to record further statements, which was done.
Now here is where the story is: While the "investigation" was underway, the suspect, a man in his 50s, vacated his house and reportedly fled to Busia.
After fleeing, the suspect's wife, allegedly leveraging a connection to a relative officer at the Muthangari police station, initiated a counter-narrative. She accused the victim's father of breaking into her vacated house and stealing properties. In an attempt to defeat justice, this accusation was the basis of the father's arrest and detention on charges of robbery, effectively turning him from a complainant into a suspect.
The rape suspect's wife apparently claimed that her husband (the suspect) had returned to the rural area, and during his absence, the victim's father, "Mr. Peter," allegedly broke into their house and stole property.
However, evidence suggests that the suspect had vacated the house to evade arrest for the sexual assault charges on the final day he was caught with the girl. This came after he had picked the girl out of school as a neighbor and lied to the school that the child's house was burning and she needed to be there. Unknown to the school the man was taking the girl to his house for sexual encounters. Afterwards, the headmaster called the father to confirm if their house was burning, and, to their shock, no house was burning, and accompanied by the headmaster, they went only to find the suspect with the uniformed girl in his house, and he overwhelmed them to escape.
Despite the apparent fabrication of the robbery charges, the victim's father was charged with robbery and arraigned at Kibera Law Courts, with officers turning blind to his reported case of rape and sexual assault of his daughter. The investigator, reportedly aware of the false nature of the accusations, requested additional time for investigation. The father was held in remand prison for three years, from 2023 until October 2025.
The case hearing was continued, and he was eventually set free after his former employer, a security guard company, intervened and the matter of the child's rape was brought to the attention of the magistrate. During his incarceration, the father of the girl was unlawfully dismissed from his job due to his prolonged absence, a matter that remains unresolved.
Now, during all this period from 2023, the underage victim girl gave birth and was forced to discontinue her high school education in Form 3 around 2023. The sired child is now aged, and the alleged perpetrator of the sexual assault remains at large three years after the initial report. The father, "PETER," is currently out on remand with uncertainty about the robbery case but reportedly faces ongoing threats from officers influenced by the suspect's wife, who is allegedly related to one of the initial investigating officers at Muthangari Police Station.
The prolonged detention of the victim's father on false charges was ORCHESTRATED to help the primary suspect evade justice. The victim girl has never gone back to complete her high school education since the father, a slightly aged man, cannot manage raising the school fees since he's getting very little as a gate man and was in prison wrongfully for 3 years
This man really needs help since he's vulnerable and poor ; justice seems to be running away from him. He's defeated but justice can never be defeated.
I wish to bring this matter to the attention of @DCI_Kenya , @NPSOfficial_KE , and the Ministry of Interior (through @kipmurkomen) to intervene and ensure that justice is served for Mr. "Peter" and his daughter. The officers at Muthangari Police Station, particularly those in the crime office, should be held accountable for their alleged complicity in denying justice to a raped and impregnated teenager by wrongfully incarcerating her father.
I have withheld a lot of information due to the nature of the case. In my interaction with the man, he looked helpless and defeated, and my conversation with him ignited some hope that justice can be found. I assured him that justice will be served. Lawyers and human rights groups willing to take on the matter can reach out for details.
President Donald Trump said a memorandum leading to a peace agreement with Iran has been “largely negotiated” and would be announced soon.

The UK again condemns Israeli settlements while it:

❌keeps military accord w/Israel
❌keeps trade & partnership accord

Las imágenes del ministro israelí Ben Gvir humillando a los miembros de la flotilla internacional en apoyo a Gaza son inaceptables.
No vamos a tolerar que nadie maltrate a nuestros ciudadanos. En septiembre anuncié la prohibición de acceso al territorio nacional de este miembro del gobierno israelí. Ahora vamos a impulsar en Bruselas que estas sanciones se eleven a escala europea de manera urgente.
78 years ago, 800,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes. Britain made it possible.
Today, Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Britain made it possible.
78 years of the Nakba - and 78 years of British complicity in crimes against the Palestinian people.
This is Nairobi National Park.
The only national park in any capital city in the world. Home to lions, leopards, rhinos, and hundreds of species. A living ecosystem that belongs to every Kenyan.
And right now, construction is tearing through it.
77 acres approved for development. A car park for 1,300 vehicles. A fence that the EIA describes as both 700 metres and 10 kilometres. A project cost that changes from KES 57 million to KES 315 million depending on which page you read.
The park's own Management Plan prohibits development in this zone. NEMA approved it anyway.
Once this habitat is gone, it cannot be restored.
FoNNaP has filed a petition in the Senate and a case in the High Court. But we need the public to know what is happening.
Watch this. Share it. Ask questions.
Tag @kws_kenya @nema_kenya and demand transparency.
