"title": "Cattle rustling victims allege foul play in restocking exercise",
"body": "Victims of cattle rustling in Meru's Igembe North Constituency have faulted the criteria used by the national government officials in the restocking process.\n\nAs the officials set on distributing about 600 heads of cattle to victims, they alleged bias after some were left, as they questioned the credibility of the exercise.\n\nMururu Kobia and Elizabeth Kaario were two of many victims who lost different amounts of cattle to raiders suspected to be from neighbouring counties, and had hoped he would be among the beneficiaries, but was disappointed when he wasn't.\n\n\"My son was killed by the cattle thieves who took away all my livestock. Yet I have not been among the beneficiaries of the restocking,\" said Ms Kaario as she questioned the involvement of politicians in the restocking exercise.\n\nKaario alleged that the area was in campaign mode and asked that all elected leaders should be left out of the restocking process.\n\nShe said the exercise should be wholly be done by chiefs, assistant county commissioners and other administrators, as she suspected politicians would favour their supporters in the restocking exercise.\n\n\"It is not clear to me and other victims why national government administration officers are not involved yet they are the ones who know the genuine herders,\" Kaario lamented.\n\nZakayo Muliuki, a resident of Kamweline who suffered a life-changing injury in a past cattle raid, is another who claimed the exercise had been hijacked by politicians who want to take advantage of the restocking to win votes.\n\nHe said on top of losing his herd, his brother was also killed in 2023, and he was expecting the restocking to enable him rebuild his life.\n\n\"All our cattle and goats were stolen in a series of attacks. I have not benefited from the restocking exercise, so I am appealing to the national government to ensure only deserving livestock owners' benefit,\" Mr Muliuki said.\n\nIt is not clear to us how the beneficiaries are identified, and we smell foul play, he alleged.\n\nThe distribution exercise threatened to get out of control as some people attempted to forcibly take some livestock.\n\nSpeaking at Mea Primary School on the second day of the exercise, Igembe North police boss Jerald Marando said the exercise was largely peaceful, save for isolated incidents where some attempted to forcefully get livestock.\n\nMr Marando said 175 cows were given away on the first day, in the exercise targeting livestock stolen between 2023 and 2026.\n\nHe urged victims who are yet to get the livestock to exercise patience, because more livestock were expected.\n\nIgembe North MP Julius Taitumu said he lobbied for the people to get the livestock. \"All those who have been given the restocking stock were affected,\" he said.\n\nAnd Igembe North constituency manager Ronald Mugambi said the names of beneficiaries were processed last year through Police Occurrence Book (OB) reports.\n\n\"Last year we asked all herders who lost their cattle to give us their OB reports. The reports showed that more than 6,000 cattle and 4,000 goats had been stolen between 2023 and 2025,\" Mr Mugambi said.\n\nHe claimed some people were incited by local politicians and ignored the call to present their OB reports.\n\nThe OB reports were presented to the State Department of Livestock Development, which in turn allocated 600 cattle.\n\n\"Since the number of cattle is too small, we decided to give the beneficiaries based on the verified number of stolen animals. We are giving heifers so that the herders can also benefit from multiplication. The process is very fair and transparent,\" he said.\n\nBut residents like Patrick Njenga who in 2023 lost his cows, are adamant that only the police and administrators should carry out the programme, as politicians might favour some areas where they have more supporters. \"We have not been compensated. A lot of the cows under the programme were taken to Igembe North sub-county, but Mutuati sub-county was left out,\" he alleged.",

"body": "Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga has welcomed the High Court's decision convicting former Migori Governor Okoth Obado and his co-accused, Michael Oyamo and Caspal Obiero, in the murder of university student Sharon Otieno.\n\nIn a statement, Wanga commended the High Court for what she described as the integrity, transparency and efficiency demonstrated in handling the case, which has spanned nearly eight years.\n\n\"The High Court has delivered its verdict on the long-running murder case of Ms. Sharon Otieno, bringing an end to one of Kenya's most high-profile criminal trials,\" Wanga said.\n\nObado, his former personal assistant Oyamo, and former Migori County clerk Obiero were found guilty of the murder of Sharon and her unborn child in a judgment delivered on Thursday, July 23, by Lady Justice Cecilia Githua.\n\n\"As the Governor of Homa Bay County, where the murder took place and where Sharon was from, I commend the integrity, transparency and efficiency with which this case has been handled,\" Wanga stated.\n\nShe noted that the conviction had brought closure to many Kenyans, particularly women and mothers who had followed the case since Sharon was abducted and killed in September 2018.\n\n\"I believe, along with other mothers, women and all who closely followed this case, that the truth has emerged and that justice has finally been served.\"\n\nSharon was abducted on September 3, 2018, before her body and that of her unborn child were discovered a day later in a thicket near Kodera Forest in Homa Bay County.\n\nThe High Court found that the prosecution had proved its case against the three accused beyond reasonable doubt.\n\nIn her judgment, Lady Justice Githua held that Obado had a strong motive to eliminate Sharon in a bid to prevent details of their relationship and her pregnancy from becoming public.\n\n\"From the totality of the evidence adduced in this case, it is my considered view that the first accused had a very strong motive to unlawfully end Sharon's life to ensure that his illicit affair with her was not widely publicised through the print media in order to save himself from possible public embarrassment and reputational harm and to safeguard his political standing,\" she said.\n\nThe court found that Obado supplied the motive, instigation and funds to facilitate the murder, while Oyamo coordinated its execution and Obiero provided logistical support and helped conceal the crime.\n\nObado and his co-accused are being remanded in prison for 21 days pending the filing of pre-sentencing reports after the court revoked their bond terms.",

"body": "Chief Conservator of Forests Alex Lemarkoko says Kenya's planned Guinness World Records attempt is aimed at advancing mangrove restoration, climate action and the protection of coastal livelihoods.\n\nThe Chief Conservator of Forests, Alex Lemarkoko, has said Kenya's planned Guinness World Records attempt for the \"Most people planting mangrove trees simultaneously\" is about far more than securing global recognition, describing it as a major step towards strengthening climate action, restoring degraded ecosystems and protecting livelihoods that depend on the country's blue economy.\n\nThe historic event, organised by the Kenya Scouts Association (KSA) in partnership with the Kenya Forest Service (KFS), is scheduled for Sunday, July 26, at the Jomvu Mangrove Ecosystem in Mombasa County.\n\nThe exercise will mobilise 5,000 participants in what is expected to be one of the country's largest coordinated mangrove restoration initiatives.\n\nThe date coincides with the International Day for the Conservation of Mangrove Ecosystems, celebrated annually on July 26.\n\nThis year's theme, \"Healthy Mangroves for Sustainable Blue Economy and Climate Resilience,\" underscores the growing importance of protecting mangrove forests in the face of climate change.\n\nLemarkoko said the initiative presents Kenya with an opportunity to demonstrate global leadership in environmental conservation while delivering lasting ecological benefits.\n\n\"Beyond securing a spot in global history, this initiative represents a critical stride toward environmental sustainability and more specifically the conservation of mangrove ecosystems which are critical for enhanced carbon sequestration and the sustenance of community livelihoods especially in the blue economy.\"\n\nHe noted that the record attempt has been designed to strengthen the conservation, protection and sustainable management of Kenya's mangrove ecosystems while contributing to the Government's long-term environmental agenda.\n\n\"This world record attempt is designed to enhance the conservation, protection, and sustainable management of Kenya's vital mangrove ecosystems, safeguard coastal community livelihoods, and directly support the Presidential directive to grow 15 billion trees by 2032 propelling the nation toward a 30% national tree cover goal.\"\n\nRecognising the scale and international significance of the initiative, the Kenya Forest Service has assumed the lead technical and coordination role to ensure the exercise meets the strict standards required by Guinness World Records while delivering meaningful ecological restoration.\n\nTo support the verification process, KFS has deployed two independent witnesses and 50 stewards who will provide impartial oversight, monitor participant groups and compile the documentation required by Guinness World Records adjudicators.\n\nPreparations have also included technical mapping of the restoration site, volunteer coordination, site readiness and continuous engagement with Guinness World Records officials, independent witnesses and local community stakeholders.\n\nAccording to Lemarkoko, the partnership between KFS and the Kenya Scouts Association demonstrates how collaboration can accelerate environmental conservation while showcasing Kenya as a global leader in forest landscape restoration and climate action.\n\nBeyond the anticipated world record, he said the greatest achievement will be the restoration of mangrove ecosystems that continue to support biodiversity, strengthen climate resilience and sustain thousands of livelihoods along Kenya's coastline.",

"body": "Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga has welcomed the High Court's decision convicting former Migori Governor Okoth Obado and his co-accused, Michael Oyamo and Caspal Obiero, in the murder of university student Sharon Otieno.\n\nIn a statement, Wanga commended the High Court for what she described as the integrity, transparency and efficiency demonstrated in handling the case, which has spanned nearly eight years.\n\n\"The High Court has delivered its verdict on the long-running murder case of Ms. Sharon Otieno, bringing an end to one of Kenya's most high-profile criminal trials,\" Wanga said.\n\nObado, his former personal assistant Oyamo, and former Migori County clerk Obiero were found guilty of the murder of Sharon and her unborn child in a judgment delivered on Thursday, July 23, by Lady Justice Cecilia Githua.\n\n\"As the Governor of Homa Bay County, where the murder took place and where Sharon was from, I commend the integrity, transparency and efficiency with which this case has been handled,\" Wanga stated.\n\nShe noted that the conviction had brought closure to many Kenyans, particularly women and mothers who had followed the case since Sharon was abducted and killed in September 2018.\n\n\"I believe, along with other mothers, women and all who closely followed this case, that the truth has emerged and that justice has finally been served.\"\n\nSharon was abducted on September 3, 2018, before her body and that of her unborn child were discovered a day later in a thicket near Kodera Forest in Homa Bay County.\n\nThe High Court found that the prosecution had proved its case against the three accused beyond reasonable doubt.\n\nIn her judgment, Lady Justice Githua held that Obado had a strong motive to eliminate Sharon in a bid to prevent details of their relationship and her pregnancy from becoming public.\n\n\"From the totality of the evidence adduced in this case, it is my considered view that the first accused had a very strong motive to unlawfully end Sharon's life to ensure that his illicit affair with her was not widely publicised through the print media in order to save himself from possible public embarrassment and reputational harm and to safeguard his political standing,\" she said.\n\nThe court found that Obado supplied the motive, instigation and funds to facilitate the murder, while Oyamo coordinated its execution and Obiero provided logistical support and helped conceal the crime.\n\nObado and his co-accused are being remanded in prison for 21 days pending the filing of pre-sentencing reports after the court revoked their bond terms.",

"title": "Female faith leaders urged to lead fight against GBV",
"body": "This call was made during a high-level event on \"Elevating Female Faith Leaders' Voices in Ending Gender-Based Violence,\" convened by the International Gender Champions (IGC) Nairobi Hub in collaboration with World Vision East Africa Regional Office and Plan International.\n\nFemale faith leaders have been urged to take a more prominent role in Kenya's fight against Gender-Based Violence (GBV), amid growing recognition of their influence in shaping community attitudes, supporting survivors and challenging harmful social norms.\n\nThe call was made during a high-level forum in Nairobi on \"Elevating Female Faith Leaders' Voices in Ending Gender-Based Violence,\" where religious leaders, development partners and gender advocates pushed for greater inclusion of women of faith in national and grassroots GBV prevention and response efforts.\n\nThe meeting, convened by the International Gender Champions (IGC) Nairobi Hub in partnership with World Vision East Africa Regional Office and Plan International, underscored the critical role female faith leaders can play in driving behaviour change, promoting gender equality and strengthening community-based responses to violence.\n\nThe dialogue comes as violence against women and girls remains a major concern. Globally, nearly one in three women, an estimated 840 million women and girls, have experienced physical or sexual violence in their lifetime, according to the World Health Organization.\n\nIn Sub-Saharan Africa, around 34 per cent of girls are affected by child marriage, while more than 144 million women and girls have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM). The scale of the challenge, participants said, requires greater investment in trusted community voices that can help prevent violence before it occurs.\n\n\"Every time a woman finds the courage to speak, it is because someone believed in her and was willing to sit down and listen. Every time a girl stays in school instead of becoming a child bride, every time a survivor finds healing instead of shame, and every time a family chooses respect over violence, we change more than one life. We change the trajectory of generations. Ending gender-based violence therefore requires all of us, governments, faith communities, civil society, development partners, the private sector, women, girls, boys and men to speak up and challenge harmful norms. Each of us has a vital role to play.\" said Lilian Dodzo, Regional Leader and Vice President of World Vision International, East Africa Region.\n\nFemale faith leaders, participants noted, are uniquely positioned to influence attitudes and behaviours within families and communities. As pastors, counsellors, teachers, mentors and caregivers, they often work directly with women, children and families affected by or at risk of violence. Yet their voices remain underrepresented in policy and decision-making spaces.\n\nThe dialogue therefore called for female faith leaders to be recognised not only for their pastoral and caregiving roles, but also as policy influencers, decision makers and strategic partners in preventing GBV and advancing gender equality.\n\nAccording to the Africa Gender Index 2023, Africa has achieved only 50.3 per cent of the progress needed to reach gender equality, while women's economic parity declined from 61 per cent in 2019 to 58.2 per cent in 2023 highlighting the continent's wider gender equality gap.\n\n\"These figures show that we still have a long way to go. We need to do more to ensure women have a stronger voice in shaping the decisions that affect their lives and communities. Female faith leaders especially have an important role to play in this work, and we must create more opportunities for them to lead, speak up and be heard. We also need to separate matters which require abitration from GBV issues which are criminal in nature so they receive the appropriate justice needed\" said, Rev. Dr. Linda Ochola, Senior Coordinator, Church Partnerships, International Justice Mission (IJM)\n\nKenya Participants also called for faith institutions to become safer spaces for survivors by establishing confidential mechanisms for reporting abuse and accessing appropriate support. They stressed the importance of ensuring that survivor experiences and voices inform how faith communities shape GBV prevention and response efforts.\n\n\"We must move beyond simply having a woman's name on a committee or leadership structure and ensure women have a meaningful voice in decision-making. Women should be given opportunities to serve in positions of leadership, including as Kadis and in mosque committees, because they understand and can speak to issues that directly affect women. We cannot continue to make decisions for women without having women at the table.\" Said Dr. Sheikh Hasan Kenyomari, Chairman, Muslim Persons of Africa.\n\nThe discussion also focused on the role of faith leaders in shaping the attitudes of Africa's young population. With approximately 60 per cent of Africa's population under the age of 25, participants said female faith leaders can serve as positive role models for young people and help challenge harmful ideas about gender, relationships and violence.\n\n\"The values young people develop today will shape the Africa we live in tomorrow. We need to ensure they have positive role models who can help them understand that respect and equality are not optional, and that violence has no place in our families or communities. Female faith leaders can be powerful voices in that conversation, particularly for young people who look to them for guidance.\" said Hajir Maalim, Regional Director, Middle East, Eastern & Southern Africa, Plan International\n\nWorld Vision International has worked with faith leaders across East Africa through approaches including Channels of Hope and Becoming One, supporting efforts to challenge harmful social norms, strengthen families, promote positive masculinity,support survivors and build relationships grounded in dignity, respect and mutual accountability.\n\nThe dialogue was held ahead of Pan-African Women's Day on 31 July and comes as the continent strengthens its commitment to ending violence against women and girls through the African Union Convention on Ending Violence Against Women and Girls (AU CEVAWG).",

"body": "The three men admitted to concealing information about those behind the Oyo state school attacks\n\nThree men in Nigeria have been sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to offences linked to the kidnapping of dozens of pupils and teachers in the south-western state of Oyo.\n\nThey admitted to concealing information about those behind the attacks and confessed to being members of an affiliate of the Islamist militant group Boko Haram.\n\nThe convictions come nearly two weeks after the authorities announced the rescue of 44 pupils and teachers abducted during co-ordinated attacks on three schools in Oyo's Oriire district in May.\n\nThe abductions triggered protests from parents, teachers' unions and rights organisations, all calling for stronger measures to protect schools.\n\nMass abductions by armed groups have become a common tactic across Nigeria in recent years - often requesting ransoms for the release of the captives. They tend to focus on soft targets such as schools, churches, mosques and remote villages.\n\nThey pleaded guilty to concealing information but denied conspiring with other suspects between January and May 2026 to kidnap schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo state.",

"body": "Judges at the International Criminal Court terminated proceedings against the former leader of an armed group in Darfur on Thursday after prosecutors withdrew the charges against Abdallah Banda Abakaer Nourain.\n\nThe prosecution said the evidence against Banda, who had been charged with war crimes over a 2007 attack on African Union peacekeepers, had deteriorated in the time since the charges were confirmed over a decade ago in 2011.\n\n\"There are no longer substantial grounds to believe that Mr Banda is responsible for the charged crimes,\" the prosecution said.\n\nThe judges said the withdrawal of the charges and the termination of the case does not prevent prosecutors from bringing a similar case against Banda later.\n\nBanda had been leader of the Justice and Equality Movement, one of the two main armed groups in Darfur during a conflict that erupted in 2003 when mostly non-Arab rebels took up arms against Sudan's government.\n\nIn response, Sudan's then-government mobilised Arab militias known as the Janjaweed to crush the revolt, unleashing violence that the U.S. and human rights groups said amounted to genocide.\n\nThe United Nations Security Council referred the case to the ICC in 2005.\n\nIn 2023, a new war broke out in Darfur and across Sudan pitting the army against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, widely seen as successors to the Janjaweed.\n\nThe ICC has so far only held one trial over Darfur atrocities and sentenced a Janjaweed militia leader to 20 years in prison for war crimes and crimes against humanity.\n\nThere are three publicly known outstanding ICC arrest warrants for suspects wanted over the 2003-2005 Darfur conflict, including former Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir who faces accusations of genocide.",

"title": "EACC flags fake Cabinet vetting letter",
"body": "It purported to request the commission to conduct integrity vetting on five individuals\n\nIn a statement posted on its official social media platforms, the anti-graft agency distanced itself from the document after it circulated on social media.\n\nThe purported letter, dated July 23 was allegedly addressed to EACC Chief Executive Officer Abdi Ahmed Mohamud and claimed to have originated from the National Assembly.\n\nIt purported to request the commission to conduct integrity vetting on five individuals who were listed as nominees for various Cabinet positions.\n\nAmong those named in the forged document were Winnie Odinga, who was purportedly nominated for the Tourism and Wildlife docket, Junet Mohamed for Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development and Koki Muli for Water, Sanitation and Irrigation.\n\nOther individuals mentioned were Cleophas Malala for Agriculture and Livestock Development and Dr Agnes Zani for Information, Communications and the Digital Economy.\n\nAccording to the letter, the vetting request was made \"in line with our constitutional mandate to ensure transparency and integrity in the appointment of high-ranking public officials.\"\n\nIt further claimed that the commission had been asked to review each nominee's background in accordance with ethical and legal standards applicable to holders of public office.\n\nThe forged correspondence also purported to direct the commission to submit its findings by Tuesday, July 28 to facilitate what it described as further proceedings within the stipulated timelines.\n\nThe letter concluded by thanking the commission for its cooperation and commitment to promoting ethical governance and expressed anticipation for a comprehensive report on the purported nominees.\n\nHowever, the EACC rejected the document in its entirety, making it clear that it was not genuine.\n\nThe commission shared the letter bearing a bold \"FAKE\" stamp, indicating that the document was not authentic and should not be treated as official communication.\n\nThe clarification comes amid increasing cases of fabricated government documents being shared online, often bearing official logos, letterheads and signatures in an attempt to create the impression of authenticity.\n\nSuch documents can easily mislead members of the public, particularly where they purport to communicate official government decisions or constitutional processes.\n\nIntegrity vetting of nominees for certain public offices is a recognised process under Kenya's governance framework.\n\nWhere applicable, institutions such as the EACC may provide information relevant to the suitability of nominees in accordance with the law.\n\nHowever, the commission's latest clarification underscores the importance of verifying the authenticity of official documents before relying on or sharing them.",

"body": "The seasoned rider is eager to improve on her Birmingham performance and believes another top showing is well within reach.\n\nKenyan cycling veteran Nancy Debe is determined to raise the bar at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games as she bids to better her best-ever finish from Birmingham 2022 while embracing the unfamiliar challenge of track cycling.\n\nAt the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, Debe competed in the women's cross-country mountain biking event, where she finished seventh.\n\nFour years later, the experienced rider returns with renewed belief and a fresh challenge as she swaps rugged trails for the high-speed banks of the track.\n\nUnlike previous editions of the Games, this year's cycling programme will feature only track cycling events, with both able-bodied and para-cycling races set to be staged inside the velodrome.\n\nDebe headlines a six-member Kenyan cycling squad alongside Monica Jelimo, Kendra Masiga, Evan Wangai, Cornelius Kemboi and Peterson Kamau, who will all fly the country's flag in the track cycling competition.\n\nThe seasoned rider is eager to improve on her Birmingham performance and believes another top showing is well within reach.\n\n\"My best result at the Commonwealth Games is seventh, so if I can equal that or better it, I'll take it,\" she said. Track cycling and para-track cycling events will get underway next Thursday.\n\nThe Glasgow Games will feature 18 track cycling medal events alongside eight para-track cycling medal events at the iconic Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome.\n\nDebe's second Commonwealth Games appearance, however, presents an entirely different test as she prepares to compete on the steeply banked boards of the velodrome instead of the mountain bike course.\n\n\"This is my second Commonwealth Games. Although this year will be different because this time there is no mountain biking, I will be on the track, the velodrome,\" Debe said.\n\nTrack cycling is one of the fastest disciplines in the sport, contested on a steeply banked oval track using lightweight, single-speed fixed-gear bicycles with no brakes, demanding explosive speed, tactical awareness and flawless bike handling.\n\nDespite stepping into unfamiliar territory, Debe is relishing the challenge. \"It will be a good challenge for me. It's still cycling although it's different from mountain biking.\"\n\nThe 38-year-old believes Kenya's preparations received a timely boost at the CAC Track African Championships held in Abuja, Nigeria, from May 13-17, where the squad gained valuable exposure to elite track racing. \"We went to Nigeria and got some good experience at the African Championships to familiarise ourselves with track racing,\" she said.\n\nDebe will also be carrying with her the lessons learnt from her debut Commonwealth Games campaign in Birmingham, experiences she hopes will serve her well in Glasgow. \"From my last appearance I learnt to go all in because I deserve to be at that stage just like any other cyclist.\"\n\nWhile she is targeting a strong performance, the veteran rider insists she also wants to savour every moment of competing on one of the biggest multi-sport stages. \"I hope to have fun because sometimes we get too focused and forget to enjoy the fact that you are part of the Games.\"\n\nMaking a second Commonwealth Games appearance is, she says, a milestone she does not take for granted.\n\n\"Not many cyclists make it to the Commonwealth Games, so this is a full-circle moment for me, and I am proud of myself.\"\n\nAs one of the senior members of the Kenyan squad, Debe says experience has taught her to compete with freedom rather than pressure. \"I am not going in under any pressure. I think I am the oldest in the group, so I'm under no pressure at all.\"",

"title": "Karua: Sharon verdict should end culture of delayed justice in femicide",
"body": "She says Sharon's family had finally received justice after nearly eight years of waiting\n\nPeople's Liberation Party leader Martha Karua has said the conviction of former Migori Governor Okoth Obado and his two co-accused over the murder of university student Sharon Otieno should serve as a turning point in Kenya's response to femicide.\n\nShe said Sharon's family had finally received justice after nearly eight years of waiting, but noted that the lengthy process underscored the urgent need to reform how such cases are handled.\n\n\"It has taken seven years and 10 months, 42 prosecution witnesses, and 81 exhibits presented by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for justice for Sharon Otieno to finally arrive. Today, as Sharon's family sat in court to hear the verdict, we were reminded of the immense cost of justice delayed,\" Karua said.\n\nWhile commending the prosecution for securing the convictions, Karua said justice should not take nearly a decade, urging institutions within the criminal justice system to handle all femicide cases with the same commitment shown in Sharon's case.\n\n\"We commend the prosecution, but justice must not take nearly a decade,\" she said.\n\nKarua noted that women across the country continue to lose their lives to femicide, saying every victim deserves an equally thorough investigation and timely prosecution regardless of the level of public attention a case attracts.\n\n\"Across Kenya, from young girls to grandmothers, women continue to be lost to a horrific wave of femicide. Our police, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, and the courts must bring the same rigour, urgency and commitment to every case, not only those that attract national attention,\" she said.\n\nShe further called on all Kenyans to play a role in ending violence against women.\n\n\"We must all do our part to end the killing of women,\" Karua said.\n\nHer remarks came after the High Court found former Migori Governor Okoth Obado, his former personal assistant Michael Oyamo and former Migori County clerk Caspal Obiero guilty of Sharon's murder, bringing to an end one of Kenya's most closely watched criminal trials.\n\nDelivering judgment on Thursday, Justice Cecilia Githua ruled that the prosecution had proved its case against the three accused persons beyond reasonable doubt.\n\n\"It is therefore my finding that the prosecution has proved its case against the first, second and third accused persons beyond reasonable doubt. I consequently find each accused guilty of the offence of murder. Each accused is accordingly convicted,\" the judge ruled.\n\nThe case arose from the September 2018 killing of Sharon, a 26-year-old Rongo University student who was about seven months pregnant at the time of her death.\n\nDuring the trial, the prosecution called 42 witnesses and relied largely on circumstantial evidence, presenting 81 exhibits in support of its case.\n\nJustice Githua found that the prosecution had established an unbroken chain of circumstantial evidence linking the three accused persons to Sharon's abduction and murder.\n\nThe court also found that Obado had a motive arising from Sharon's pregnancy and rejected his claim that he had accepted it, holding that evidence presented during the trial showed he had instead pressured her to terminate it.\n\nSharon was abducted alongside Nation Media Group journalist Barrack Oduor after leaving Graca Hotel in Rongo on September 3, 2018.\n\nOduor escaped by jumping from the moving vehicle, while Sharon's body was later found in a thicket near Kodera Forest in Homa Bay county with multiple stab wounds.\n\nThe convictions marked the end of nearly eight years of investigations and court proceedings in a case that has remained a defining symbol of Kenya's fight against violence targeting women.",
