Whether it’s high-profile court decisions, crime investigations, or legal controversies, we’re here to give you clear, straightforward info.
What’s interesting is how these stories show the tension between public opinion and proper legal process. For example, take the Kenyan High Court’s recent seizure of Ksh706 million from private jet firms linked to crime proceeds.
