The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is seeking public assistance to identify a person of interest in the murder investigation of PCEA Reverend Julius Ndumia Ngari. The cleric was killed on May 3 in Nakuru North Sub-County.

• The DCI released two images of the individual, believed to have information aiding in the identification of accomplices.
• Two suspects, linked to a notorious gang, were previously arrested and have pleaded not guilty to charges.
• The court has set a pre-trial conference for June 17, as investigations continue.

The National Assembly has received a petition seeking significant reforms to Kenya's succession laws, addressing concerns over lengthy and costly inheritance processes that tie up assets for decades.

• The petition highlights that millions of acres of land and other productive assets remain registered under deceased persons' names due to these delays.
• The petition was submitted by former Taita Taveta governor John Mruttu and 22 others to National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula.
• Petitioners are urging Parliament to review the Law of Succession Act to introduce simplified procedures for small estates and decentralize probate services.

Nine years after a landmark 2017 ruling by the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights recognized the Ogiek people as ancestral owners of Kenya's Mau Forest, they continue to face evictions and exclusion from their ancestral lands.

• Despite the court's affirmation of their rights and subsequent orders in 2022 for reparations and land titling, implementation has stalled.
• The Ogiek community, estimated at 20,000-30,000 members, have lived in the Mau Forest for generations.
• Community leaders, including John Samorai, report continued evictions and a lack of action from the government, even on simple orders like publishing the court's judgments.
