This ruling was made after the court found that prolonged air pollution at the dumpsite violated the pickers’ constitutional rights.

• Each of the 1,032 waste pickers is to receive Ksh25,000 in damages.
• The case was filed as a class action on September 19, 2023, by five petitioners.
• Justice Anne Omollo delivered the judgment on Thursday, February 4.
• The court found violations of rights including to a clean environment, highest attainable health standard, and human dignity.

Nandi Senator Kiprotich Cherargei has denounced the transfer of senior police officers implicated in the recent Nandi Hills assault case as a "travesty of justice." He criticized the National Police Service (NPS) for merely transferring the officers instead of pursuing disciplinary action and criminal prosecution.

• The incident involved eight police officers brutally assaulting youths playing pool on January 10.
• Senator Cherargei stated that legal action is being pursued through the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) and a private legal team.
• The NPS had ordered administrative action against six senior officers, including the Sub-County Police Commander (OCPD) for Tinderet, following an investigation by the Internal Affairs Unit (IAU).
