Once A Criminal...
Mid 2016, police found themselves dealing with a new and awkward form of crime. Criminal gangs in Kisauni, mombasa were reportedly waylaying women and suckling their breasts. Months earlier and those that would follow, the gangs attacked their victims with machetes fatally wounding dozens and in most cases causing life threatening injuries. Most people now walk in Kisauni with scars inflicted by the gangs.
To understand why they did it and how coordinated the gangs were, NTV set out on a journey to speak to former members of the dreaded Wakali Kwanza and Wakali Wao gangs and now we can present this special report – ONCE A CRIMINAL, Inside the dreaded lives of Kisauni Gangs.

The Holy Betrayal
The seventh-Day Adventist church has been fighting for it's space and legitimacy over the years as critics and self-proclaimed cult watchers like Dr Walter Martin attempted to liken it to one in a 1955 book, the Rise of the Cults. Until Walter and the likes changed their views in 1965, the church has grown and tremendously transformed the belief of their members. By 2019, there were 21,000,000 baptized members around the world. In this story, we focus on the emergence of SDA offshoots, splinter groups that are threatening the legitimacy of the church and creating a fight between extremists and Adventists.

#DefeatingJustice: The mismanagement of corruption cases by the ODPP
The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions has come under mounting criticism over the handling of corruption cases. Most recently, the office has clashed with the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission on the withdrawal of two cases involving former high ranking government officials. The courts have also taken issue with what one judge described as the 'fashion' of withdrawing cases by the office of the DPP. The office of the DPP has also been called to order by the courts in some cases for preferring charges before conclusive investigations and in others, sabotaging their own cases mid-stream when the courts decline their applications for withdrawal, giving accused persons a walk over. The civil society has joined the courts in calling for consequences where the office of the DPP fails to discharge their constitutional mandate.

State House road executions: Murders that shook the presidency
March 5, 2009 was a tense Thursday in Nairobi. Security forces seemed overwhelmed by protesting members of the outlawed Mungiki sect who had paralysed activities in various parts of the city.
The protests were about the rise in extrajudicial killings by the police. The demonstrators had the backing of the Oscar Foundation, which had documented evidence of police excesses and also offered free legal aid to victims.
Earlier that afternoon, then Government Spokesperson Alfred Mutua, like police headquarters, had warned that stern action would be taken against any organisation abetting Mungiki activities.
At dusk, two officials of the Oscar Foundation, Oscar Kamau King'ara, 39, and George Paul (GP) Oulu, 26, were ambushed by gunmen in rush hour traffic along State House Road.
Oscar and his communications and advocacy officer were shot dead at point blank range at around 6.30pm.
