We’re coming for you, Kimani Ichung’wah tells corrupt judicial officers
As the uproar over President William Ruto’s threat to disobey court orders issued by “bribe-taking judges” continues to grow, his close ally and National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah has maintained that “corrupt judges must fall”.
Mr Ichung’wah suggested a judicial radical surgery similar to the one under former President Mwai Kibaki's first term in office to get rid of corrupt judges and other senior officials within the Judiciary.
Speaking in a wide-ranging interview with the Nation, Mr Ichung’wah said that heads will soon roll, in an escalation of the Kenya Kwanza administration’s fight against corruption. He explained that the fight against graft targets corrupt individuals in all three arms of government.

Sweet but deadly Tharaka Nithi honey || 12 minutes
At least 13 people have died after consuming wild honey locally known as Nchuura in Tharaka Nithi county in the last two years. Since 2019, Tharaka North constituency hits headlines as people die and scores hospitalized following the same. Nchuura is not made by common bees but by a species of smaller ones locally known as tuchuura, which do not sting and mainly live in hollow tress or abandoned burrows in the ground. Locals believe that the honey which is eaten raw, is medicinal and it is highly sought after, especially by pastoralists. The locals say Nchuura is sweeter than the normal honey and they cannot resist its sweetness despite it being deadly.

So what drives him to be this passionate about mama Africa? What kind of Africa is his dream about and who inspires him the most?
