Liz the girl raped by six men is recovering although so far she has not gotten justice. Am advocating for the world to come together and make sure that the Kenyan government give her justice investigations have been done into her case  and the public prosecutor Mr Tobiko is yet to set away forward.its hurting to know that when the police were informed on the case the best they did was arrest the guys,made them slash the the glass then set them free,when the case went public the perpetrator went into hiding and up to know they have not been caught.

The Nation Media formed a campaign towards here medical expenses and they   footed her hospital bill and made sure she got medical attention,she  missed out on school she was traumatized the best thing was to give her justice not because it took her pain away but she will heal much better knowing that her attacker are in jail,i wonder if justice was ever given to her

I think that girls should be decent and some cloths they wear are indecent but i have a score to settle with some men.They are the first to criticize this yet they are also the first to go to brothels where girls are naked which means they say one thing and do the opposite they should learn to walk the talk some leave their decent wives at home to get that girl in a micro mini if they hate it so much they should stick to their wives.Look at men nowadays those tight trousers pencils leave your front side exposed some can see the size of your manhood,the lip bums,the plaited hair,the color you wonder who the woman is.Some one asked me who said cosmetic is for women?My question is,who decided mini skirts are indecent?

HAWKING IN NAIROBI Hawking has been a major problem in this city. We tend to see how the hawkers struggle with the city council police in the streets. Where is the government when all this is happening? The hawkers pay taxes but the city councils are not satisfied with what they are given because they are too greedy for that. The government should come up with small stalls also known as “vibandas” to cater for the hawkers. Most of the hawkers as we all know are from humble backgrounds and they have to cater for their families, pay school fees, pay rent and cater for food. Als... more »

A new law will also see tougher penalties, including longer jail terms and larger fines, imposed on offenders in an attempt to curb the rising number of well-armed criminal gangs who kill elephants for tusks and rhinos for horns.

“We will start piloting the use of drones in the Tsavo National Park eco system, one of the largest national parks in the world,” said Patrick Omondi, deputy director for wildlife conservation at the Kenya Wildlife Service.

Omondi added that the surveillance aircraft would be imported, but did not give details of how many or at what cost.

Tsavo National Park in the southeast is Kenya’s largest, with sweeping plains and occasional water holes dotted with wildlife, including elephants.

Conservationists hope the new law will deter criminal networks since Kenya has emerged as a major transit route for ivory destined for Asian markets from eastern and central Africa.

The government says poaching is also harming tourism, a major foreign exchange earner.

“We attribute the problem of poaching in Kenya and other African states to growing demand and high prices offered for rhino horn and elephant ivory in the Far East countries,” William Kiprono, Kenya Wildlife Service’s acting Director General told a news conference in Nairobi.

18 rhinos and 51 elephants had been killed by poachers in Kenya so far this year, said Kiprono.

Last year, 59 rhinos and 302 elephants were killed, compared with 30 rhinos and 384 elephants in 2012.

Kenyan officers seized 13.5 tonnes of ivory at the port city of Mombasa last year, mostly originating from other countries in the region. At least 249 suspects have so far been arrested this year and prosecuted for various wildlife offences.

In January, a Kenyan court convicted a Chinese man of smuggling ivory and ordered him to pay a 20-million-shillings ($233,000) fine or serve seven years in jail in the first sentence handed out since Kenya introduced a new anti-poaching law.

The scheme comes amid work by the Space for Giants charity, which received over £450,000 in donations from Independent readers followings its 2013 Elephant Campaign. The money is being spent on projects in the field by the charity.
